Restaurant Refrigeration

Saturday October 24, 2009

Today I look at restaurant refrigeration. Not the sexiest restaurant topic, but an integral part of any restaurant.

Read on for a break down of all the different types of commercial restaurant coolers and freezers.

Ode to a Hippie Sandwich Shop

Monday October 19, 2009

I am not a big lunch fan. I much prefer eating dinner out, give the choice. However, I recently had the pleasure of eating at my favorite hippie sandwich shop for lunch, nestled in the mountains of Western Maine. While I was sitting in the oh so funky dining room, I thought about why exactly, I liked the café so much. Beyond the yummy food and super friendly service, the café is located in a converted federal-period brick house, exuding warmth and welcome. The design of the dining room is cozy, with sofas and chairs intermingling at tables. (alas, no booths, though!) The music (I believe it was Ray Lamontagne, also a native of Western Maine) was perfect. All and all a great lunch! What gets you stoked about eating out? Share your story at the Restaurant Forum.
