To do list…

Now that the reality has set in and we are counting down days instead of months, we realized that we probably will not be available to accomplish everything of our To Do List. With that said, we are removing a few things of our list and putting it on the back burner for now.

They are the following;

-East Side Cafe
-Wahoo Fish Tacos
-Rudy’s BBQ
-Mighty Fine Burgers

Might need to re-visit the list a little down the road, but for now… that’s it…

Thank you and come again!
