There is a husband wife team that work there.

The wife is the "tandem" cook along with the owner.

Her husband takes orders, waits tables, and runs the register.

They have it down so everything runs smoothly.

I told the owner once he runs a tight ship! (which he does)

Getting back to the husband/wife. One day as I head out after picking up my take out order I see the husband by his car - and it's a bit of a beater with one broken window with plastic covering it. He had the hood up and was fiddling with the battery. I offered to help but he said he had it covered.

It really stuck with me. A lot of these folks aren't rolling in money. Many could be living paycheck to paycheck. None of us actually know of course and it's really none of our business, for the most part.

Having gotten to know that couple - they are decent hard working folks and I will continue to assist in my own small fashion.

That's the beauty of patronizing the small businesses though. Many of them become family....
