Best new business? Way cool! The header scared me for a second like maybe
you were the #1 Q joint in Wenatchee which is kind of ambiguous when you're
the *only* Q joint in town <g>. May your fortunes increase.

Congrats, Dave. You and your family as quite deserving of that honor. Keep

Not very often. When we do, it's usually our ribs and Critter Goop.

LMAO! I dont' know if that was intentionally funny (I suspect so), but
thanks for the laugh.
Reminds me of the sexual harassment seminar I attended that we devolved into
a (very serious of course) discussion of how a female supervisor could
harass underlings, of either gender. We were appalled.

I've known enough people in the restaurant biz to
know that I never want to open one :-) - because
it's a lot of heart-wrenching hard work to be
successful.

So, you're being recognized for being the best
new *business* - not just a great Q joint. That
speaks volumes.

Congratulations, Dave.

Well, Duh!

After all the prep work you did on your place, even after you learned to
cook the best barbecue, what else would you expect? Without even tasting
(one of these days, though...) your BBQ, I know it's among the best.

BUT, it sure must feel good to have someone put it in writing for everyone
to read.

Congratulations, Dave. Give the crew a big pat on the back, and make
plans for their bonuses (all of the crew, you included!).

Amazing NG!
I know several Newsgroups where a post similar to the one of Dave would
have been followed by a bunch of nasty comments based on "spam",
"advertising" and the like.
Here, no, everybody jump to heartfully and sincerely congratulate him.
So, Dave, I will congratulate you also, but for 2 things:
1 - For this award, for sure.
2 - For being one of those members who managed to keep this NG as it is.
And, for both items, my little wish: Keep on the good job :-)
Cheers
Daniel

Well David,

You'd have to know a little bit of the history of this newsgroup.
Dave B. was a major contributing member of this NG long before he
opened his BBQ joint this last October. Anyone who's been reading the
NG for more than 6 months has been able to follow some of the progress
as Dave moved from 'Enthusiast' to 'proprietor'. A number of us even
traveled up to his grand opening to show our support.

So it's not about someone spamming or posting a commercial post. It's
one of the newgroup regulars sharing their experience.

For pics of Dave's opening, check out http://www.chefjuke.com/daves/

Cheers,

Hi Dave,
I visited your website as well as the one of Chef Juke with photos or your
joint.
Interesting! From "some" photos, I could see that your guests were not
served only meat :-))

A small question, nothing to see with BBQ but with roofing (Sorry, I am more
qualified in roofing that in BBQing)

The main facade of your building is typical of what we call "Wild West
Saloon style" in Europe.
But the small roof that covers the entrance is made of corrugated metal
sheets.
Why you didn't went for bitumen roof shingles, more in line with the style?
Was it a question of cost? I have little idea of the construction costs in
the US.
Cheers
Daniel

The building is a post-frame construction. I actually have the entire roof
covered with steel roofing. Two primary reasons: 1. Durability. It ain't
going to wear out anytime soon. 2. Style. It helps keep the intended
"feel" of the building as a "joint"---- a place where folks can come just as
they are. The sides and back of the building are also covered with steel.
