What are we even doing here? This isn't a sandwich. If you're hipster, it's a long way from a "handheld." It's an abomination. A mess.
A good sandwich shouldn't be a chore to eat. We shouldn't need to be hosed down when we're done, or need so many napkins the Ents go on the march. Nobody wants to feel like Dagwood Bumstead.
Don't insult the customer's intelligence. Lay the bun flat, serve it open faced, and list it on the menu accordingly.
I don't know where this originated (if anyone does, I'd like to give credit), but it's brilliant.

Some #MondayMotivation from The Kingpin:
"Problems... Are just opportunities that haven't presented themselves."
- Wilson Fisk, Daredevil S1 E6
Dude may have been a sociopathic crime lord, but he wasn't wrong.
Was able to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather today.
The 12yo completed another circuit around the sun and will be referred to as the 13yo from now on.
We celebrated the occasion at the new location for Gotta B. Crepes in Highland Park, Illinois, USA and YOU GUYS... if you're in the #Chicago area, run don't walk there for the yummiest crepes around. Also, the owners Ryan and Kathia are the NICEST people. "Thanks for the positive vibes." 😉

Taking a moment here to brag and show some appreciation. For a school assignment, the 12yo had to write to a business. With no guidance from me and showing wisdom beyond his years, he decided to write to Home Run Inn Pizzaria.
A couple of days ago, he received a FedEx package from Home Run Inn containing free pizza coupons, pizza plates, magnets, and the nicest note. Some marketing intern definitely earned their pay! Home Run Inn now has a fan for life. 🍕 #Chicago #Pizza #Food #DadThoughts
Tonight's libation: Dirty Bastard Scotch Style Ale from Founders Brewing Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
