Last night we had a table of 18 cancel on us (with no deposit) 30 mins before their time. A friend in another place said they had a booking of 18. No way that's a coincidence. We bring in extra ingredients, labour and more when things are like that. We wouldn't have to take

The harsh reality is restaurants need to turn tables to make money. We need to either charge you much more to increase the cost per head or flip tables. Sorry if you want to spend 3hrs just sipping on coffee, but that doesn't keep a place alive

Quick tip for all you home cooks. You're cooking bacon? Cook it slow and really render out that fat. KEEP that fat, in a jar and then you will always have delicious reserved bacon fat on hand. Fry eggs, roast veggies, whatever. The world is your bacon-y oyster
