New Article and KNON Event
BlackWhiteRead has a very nice article about us; they reference the fact that authentic Texas chili is hard to find in Dallas. Hopefully we can continue to spread the word; it's easy to forget that we haven't even been open a full year with all the great support.
The KNON event looks like it will be a lot of fun. The venue is "Pearl at Commerce", a cool-looking space with a name which should appeal to the practical-minded as it is located on Commerce street & Pearl. Tickets are only $6.00 in advance and $10.00 at the door. We are selling advance tickets so drop by and pick some up.
On the expansion front, our landlord has pulled the permits and drawn up the plans for the building renovation. We have a slight problem in the number of parking spaces that will be required with our new space. The City of Dallas requires restaurants to supply one parking space per 100 square feet of restaurant area (not just dining area but kitchen and walk-in space as well). So even though we would still be a tiny restaurant we would need 11 parking spaces, which doesn't leave enough for the convenience store and whoever* else would want to lease the other two planned suites. Fran is going to head down to Oak Cliff Monday morning and plead our case so we can work something out. We've been told the city is very pro-development so maybe they will let us use some of the spaces in the all-but-abandoned administration building next door.
*Attention Mom - is it whomever or whoever here?
