Bravo, Pavo! Not. / UPDATED

My Panic
I went to a concert once, back in 1996. I was crazy about Lenny Kravitz, and he was performing with Neil Young, Blues Traveler and a couple of other acts for the H.O.R.D.E festival. I was in my early twenties, … Continue reading

Time Off
Labor Day weekend was the final week we’d have a full crew. We took advantage of it by taking 5 days off. I created an itinerary touring as much of our state (Oregon) as we could see. We started by … Continue reading

Scatterbrained
Did I mention that I got swine flu? No? The day we got back from Hawaii, I was feeling a bit sluggish. When we re-opened the restaurant on Friday, I didn’t show up. I had a feeling I was getting … Continue reading
and in other news…
Steady day and stellar sales on Saturday. Our former ovens/kitchen guy (JC) is home from college and had mentioned to us last week that if we wanted to take a night off? He’d be our guy. So tonight? He was … Continue reading
*betrayal*

Two Years
Our restaurant has been open for two years as of today. Two years. Of course, it took a lot longer than that to actually get the place open. Four separate SBA loans to take over a destroyed building and turn … Continue reading
Happy Birthday, Paizano’s!!!!
Paizano’s has been open for one entire year now, and honestly, I feel like it’s been more like five years. It’s amazing how much we’ve learned in these past 12-months, and how routine everything has become. Knowing our regular customers … Continue reading
Our Anniversary, and our five fights.
Whitey and I celebrated our anniversary a few days ago. Only four years of marriage, yet it feels like a lifetime. Is that a good or bad point? In the last year, we had our third, fourth and fifth fight … Continue reading

Full Disclosure
Our local newspaper is writing a series of articles on local businesses that have received Gov’t backed loans. We’re not mentioned, although we might be the “one” loan that was mentioned that wasn’t obtained locally. Hmm. So. Since everyone seems … Continue reading

Busy on Christmas Eve
We were so flippin’ busy at the restaurant today. With only MIL and I in the front, and our kitchen gal and Whitey in the back, we were running all afternoon. I actually broke a sweat at one point. In … Continue reading
Thanksgiving
My folks were in town for Thanksgiving, and I’m pretty sure that they left Baker City 10lbs. heavier than when they had arrived. They ate, and ate, and ate some more. I wanted them to try everything on the menu. … Continue reading
SNOW!
Last night, Baker City received it’s first snowfall. Our packed dining room disappeared about ten minutes later, and the rest of us stared out the windows watching the flakes fall. A couple of kids went out into the parking lot … Continue reading
