WOW do those steaks look great Grant! I want to call her right NOW but I'm guessing a trip to North Dakota is not on Tana's bucket list.

Running a reaturant has always been hard work.  You need to have your nose in the books, at the public, and in the press to make it work.  Nice shout out for a great place, Grant!

What a nice testimonial for the Branding Iron. Sounds like a winner. Doing a great job of catering is tough and it sounds like Tana does it beautifully! And what a fun party for your wife!

Endre - in the 70's it might have been Torchia's Italian Restaurant at 518 North State Rd.  When Tana was there it was the Tuscan Grille.

Jeff - restaurant and catering is tough for sure.

Lou - and she really does appreciate it too.

Rebecca - it was a great night and she loved it.
