Bacon Menu Adjustments

"So, what do you think?" Kate asked.

"It's...alright.  I think it's just a little, I don't know...boring?" I said.  

"Boring?  You think it's boring?  You're boring!" she said & took the rest of the sandwich next door to let our neighbor Steph try some.

After making our last appearances at Belmont Park & Point Loma markets, we went out to happy hour Sunday night at Sunshine Company in OB where we first met.  Over pitchers & Mexican food at the adjacent Livingston's Chicken Kitchen we talked about our next moves for Mad Munch.

"We should do Gaslamp next week," I suggested.  "Dave already said we could if we wanted to.  The fee's only 10% of sales & it's only four hours.  We'd be home by 1:30."  Dave was the market manager for OB.

"Yeah, why not?  It's gotta be better than Point Loma," she said.  "I think we need to change up a few things on the menu too."

"Like what?"

"Get rid of the Wheat & Egg Bread," Kate suggested.  "There's always leftover of those two & everybody likes Sourdough."

"Alright, two less things to buy on the Grocery List, I like it," I said.

"And, we should add bacon.  You've been talking about it.  Wasn't there one you wanted to do with bacon & turkey?" she asked.

"Yeah, a turkey, bacon & ranch one.  When I worked at a pizza place in college one of my favorite pizzas was the chicken, bacon & ranch, but sliced turkey is more sandwich friendly." I said. 

"That sounds good.  So many people ask if we have bacon when they order." Kate said.  "Everybody likes bacon."

"Well, we'll have to up the prices a little bit then, bacon is more expensive," I said.

"No, we should definitely raise our prices.  They were charging $6 for sub sandwiches at La Mesa & our sandwiches are way bigger than that," Kate said.

"Yeah, that makes sense.  And people will pay it," I said.

"And, I wanna make my own sandwich," Kate said.  "The Katers' Taters.  Like a loaded baked potato grilled cheese with bacon, sour cream & chives."

"That's really good," Steph said.  "I would order that for sure!"  Our roommate Zack agreed, "Damn, that's good.  What are those french fries in there?"

"Hash browns," Kate answered & looked at me like I was an idiot.  

And, I was.  Katers' Taters would go on to be one of Mad Munch's top three all-time best sellers.  It's always good to get a second (& even a third) opinion.
