"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.
