Can we help wish Angie a very Happy Birthday? She’s an awesome wife, mom, grandma, server, and a special part of our family.

Next time you see her jogging down the street, tell her she doesn’t look a day over 28, tell her she reminds you of a famous celebrity but you can’t remember the name. Happy Birthday, Angie!

We had our busiest day ever yesterday in our family’s over 30 year history of running restaurants. You want to know how two brothers were able to do that? Our mom.

Our dad provided for our family, but our mom was the person who raised us. She made sure we went to church and became good men. She also made sure we stayed out of trouble and did our best in school. Without our mom and the person she is, we wouldn’t have become who we are and how we can now provide for our family - Happy Mother’s Day, mom. We love you so much!
