Yesterday we had a gentleman in the cafe' who was there to judge us for the Best in State awards. I don't know that I could have picked better sandwiches for him to try and for us to compete with. He had the Philly and the Ruby, my one and two. Dave made the Ruby and I put out the Philly. The judge was quite impressed with our operation and he loved the food. I hope that love for the food translates into us winning best in state for something or other. Anyhow, it was a cake walk as far as making the sandwiches go. I wasn't at all nervous and just went for it and let me tell you, it looked fantastic. It is nice to have that kind of confidence in your food.
Well, it was a bit of a different story today when this lovely lady who I met the other night came in and she ordered a sandwich of the secret sandwich menu. It was the Hawaiian. As many as we have done I don't recall ever making this particular sandwich myself. Well, I told her I would personally make it for her when she ordered a sandwich so there I was making this Hawaiian. I was a nervous wreck. It was crazy as it was a complete contrast to the sandwich yesterday. The fact is that I kind of like this lady and so it was important to me that this sandwich was perfect. The good news is that she loved it and I got to talk to her for a few minutes. I know, I am a goofball but what does that matter? I probably stand no chance with this lady but does it hurt to dream a little.
