THANK YOU!
Our first Learning Table Luncheon in January was highly attended and so great! Sam from Acapulco's and Pub 112, Jeff from Mad Capper and Aleks from Domacin shared about all kinds of challenges in running their restaurants from background on how they got into the restaurant business, to advertising in the digital age, we learned a bit about the chaotic world of being a restaurateur!

Thank you Sam, Jeff and Aleks for your generosity, and thank Shawn Hogendorf from Stillwater Currernt for being our moderator. 

Oh, we also have a really fantastic buffet lunch at Pub 112.
