Congrats on the job! Just getting work in this economy is an achievement, I wish you well. It's also great that you found a job in the BBQ field. That corner location is truly a tough place.
As for those who don't know about Mr. K's, i'll tell you that I've known Ray Kendrick Jr.(Mr. K) for a few years. He has a passion for BBQ, has worked his tail off to build the name and can put out some real good food. This new location is actually not a second location but rather a new separate restaurant by fellow family piggybacking off his reputation and name. It's a long story, but it's my understanding the old Mr. K's now will be going under the name The Original Mr. K's. Personally, I will only frequent the Original, as the food is not commercial, it's a real guy trying to make it work through good food and long hours.
As anyone knows, restaurants deal with such a slim margain that they are a labor of love. The "Original" Mr' K's has a low overhead since it's located in half of an old Circle K and employs two people (truly old school).
Without going into dirty details, that's the story. Chris, we all wish you much success and hopefully the restaurant does well. The more BBQ the better.
