I was so sure when John and I made the decision to open this place it would be an easy breezy job (tehehe)  My friend Johnny Mariakakis tried so hard to tell me …. this is not an easy job – think before you start this money pit!!!  If you’ve ever been to Mariakakis Fine food and wine up in Chapel Hill then most likely you have met Johnny.  He really did try his best to talk me out of doing this .. and there are days I wish I had listened a little better.  Anywho …. today is not one of those days : )  Today Maria and I pulled out some amazing last minute specials (since last nights farm delivery went astray)  what are we feeding you?  Sweet potato shepard’s pie, cold beet soup(ang style), left over stuffed peppers from yesterday (which maria and I shared one this morning and they’re so frigging tasty! .. thanks Screech for the recipe <3)
