Mt P restaurant deadpool update
Jun 25, 2019, 3:26 PM
|
|
Handcrafted just open up in the Blvd apt complex across the street where Burger Fi/Los Playa nachos have already failed. Went there Friday, had 2 beers, a glass of wine and 8 wings: Bill was $60. I give it a 2/10 shot at making it.
713 Coleman: Most folks think the name is "Latin Night" due to the HUGE sign that says that outside. Also, a new sign twice that size that says OPEN is out there now. So its either "OPEN" or "Latin Night", but either way, there are never any cars there. I'm betting in <3 months it says "CLOSED". 1/10 shot at making it. Formerly the site of Smoke BBQ, Abe's oyster house, a Taco joint, and something else before that. Many years before that it was a gas station.
ICU list (close to dead)
Flying Biscuit just opened at the end of the street about 2 months ago. Terrible service is taking it's toll. Used to be open until 9 pm...rode by at 6pm the other day and it was DUN done. No cars in parking lot at breakfast. Grand Opening? Grand Closin'! (~$1 to Chris Rock)
Stacks (not the same as the one in Greenville I don't think) They got a "B" last month in food quality. Something about people not washing their hands, or plates, or something. Anyway, that's inspection #2 with a "B". I've never been there...and probably won't go.
Passed on to the rainbow bridge:
Atlantic Game and Tackle-Not a restaurant, but if a fishing place can't make it here, I'm not sure what can. Closed last month. I hadn't been in there in prob 5 years; I forgot it was even open.
And if the SCDOT doesn't hurry up and get that dammm crane out of Shem Creek, all of that may close, too. They should have started that project last November, not this March.

2 years or so worth of operating cash to open a place?

i've got a friend that is a consultant for them and we were talking a couple of weeks ago and the maroons he was dealing with wanted some ungodly amount of sq ft for something that would never use it nor fill it for that matter.
if you aren't willing to be married to the place or pay real money to a manager you know and trust well, you will never succeed.
handcrafted is a carbon copy of the guys place in NYC. We shall see if it works in a terrible location in Mt P. I'm with the 2/10

There are several reasons why

|
|
Aero's BBQ and Beer House hasn't become a thing yet. Reason 1 is a lack of unborrowed capital.

I would put in the Very Good BBQ category. And they have beer.

i like Smoky Dreams better - brisket and sides.
I did like the huge beef rib from Bobby's, but pork ribs were average at best.

713 was a pizza joint when I was in high school

handcrafted seems out of it's element.
I've heard that topsail (formerly finz) is legit.
Didn't realize that about Atlantic Game and Tackle, I guess that explains why Haddrell's moved into the hunting market with the little side shop.
I'm excited for my paisano's right next to my house

Apparently Handcraft is a transplant from NYC

You including tip in the tab, or no?
My research shows that the wings were $12, and that nearly all of the beers at the Handcraft in NYC are under $10. So you must've splurged a bit.

That was the bill.

Tip was in there_ i think it was $48 rounded up to $60. I remember the wings being $14.00..and the wine my wife had was at least $10 or $12.
