I don’t think so this must stop now!, Government run banks, manufacturers, mortgage guidelines i.e the
Wanna Keep your Business? Better Start Dialing...
mortgage industry crash, card check, cap and trade, tax payer monies to crush trucks, in the cash for clunkers program? $8.3 billion to Acorn this year alone but the $1.73 billion for the F-22 program which includes jobs and National Security is scrapped? What the hell is going on?
You “wanna” keep your business? You busted your backside to, start it, build it, keep it, and with one of these programs passed you will lose it..
Health Care
Card Check
Cap and Trade (Crap and Trade Scheme)
Let alone all three of these, you are out of business, everything will cost significantly more…
Less people employed… (yes these are job killers)!! prove me wrong I dare you!!
Imagine union employees plus mandated health care plus doubling the cost of everything you buy?
Go ahead sit on your hands let somebody else do it…

How Your Restaurant Can Help End Childhood Hunger
A week-long initiative that encourages consumers to “dine out” in restaurants to raise money to end childhood hunger in America.
Share Our Strength’s Great American Dine Out is a national program that unites thousands of restaurants and millions of consumers in the fight to end childhood hunger in America. For one week each year, thousands of restaurants—from coffee shops to fine dining establishments—offer consumers a chance to do good by eating out.
Thousands of restaurants have already signed up for the week-long event September 20 – 26. Many restaurants are ready to promote special menu items, sell T-shirts or bounce back coupons — all new flexible ways to get customers in the door and raise money to end childhood hunger in America.
The 2009 Great American Dine Out offers restaurant operators and managers a flexible program to become involved; restaurant managers need to decide how they want to implement and promote the September 20-26 event, How to engage and train their employees, and how to raise the funds they donate. Registered operators can use these ideas straight-up, adapt them to suite their own business or create their own.
Now in its second year, the money raised during the Great American Dine Out helps Share Our Strength fund community programs that provide resources and services to children right here in our communities. This money does not go over see it stays right here!
But we need your help!
Why Should You Get Involved?
In the world’s wealthiest nation, no child should grow up hungry. Yet, over the course of the year, more than 12 million children in American worry about when their next meal will come. That’s one in six who are at risk of hunger and who have limited or uncertain access to the nutritious foods they need to thrive. The funds raised through the Great American Dine Out help connect families to food.
At this time of great need, participating in the Great American Dine Out is a way to express your restaurant’s social responsibility.
Attract new customers and bring your regulars back through promotions.
Leverage your active support of Share Our Strength and its cause with your customers.
Enjoy increased visibility in the marketplace from Share Our Strength’s national campaign and sponsor outreach efforts.
Flexible Ways to Participate

Create a Fall menu item and donate the proceeds.
Customize and market a Great American Dine Out coupon to customers.
Donate a percentage of sales during the Great American Dine Out week.
Co-host a special Great American Dine Out dinner with a vendor or local celebrity and donate the proceeds.
Print T-shirts or caps and sell them to your customers.
Print out our Apple Coupons provided online in our Resource Center (link) and sell them for $1. Have your customers sign each purchased coupon to show their support to end childhood hunger in American, then post the coupons on your restaurant’s Hall of Fame. Donate the proceeds.
Rally employees with a contest to raise the most in donations.
Secure a matching grant from a supplier or other business partner.
Encourage your customers to make their own donations.

Not sure where to start this, being the week after fathers day, and July Fourth gets me thinking about being a father and our forefathers. What would our forefathers do? I am afraid that our nation is and has been under attack for quite some time Becoming a father is the fun part being a father is a lot like work. I am the father of 6 children I have run restaurants for over 25 years. what prepared me to being a father I will never know. I was not taught in school by my parents or by society. I will tell you that my wife is my best teacher, she leads 100% with her heart not her head! People always are in disbelief for some reason they feel the need to comment
“You know they know what causes that” or “How do you do that” or “Why” My response is always the same well which one do you think I should get rid of? Sound rough maybe, maybe not.
People say the dumbest things. My point is that there have been days, shifts where it seemed I spent more time counselling my staff then actually running a restaurant. I literally have left work drained from the worry, time energy and effort spent helping employees at sometime or another.
If you ask restaurant owners, managers the toughest part of the industry they will say managing employees. If you ask restaurant owners and managers the best part of their job they will say “restaurant employees” Image that, we do care we are not all draconian heartless bastards.
My gripe is well that the saddest sentence I hear is ” my babies daddy quit his job so he don’t got to pay no child support”, or my kids dad won’t pay his child support or provide any support whether it is time, money or energy. Get a job even if it is a restaurant job
We have become a nation of irresponsible people, our fore fathers and I do not use that term lightly gave everything to start this country, they new that it was God who guided and directed their efforts they believed in and took responsibility for their actions they new if caught the would be executed. They never fathered a country before, but that didn’t stop them they were driven. Driven like a father that feels the weight of responsibility of providing for his family and does anything he has to to make sure that their is food on the table and a roof over his families heads.
Our forefathers gave their personal fortunes to start this country. What have we given to ensure that it is here for our children and grandchildren? We complain, hold out our hand and expect the government to gives us hand out, we whine complain and blame others, sad.
“Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country”
John F. Kennedy
Now, it feels that the mind set is What can I get out of my country. Our politicians are irresponsible, our corporations are irresponsible, managers are irresponsible, fathers are irresponsible. So where did it start? Who cares There is only one place to end the lack of leadership our country has not seen in decades, if ever. it starts at home.
I know, I know, But my parents were mean, they were on drugs, they… they… they… Bullshit! You are Responsible for Your Decisions, you and only you. None of us took fathering classes, the our forefathers did not take “Revolution 101″ or “Intro to Starting a Country” course at the local community college! If you do not how to be a father and do not feel that you are capable of being father then either choose to keep your hands off of your women, or get a job and bust your ass to put food on the table for your child, for child’s mother, for you, for your country, for your God!
How many Fathers these days are willing to devote the lives let alone their fortunes to their families? How about their country? Thought so, waiting for a hand out? I am sorry if I am painting the rest of the awesome fathers with the ugly brush, this is not my intention, my intent is to begin a change in leadership starting within our own homes
“I do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end”
Abe Lincoln
Some politicians would like us to believe that it takes a village to raise a child, I believe it takes 2 parents not the government. Not every child has the opportunity to have both parents still here on this earth or at home. The great tragedy is the child with 2 parents and at least one not active in their lives or is abusive. The Father who does not pay his bills, support his children that does not go to work and do everything in his power to provide for his children.
“Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will – his personal responsibility”
Albert Sweitzer
One of the toughest parts of being a restaurant manager is when your employees come in to work or don’t because there “babies daddy” has hit them, beat them or somehow threatened them. I never ever regretted the time talking to counseling an employee in need, I hope and pray every day that this tsunami of irresponsible fathers in our country somehow reverses itself somehow moves in the other direction, becomes the exception not the norm.
When you need some help or have an employee, friend family and need resources below are a few lets start at work as well as at home. You are sometimes a restaurant manager and sometimes the restaurant father. Use the resource below add a few of your own.
Not every body has great role models as parents and I am not sure that any man that says he was not scared as hell at some time with the upcoming burden and responsibility of providing for a family is being truethful. I was a mess until you got it, the first moment I actually saw the ultrasound, then held my new- born daughter. My fears were lifted and was replaced with pure joy.
I wish for every father to feel this. If you are by chance in need of direction, guidance, education to learn more about becoming a father keep searching, it will be the hardest and best work of your life.
