WEBVTT 00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:08.900 Now I love a good diner and we have a ton of 00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:11.359 them in the Windsor -Essex County area but my 00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.419 favorite by far is the Breakfast Guyz diner and 00:00:15.419 --> 00:00:17.739 today I have one of the owners Shivani Babbar. 00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:21.429 So nice to see you. Thank you, Tracy. It's wonderful 00:00:21.429 --> 00:00:23.829 to see you today, too. Have you hit your one 00:00:23.829 --> 00:00:28.089 year anniversary yet? Oh, yes, we have. It's 00:00:28.089 --> 00:00:32.210 been almost now 15 months. We are 15, 15 months 00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:37.899 young. And the food is beyond amazing. And I'm 00:00:37.899 --> 00:00:39.439 not just saying that because you're on here. 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.479 You've seen me come in for takeout and it's really 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.600 good food. I love it. Thank you. Appreciate that. 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.039 That's much that's that's what we want to hear 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:49.759 from our community and that's what we are here 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.140 for. Trying to make it best every day. And she 00:00:53.140 --> 00:00:56.420 was nice enough to make me a Hawaiian mimosa. 00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.020 And she has the virgin mimosa. So you can get 00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:03.500 that as well. which is amazing and I have to 00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:10.159 try a sip here. Oh my gosh that is so good. Now 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:14.519 how long have you guys been in Windsor? So it 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.799 all began I think with COVID. It was in 2020 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.659 we came in to Windsor. guy behind the scene for 00:01:23.659 --> 00:01:27.560 the breakfast guyz, he moved in. And that's when 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.659 we decided as a family to move in here. And it's 00:01:31.659 --> 00:01:34.439 been almost five years now and Windsor is home. 00:01:34.939 --> 00:01:39.099 And this idea popped up for it's been there for 00:01:39.099 --> 00:01:42.760 a long time, consciously, unconsciously, because 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.620 me and my husband, Arun, we have been into hospitality 00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:50.569 for Ever since we've learned anything, that's 00:01:50.569 --> 00:01:53.090 what we have learned. So we thought one day we 00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:56.569 want to open something where we get a chance 00:01:56.569 --> 00:01:59.969 to give back to community, put our mind and soul 00:01:59.969 --> 00:02:03.569 into it and do something which we love and that's 00:02:03.569 --> 00:02:06.609 cooking and serving and getting to know people 00:02:06.609 --> 00:02:09.409 and, you know, being a part of the community 00:02:09.409 --> 00:02:14.069 there. So. That's how this idea of a breakfast 00:02:14.069 --> 00:02:17.569 place came in. And since we have a family, like 00:02:17.569 --> 00:02:21.009 we have two boys, so we thought we need to create 00:02:21.009 --> 00:02:24.469 a balanced atmosphere of work and kind of family 00:02:24.469 --> 00:02:28.969 because hospitality is a little bit tricky there, 00:02:29.229 --> 00:02:32.090 but keeping that balance in, people working hard 00:02:32.090 --> 00:02:35.819 day and night when everybody's partying. restaurants, 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.740 banquets, and all those kind of places have to 00:02:38.740 --> 00:02:41.520 work in. So we thought breakfast would be an 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.000 option where people still want it every day. 00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:47.180 That's something that kickstarts their day and 00:02:47.180 --> 00:02:52.340 that gives us an array of opportunity to showcase 00:02:52.340 --> 00:02:55.780 different kind of foods there, get them to eat 00:02:55.780 --> 00:02:59.020 not just breakfast, brunch, some lunch options. 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.219 We do have options where we, certain days we're 00:03:02.219 --> 00:03:05.319 open for dinners as well. It kind of gives us 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.659 a canvas to paint, right? It's like our canvas 00:03:08.659 --> 00:03:11.599 to paint are whatever we have learned, what people 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.719 are liking, we hear back from them, try and create 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.460 and present the creations there. And at the same 00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:20.360 time, we get to take a little bit time off where 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.699 we go and spend time with our boys, take them 00:03:22.699 --> 00:03:25.139 out, do things with them. So kind of creating 00:03:25.139 --> 00:03:27.699 that balance out there. You serve breakfast, 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.659 lunch, and dinner. All day long. So if I want 00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:33.120 to come in and have fish and chips for breakfast, 00:03:33.379 --> 00:03:36.180 I can have it. All means. Which is nice. I mean, 00:03:36.340 --> 00:03:39.360 I take it in a way where I have something on 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.580 my menu, my kitchen is open, my grill is on. 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.319 I have no reason to say a no to anything that's 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.120 on my menu. So you are coming from a night shift. 00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:51.620 That's what I got a feedback from a lot of people. 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.780 For them, that breakfast is actually a dinner. 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.199 because they're going home from a night shift 00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.900 and they want to eat a burger and eight o 'clock, 00:03:59.979 --> 00:04:02.120 no place is going to serve them burger. It's 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.599 true. I mean, like, I don't work night shifts, 00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:06.780 but there's just some days where I don't feel 00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:09.379 like breakfast. I want a burger. Absolutely. 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.020 And same way, I read a very nice saying somewhere. 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.540 It's always somewhere at 8 a .m. Yes. Then why 00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:20.600 not eat breakfast at six o 'clock in the evening? 00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:25.230 Like, it's 8 a .m. somewhere. So for that concept, 00:04:25.410 --> 00:04:27.410 we're like, okay, you want to come in for a breakfast 00:04:27.410 --> 00:04:30.230 later in the evening? By all means, we are ready 00:04:30.230 --> 00:04:33.850 to serve you. Which is nice. Now, you are open 00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:36.110 seven days a week, which is awesome because a 00:04:36.110 --> 00:04:39.230 lot of small businesses are closed on Mondays. 00:04:39.649 --> 00:04:42.829 And it's Thursday, Friday, Saturday, you're open 00:04:42.829 --> 00:04:46.629 until eight? Yes. So we initially, mostly we 00:04:46.629 --> 00:04:49.230 try and do it through the summer, but we would 00:04:49.230 --> 00:04:52.129 like to see if people want and people want to 00:04:52.129 --> 00:04:55.490 come in. We'll keep it steadily like that. So 00:04:55.490 --> 00:04:59.800 Thursday until Saturday, it's eight to. and everything 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.220 is available all day, whatever you like from 00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:04.779 our menu. We do have a little sneak dinner menu 00:05:04.779 --> 00:05:09.759 as well. Little neat, small selection from every 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.480 end, like whether it's your fish, fish and chips, 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.120 or wings, or a bit of steak. If you like a little 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.000 bit of fresh mashed potatoes out there, we have 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.339 everything. Fresh mashed potatoes? Yeah. Wow. 00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:25.939 So that's something on, yeah, so something on 00:05:25.939 --> 00:05:28.319 the menu there a little bit. And that's only 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.720 available for dinner, though. So you can come 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.740 in for that. Or any day, Monday through Sunday, 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.040 all days, we are there waiting for you. I understand 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.720 with the small businesses, everybody needs a 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.379 break. And that's why most of the businesses 00:05:42.379 --> 00:05:45.819 are closed on Monday. But eventually, we have 00:05:45.819 --> 00:05:49.240 a great team here. And they are all geared up 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.480 to work. So we do take a little break. But they 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.120 are still on. I call them my minions. Hey, we 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.699 all have to have a few minions. Yes, so we have 00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:01.139 fantastic minions working with us in the team. 00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:04.720 So if we take a little sit back, they come in 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.930 and then they're... on there like and it's fantastic 00:06:08.930 --> 00:06:11.410 you know they they feel good and we feel good 00:06:11.410 --> 00:06:15.689 too like it flows yeah I like that and I know 00:06:15.689 --> 00:06:21.189 you have a huge variety of options for vegan 00:06:21.189 --> 00:06:24.850 vegetarian halal and gluten -free oh absolutely 00:06:24.850 --> 00:06:29.250 absolutely it was a little difficult to convince 00:06:29.250 --> 00:06:34.449 our chef back there initially He's not wrong. 00:06:34.569 --> 00:06:37.769 We are a small business small kitchen to begin 00:06:37.769 --> 00:06:41.189 with there are bigger challenges, but then we 00:06:41.189 --> 00:06:44.750 saw that Community is growing so fast out there 00:06:44.750 --> 00:06:48.230 with so many variances people not just because 00:06:48.230 --> 00:06:51.069 they Just vegan or vegetarian, but there's so 00:06:51.069 --> 00:06:53.430 many restrictions and diets because of health 00:06:53.430 --> 00:06:56.730 reasons or choices so we thought why not have 00:06:56.730 --> 00:06:59.910 a place which is inclusive for everybody like 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.339 There would be places where you would go in, 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.459 you could eat only vegan meal, and then maybe 00:07:06.459 --> 00:07:09.240 if I'm a carnivore, I don't like it. Or there 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.779 could be places if I'm going in for breakfast, 00:07:13.459 --> 00:07:15.360 vegans and vegetarians are not left with much 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.800 other than potatoes and lettuce to eat. So why 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.360 not give a proper meal for everybody so that 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.759 the whole family or friends or group of people, 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.720 they could come in, enjoy. on the same table 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.720 and relish the food as much as they relish their 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.899 memories and thoughts and talks. So for that 00:07:35.899 --> 00:07:38.139 reason, we were like, OK, let's get going on 00:07:38.139 --> 00:07:40.680 that. And we are still expanding that options 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.920 every time. We come across something new. We 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.939 bring it over on the table. Whether it's pancakes 00:07:47.939 --> 00:07:51.120 or whether it's French toast or any of our skillets, 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.720 we all have vegan version, vegetarian version 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:57.100 for everything. And halal, of course, too. Now, 00:07:57.100 --> 00:08:02.500 I know for the vegan burgers, they have your 00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:04.800 Beyond Meat. We do have Beyond Meat. But then 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:11.329 that other one. Oh my gosh. What was in that? 00:08:11.829 --> 00:08:17.089 That's a secret recipe. Oh, it was amazing. One 00:08:17.089 --> 00:08:21.230 is a standard Beyond Meat for everybody who likes 00:08:21.230 --> 00:08:25.529 that. But we do have our own vegan patty. And 00:08:25.529 --> 00:08:28.449 it's made right in -house. For that matter, we 00:08:28.449 --> 00:08:30.769 have a lot of things. We do our own pierogies. 00:08:31.209 --> 00:08:35.610 We do our own mac and cheese arcini balls. So 00:08:35.610 --> 00:08:39.750 that's made in... All our potatoes are done right 00:08:39.750 --> 00:08:42.929 in here in -house. You have a different two varieties 00:08:42.929 --> 00:08:45.909 for breakfast. So it's not like we just pull 00:08:45.909 --> 00:08:49.470 it out from packet and fry it. It's all on grill. 00:08:50.129 --> 00:08:53.769 So you can enjoy those real flavors and natural 00:08:53.769 --> 00:08:57.429 taste of the food. And we believe that if there 00:08:57.429 --> 00:08:59.389 is something that's coming out from this kitchen, 00:08:59.850 --> 00:09:03.929 if I cannot eat or if anybody from us as a team... 00:09:04.299 --> 00:09:07.940 cannot eat, it shouldn't be going out. It has 00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:10.399 to be presentable. We eat with our eyes first. 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.600 And then, of course, the taste has to stick here. 00:09:14.620 --> 00:09:18.279 So that concept is still, we're trying to keep 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.360 that alive and we're trying to follow that rule 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.399 there. So we're trying to do as much as we can 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:28.419 in the limitations of space and everything. I 00:09:28.419 --> 00:09:32.940 have to say the skillets. Usually, when you get 00:09:32.940 --> 00:09:36.620 a skillet, it's mostly home fries and then your 00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:39.120 meats or vegetables, whatever's on it, and then 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.980 the eggs on top. I like the fact that... You 00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:45.000 don't have like piles and piles of potatoes. 00:09:45.779 --> 00:09:48.820 It is really good. And then I also had the red 00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:52.340 velvet pancakes. Those were, they were to die 00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:57.419 for. I hope it's not getting the taste back in 00:09:57.419 --> 00:09:59.299 your mouth there, right? Oh, I'm thinking about, 00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:02.559 no, I'm just looking here going, they have eggs, 00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:05.559 Benedict, chicken, and waffles. I have not tried 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.000 them yet because that's something you can't. 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.899 She has to come back for that and dine here and 00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:13.220 have that. I'm dying for that. That's a day where 00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:15.460 I'm just going to eat that and then go home and 00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:18.440 relax. Absolutely. You don't need to work after 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.820 that. That's one meal, I would say. We started 00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:27.179 off just as a special because I was browsing 00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:29.840 and I was seeing like, you know, me and Arun, 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.659 we keep... brainstorming for what we can bring 00:10:32.659 --> 00:10:36.179 new to the table and stuff like that so because 00:10:36.179 --> 00:10:38.440 we have a lot of regulars coming in here and 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.740 they love to see something different like this 00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:45.039 version of mimosa you will go drink a mimosa 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.610 with orange juice and champagne most of the places. 00:10:48.470 --> 00:10:50.490 But okay, the weather is changing. Let's get 00:10:50.490 --> 00:10:53.289 some flavor in kicking in there. It's a summer 00:10:53.289 --> 00:10:56.590 in here. Yeah, so that's how it came in. So those 00:10:56.590 --> 00:10:59.250 waffles and chicken started off I think last 00:10:59.250 --> 00:11:04.169 year in May as a special and they never went 00:11:04.169 --> 00:11:07.649 back. Because they were here for staying, and 00:11:07.649 --> 00:11:12.149 people loved them. Phenomenally, they loved them. 00:11:12.730 --> 00:11:16.429 I'm not just saying because we make it, but trust 00:11:16.429 --> 00:11:20.029 me, anybody who's ever had them has never said 00:11:20.029 --> 00:11:23.590 that, no, this is not for me. I know Jake made 00:11:23.590 --> 00:11:26.490 a waikiji. He told me I had to come in and try 00:11:26.490 --> 00:11:30.820 them. That's one of his favorites. And I think 00:11:30.820 --> 00:11:32.840 he came last time here, he's ordering the same 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:34.899 thing, his friends are ordering, I'm like, do 00:11:34.899 --> 00:11:36.559 you guys don't want any variety? No, we don't 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.840 want to fight over our waffles, so we're having 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:43.179 our own, so. That's how he was like, we'll have 00:11:43.179 --> 00:11:45.419 our own waffles, we don't want to fight on over 00:11:45.419 --> 00:11:49.419 it. But it's nice, only 15 months and you guys 00:11:49.419 --> 00:11:52.279 are busy, like I come in here during the week. 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.840 And the tables are packed. And we're talking 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:59.340 like 10, 11 o 'clock in the morning and just 00:11:59.340 --> 00:12:02.559 busy. That's great for a restaurant. I think 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.080 the Windsor community has accepted us with open 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.639 arms and we are blessed. That's what I would 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.779 say. And we are making our efforts and they are 00:12:10.779 --> 00:12:16.500 loving our efforts. As said by the 2025 Consumer 00:12:16.500 --> 00:12:19.980 Choice Award for the Breakfast Guys for restaurants. 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.620 which is really good. Thank you. And trust me, 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.840 that award came from all the love we have got 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.659 from our community. That's based on the popularity 00:12:28.659 --> 00:12:32.519 and the views and how people are liking us. And 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.000 it's totally based on that. So it's their award 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.000 for us. So thank you. And it puts us in a place 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.779 for more responsibility. Yeah. We have to keep 00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:42.779 up that work. Well, that's a good thing, though. 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.559 Yeah. We're trying. We're trying for that. Definitely. 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:50.559 Oh, yeah. And you also have you. events here? 00:12:50.899 --> 00:12:54.100 Oh absolutely so like I said usually we're open 00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:58.639 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday so that's one 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.039 of the options like we do paint nights if you 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.080 want to do a bingo we collaborate if you have 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.690 something in mind come up People come up with 00:13:06.690 --> 00:13:09.669 ideas to us. We've done high teas before, like, 00:13:09.669 --> 00:13:12.009 you know, little buffets. And even during the 00:13:12.009 --> 00:13:14.710 day, if you have any celebration, we can club 00:13:14.710 --> 00:13:17.629 in for that. And there are a lot of summer events 00:13:17.629 --> 00:13:20.950 coming around in the city, so we are trying to 00:13:20.950 --> 00:13:25.289 collaborate with them to be there, like, you 00:13:25.289 --> 00:13:28.580 know. helping them host breakfasts or lunches 00:13:28.580 --> 00:13:31.159 or dinners for their teams and stuff like that. 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.440 We've got a lot of love from Toronto University. 00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:38.120 They have their hockey team that comes here every 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.460 year, and last year too and this year too. So 00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:44.120 they love our breakfast. So whenever they're 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.899 coming here, it's all booked for them. They eat 00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:49.080 and then sometimes when they're staying in the 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:52.120 hotels, they take the meals there. So that kind 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.230 of collaboration we are always open for. Open 00:13:56.230 --> 00:13:59.330 for ideas. Well, you guys came from the Toronto 00:13:59.330 --> 00:14:02.049 area before you came here. Yes. Did you guys 00:14:02.049 --> 00:14:05.769 work in hospitality there as well? Yes, we did. 00:14:06.169 --> 00:14:09.500 So I have done my hotel management back. from 00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:13.259 the country where I am. And I've worked as chef 00:14:13.259 --> 00:14:17.379 for almost 10 years. And then I have been teaching 00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:21.259 in colleges, culinary and hospitality. And I've 00:14:21.259 --> 00:14:24.519 done nutrition. I went to George Brown. I put 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.399 that feather there that, OK, I want to learn 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.659 something more. And with senior homes and stuff 00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:34.019 like that. And our chef, Arun, he has been in 00:14:34.019 --> 00:14:37.779 hospitality ever since dinosaurs were there. 00:14:38.950 --> 00:14:43.190 He's been there for almost 25 years, 30 years. 00:14:43.269 --> 00:14:46.809 It's been that he's learned culinary and then 00:14:46.809 --> 00:14:48.990 he's worked with different companies, different 00:14:48.990 --> 00:14:53.169 places, golf courses, Indian restaurants. So 00:14:53.169 --> 00:14:56.950 this baby has come out of passion. For sure, 00:14:57.110 --> 00:15:01.250 it sounds like it. So we want to keep that passion 00:15:01.250 --> 00:15:04.759 going. Oh, I can see it going for a long time. 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:06.679 In fact, I think you might need a bigger space 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.659 if it keeps growing. Hopefully, hopefully. Let's 00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:12.720 keep our fingers crossed. Now, can people rent 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:16.740 out this as an event place as well? We are open 00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:19.980 to that opportunity, definitely. We haven't rented 00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:22.899 so far, but if anything comes up, we are always 00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:26.240 open to that. In the best way, however we can 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.799 serve them or connect and collaborate with them, 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.259 we are always open to that. Now, do you have 00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:34.620 a favorite dish? Mm, that's a hard one. I know. 00:15:35.779 --> 00:15:39.480 I can never decide if I have to have lunch here. 00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:41.740 It's very hard for me. I have to start thinking 00:15:41.740 --> 00:15:45.320 right from the morning. What should I have? But 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.120 I would say my baguette, like the club sandwich. 00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:53.620 It's on baguette, and it's not a traditional 00:15:53.620 --> 00:15:57.360 bread sandwich. So I think that's one of my personal 00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:00.600 favorites. And the hash browns with that, not 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.049 the fries. Now, see, it's not just me that has 00:16:04.049 --> 00:16:08.450 a hard time with menus. And it's funny because 00:16:08.450 --> 00:16:10.870 when people are, and I do that in other restaurants 00:16:10.870 --> 00:16:13.070 all the time, when I see somebody else's plate 00:16:13.070 --> 00:16:16.090 going, I'm like, I want this one, maybe this 00:16:16.090 --> 00:16:19.230 one, right? So that's one kind of thing that. 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.620 you can never be it can never be enough like 00:16:21.620 --> 00:16:24.639 I had this no I should have had that one so next 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.720 time yeah so that's one thing we can never be 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:29.860 you know sure off what's on the menu that I want 00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:33.340 to have today I'm the same way if I go into a 00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:35.899 place and I look at the menu it's like okay everything 00:16:35.899 --> 00:16:38.740 looks good drives my husband nuts but I will 00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:40.899 say to the waitress what's your favorite thing 00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:44.889 on the menu because everything looks good and 00:16:44.889 --> 00:16:46.830 you know what I tell people sometimes they come 00:16:46.830 --> 00:16:49.450 in and they'll be like oh my god you have a huge 00:16:49.450 --> 00:16:51.850 menu I said we want to give you enough reasons 00:16:51.850 --> 00:16:56.549 to come back so we have almost I think Combining 00:16:56.549 --> 00:16:59.049 everything, we have about 80, 90 different things 00:16:59.049 --> 00:17:02.649 on the menu. So you have 90 times to try before 00:17:02.649 --> 00:17:05.710 you go back to your first choice. So we don't 00:17:05.710 --> 00:17:08.049 want to lose you there. So you keep coming and 00:17:08.049 --> 00:17:11.109 try every time something new and different. Now, 00:17:11.349 --> 00:17:13.769 is there anything new that you're going to be 00:17:13.769 --> 00:17:17.829 adding to the menu? We actually just updated 00:17:17.829 --> 00:17:23.059 our menu recently. First year, we took the things, 00:17:23.099 --> 00:17:26.259 and then we saw what's going more popular, what's 00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:29.680 the feedback from our patrons and what they like. 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.660 Like, we just added a dish called Brian's Loaded 00:17:34.660 --> 00:17:37.220 Avocado Toast. I don't know if you noticed online. 00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:40.859 So it's one of our patrons who's been coming 00:17:40.859 --> 00:17:43.960 right from day one to us. And he always likes, 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:46.680 you know, let's add this. It's like, Brian, this 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.180 looks very interesting. Let's do this on our 00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:51.359 menu. And he was like, really? You're going to 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.819 put it on my name? I was like, yes. We'll dedicate 00:17:53.819 --> 00:17:56.740 this to you. And so we just added that there. 00:17:57.099 --> 00:17:59.740 And it's working good. People are loving that, 00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:01.799 that they don't have to think, OK, we'll take 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.000 the Brian's loaded avocado mix. So yeah, but 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:08.200 we try and keep doing brainstorming. We see what 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.579 people like. And we do monthly specials. So we 00:18:11.579 --> 00:18:14.380 do bring in new stuff every month. You'll see 00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:16.630 one or two different. things popping up, whether 00:18:16.630 --> 00:18:20.549 it's a drink, dessert, or a meal item, and then 00:18:20.549 --> 00:18:23.529 that way they get to try something new, what's 00:18:23.529 --> 00:18:26.509 not on the menu, but a featured item, so. Do 00:18:26.509 --> 00:18:28.869 you guys know what your July specials will be 00:18:28.869 --> 00:18:33.069 at? For the July, we are... We're planning to 00:18:33.069 --> 00:18:36.269 do something nice there. It's not just a menu 00:18:36.269 --> 00:18:39.349 item. I don't know if I should be mentioning 00:18:39.349 --> 00:18:42.569 it yet. Well, we're not coming out until probably 00:18:42.569 --> 00:18:46.869 Canada Day, so it'll be okay. We're planning 00:18:46.869 --> 00:18:51.509 to do some heighties. So we're planning to do 00:18:51.509 --> 00:18:54.210 some kind of... tea parties, especially when 00:18:54.210 --> 00:18:56.130 we're open in the evening. So we're going to 00:18:56.130 --> 00:19:00.529 be picking one or two days a week. And we want 00:19:00.529 --> 00:19:03.609 to be opening the tickets. You can pre -book 00:19:03.609 --> 00:19:08.730 your spot and enjoy a high tea, where you would 00:19:08.730 --> 00:19:11.809 be more like British kind of high tea. Oh, OK. 00:19:12.089 --> 00:19:14.859 With little sandwiches. Beautiful snack. and 00:19:14.859 --> 00:19:18.059 sandwich platter and some tea to enjoy with that. 00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:20.839 We'd have some other optional drinks like mimosas 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.299 and things with that. So that's something special 00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:26.799 we were planning to launch for tonight. And do 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.779 you dress all fancy for that? That's up to them. 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.339 I leave that because it's kind of a combination 00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:38.170 of a traditional tea party and a fusion of what 00:19:38.170 --> 00:19:43.089 are ambiances. So it might not be exactly like 00:19:43.089 --> 00:19:45.170 a... It'd be fun, though. But it's going to be 00:19:45.170 --> 00:19:47.849 something fun, which you might not... Because 00:19:47.849 --> 00:19:50.950 there are not too many places doing high teas. 00:19:51.250 --> 00:19:53.490 So I don't want to call it a classic high tea, 00:19:53.569 --> 00:19:56.609 but more like a tea party, twilight tea party. 00:19:56.750 --> 00:19:58.809 I think we need it because we used to have a 00:19:58.809 --> 00:20:02.069 tea house and it's sadly no longer here. So it's 00:20:02.069 --> 00:20:04.839 nice to have a place to have tea again. Yeah, 00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:07.079 so we want to experiment. We'll have at least 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:08.880 about 10 different kind of teas. We're going 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.339 to try to keep there. That gives you a variety 00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:14.519 and choice. And then some desserts made in -house 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:19.339 and some sandwiches that go with that. So it's 00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:22.339 going to be something to look forward to. I mean, 00:20:22.339 --> 00:20:25.299 you'll enjoy coming in with nice sun out there, 00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:29.640 and it'll be nice. Oh, I can't wait. Now I'm 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:32.480 so excited. I think we need to have high tea 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:36.900 for my birthday. Benzie Puppy It's in July. Oh, 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.119 okay.
