Th Waitin Is th Hardest Part...

[Mr. Bones]

Well, after much rumination, an procrastination, I finally decided to git me a flattop gas cooker, as mentioned, previous...
Onliest thing is, it ain't gonna be delivered until Friday...

I also ordered some o th requisite things to go along with it, from other sources than F&S, due to considerable price differences, shippin costs, an arrival times.

Still gotta wait til Friday, but at least I gots me some accessories to play with, til then
An th long vigil continues...

[Frozen Smoke]

You're going to have some fun now Mr. Bones Friday will be here before you know it. Sounds like Saturday morning flat top breakfast!

[Mr. Bones]

WooHoo!!!
Now, I can relive me some golden memories; cookin at Th Carriage Lamp Club, Don's Steak House, Sambo's, Country Kitchen, Village Inn, fer ~$1-$2/hr!!! :

Havin th Wheel stacked 3-5 deep with tickets, a restaurant fulla drunks what jus left th bars, etc.

(Decades later I landed cookin jobs with a more Princely wage of $6-$10/hr, feedin 1600-2500 mouths a shift.)

All kiddin aside, flattops is an indispensible tool to have, once ya have used em, sufficient, like.!

Speaking of golden memories, you haven't lived until you have a wheel full of tickets and a school bus pulls in.

[Mr. Bones]

gcdmd LOL Heard dat; we usedta git th Greyhounds, durin th after 0200 Drunk Rush!
Good Times, eh, Amigo!

[gcdmd]

Mr. Bones Good times, true, but I don't want to repeat them. BTW, the founder of Sambo's was once a patient of mine, many years ago and after my short order cooking days (at least for pay) were over. He was very personable and easy going.

[FishTalesNC]

Congrats! And thanks for the trip in the way back machine - I had completely forgotten about Sambo’s... wow.

[Mr. Bones]

My Distinct Pleasure, Brother!
Oh, I can go back further than alla that

[Fire Art]

Dose the new toy ever end enjoy

[Dadof3Illinois]

Your going to love it!!! I’ve had mine maybe a month or so and work hasn’t allowed me to cook much. The half dozen times I’ve used it I can see a bright future in our relationship...ha.
Cingrats!!

[Spinaker]

Congrats Bones. Use the Crisbees well!

[Mr. Bones]

Spinaker, is Crisbees what ya did from first, or did ya use any flax oil, grapeseed, etc...?
Thanks, Brother!
I got Crisbees, Larbees, Flax oil, Shortenin, bacon grease on hand, at present!

[Spinaker]

Bones, I always start with Flax. Then go on from there. Mr. Bones

[Mr. Bones]

Thanks, Spinaker ! That was my first intuition, as well...

[Steve B]

Bones. No doubt you just hit the jackpot.
Take your time seasoning her up and you’ll be golden. 👍👊💪👍

[Attjack]

You're going to like that griddle. I'm sure of it. I used my poor man's griddle tonight for some fish tacos.

[allsid]

Nothing wrong with this setup Attjack !

[jgreen]

Man I am jealous. Congratulations Bones, bet you will love that. I may have to make one appear some time over the summer.

[Sweaty Paul]

Congratulations! The wait will be worth it.

[Mudkat]

Great pickup Bones! RIP Tom Petty!

[MeatMonster]

Sometimes even express delivery ain't enough! Make sure and share pics of what your produc'n brother!!

[Steve R.]

Dang it, that MCS of mine is acting up again! We have one of those Fast Track It auction warehouses here in town that frequently has stuff like this. To make matters worse, a buddy of mine bought one of the stainless steel Blackstone models there awhile back for pennies on the dollar, and I can't stop looking at it.

[teachman82]

Heck yeah! You'll love it!
