Query Me This

Greetings – Another sunny day, another opportunity to breathe deep, exhale, and then possibly drink too much. I keep waking up wanting to say, “WOW, Dana wake up, let me tell you about this absurd dream I had last night. The restaurants were all closed, there was a global pandemic, all kinds of businesses and industries were just getting wrecked, and over 100,000 people in the US died from something called Covid.” Except in reality, she is always up before me and sees me bleary eyed and says, “mornin’, want some coffee?” and it sinks in again that the only thing remotely groundhog dazey about any […]

Good Day Good Friends. I must say this sunny and warm weather does have a way of making all things seem somewhat better. It’s still rainy and cold and dark back in parts to the East. ‘Nother week, ‘nother set of rules, expectations, measurements, and variable facts. But we are certainly inching closer to something than further away from it… READ MORE → Click HERE to view the PDF of the newsletter.

Good Day Good Friends. We hope that this email finds you all safe and healthy. We are getting some inklings and sound bites that there will be some opening announcements around May 25th from Governor Polis. Not that we can open on the 25th, just that we will have some guidance. That is exciting. There is also some encouraging news around patio expansions and being able to spill out into the streets for dining, which will create some space and open air. The challenge around all of this is to not fully close streets, as that will create a negative […]

We hope everyone is enjoying this nice weather – and giving some sort of distant thoughts to a dreamy summer experience. An easy picnic with family, a small garage concert with friends, whatever the new paradigm of activities is going to look like as we move forward out of this… READ MORE –> Click HERE to view the PDF of the newsletter.

Good Day Good Friends. Another week down, another 1896.5 things to consider and reconsider. We had a great and successful patio pop-up last week at Jax LoDo, Boulder and FoCo. For all of you who took part, we hope you enjoyed everything. We will be making some changes moving forward as we learn how to do these types of things better—more recipes, instructions, and “how tos.” This coming week we are rocking it out at Lola with a bunch of great items on the menu, which is attached. The deadline for ordering is tomorrow, Wednesday, at noon. Pick up is […]

Hello Our Dear Friends, There’s just a world of hurt with this COVID-19 virus that came on so fast for all of us. One minute we are filling out March Madness brackets, and the next we are calling off college and professional sports seasons, closing schools and campuses, and turning the lights off at Disney. Shocking is putting it mildly, but it’s exactly what we need to do. Know in your hearts and minds that we at Big Red F Restaurant Group are doing all and everything to create a safe and clean environment (as are all of the restaurants […]

Running a business is hard these days. Razor-thin margins, rising costs, financial challenges at every turn. No one ever held a gun to any entrepreneur’s head and forced them to open their own business—it’s a personal decision made stone cold sober or high as a kite. Bitching and whining about how hard it is is like wishing you hadn’t taken up sky diving as the altimeter is dropping–your choice, your outcome. However, as with most everything, it is getting harder and harder to run a business with a mindset towards doing the right thing. Guests will certainly leap onto a […]
