What a crazy week we've had over at Macs Place. The catering business has really picked up and we couldn't be happier. Tomorrow we're going to be throwing our support behind a local business and serving our soon to be famous bison burgers. Be sure and ask for the red onion marmalade and feta cheese. Our new app is getting a lot of attention and we're pleased with how it looks. Customers can put their orders in right from their phone and then swing in and pick it up. No need to stand in the line either. The Prairie scholars will be joining us on Saturday on the patio. It's always exciting when Andy and Jessica Eppler show up. Have you heard of Hopscotch the musical?  Well,we sure have and now we're going to be selling tickets for the event. Come on by and get a nice hearty breakfast and get your tickets to this wonderful production. It will be at the Vance Brand auditorium in January2015. So many cool things happening in Longmont these days.

Lots going on in the diner this week! Catering, catering and more.....catering. From weddings to simple breakfasts, we've done it all this week. Thanks to our friends at Frontiere Natural meats here in Longmont, CO, we got to play around with some Bison....well, the meat, not the animal. It was totally moist and yummy and we will be featuring him on the lunch menu this Friday! According to the USDA:
Bison is a deeper red color before cooking because there is no marbling (white flecks of fat within the meat muscle). Bison is said to have a sweeter, richer flavor than beef and has less fat and fewer calories than beef.

According to USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS),100 grams of raw bison (separable lean only) contains 109 calories and 1.8 grams fat. The same amount of raw beef (separable lean only, Choice grade) contains 291 calories, and 24 grams fat.


I love red meat and am going to enjoy getting more into my diet without the downsides of beef.....though, gotta admit, they both taste delicious!!!

Well, its been an amazing week here in the diner....while Monday is officially our day off, we were here cleaning up! Saturday and Sunday had us all hoppin! Tuesday started slow but quickly took off....a few extra catering orders than expected which is good, but no time for rest. A young boy caught all our attention this week with I would call a "very eclectic palate". He had our Rueben with the grilled sauerkraut!!!! So I'm thinking that his opinion might be a good one to get on our newest member of the menu....its a Pan-fruit-muffin. PFM for short. Even though I am a huge fan of Peyton Manning, it has nothing to do with him....but hey, if he wants to try one....
So the young man like the fruit filled muffins and I think they are a keeper. I enjoy that part of my job the most....customer interaction. We have the best customers in the world here!
