Still can’t believe we’re coming up on 2 weeks being open. What a wild 3.5 years to finally be here 😳 Feels like just yesterday we were staying up till 3am working on pitch decks and coming up with the ideas of @drinkatdanas @nighttrain.bar and @thebluebottleshop which is even crazier to think this was well before @penny.drip was even a thought. And now @bebetter.hospitality is off and doing the damn thing we set out to do. (I sincerely hope to never move a fridge again).

To open another concept is another reminder that this job takes a village. The amount of people that have shown up and volunteered their time to lift boxes, unpack trucks, organize glassware, stitch curtains, build furniture, run to the hardware store for the 4th time that day, buy dinner, or even just to provide some moral support is so amazing, humbling, and inspiring. I would be no where in my life if it wasn’t for the village of people that support me and I will forever be grateful to all of you. 

Most notably thanks to my amazing wife Abbi for finding time to work her own career but also take care of our home (and Archi, of course) and still find time to come help a hand or show up with water to make sure we’re all staying hydrated. Sam, Preston, Jeorgia, and Spencer - there is no one else I would ever want to do this with and you all make me better. Words don’t describe what you each mean to me and you all constantly humble me, push me, and drive us to new heights. To call you business partners feels like an understatement. To Adam - I am so thankful and grateful to have met you and couldn’t imagine doing this project with you leading the kitchen. You have some serious skills not just as a chef but a leader as well and I’m so looking forward to what the future holds. To everyone who took a chance with us and joined the team at these new concepts you all kick so much ass and it is an absolute joy to work with you all every day. 

There are so many more that deserve thanks that cant fit but again, I am forever grateful for all the support, advice, and encouragement over the years. 

To everyone else out there - Come see us on The Landing and come see how amazing Fort Wayne is!
