Goodbye to the Snack Shack!

Well, the Snack Shack has officially closed for the season.  It's a little bitter-sweet; one one hand, the Owners are returning from their summer homes and they love Randy's cooking.  It's always gratifying to cook for people who appreciate it.  On the other hand, when management announced a few weeks ago that the Shack would close at the end of October, we started making plans about what we would do with the extra time.  We have been working 4-5 days a week since we arrived.  That's not a problem because we asked for the Snack Shack.  But since they don't run the Shack during the winter, we are ready to relax.  We have some things to do around the RV (aways!!), plus more biking, crafts, sightseeing -  we are looking forward to this.

So goodbye to the Snack Shack!  We served some great food to some great people.  One lady wants Chicken Salad every weekend, and although we can't do that, she never fails to ask for it!

Our South Carolina Burger was a big hit; people told us that after enjoying this big boy, they could skip dinner!

And how about a BLT where you can really taste the bacon? 

Randy had to unpack the big meat slicer to make his Steak Sandwich, but it was worth it because we sold out.

We sold out of most of our weekend specials, including the Meatloaf Sandwich.  I didn't even get a picture of that; we sold all 6 pounds in an hour on Friday!  

But what we are most famous for is, in the words of our customers: "The best burger on the island!"

And here's the man behind the food, Randy!  He had everything planned for the closing; we went through the last of the burgers, steak sandwiches, fries and chips. 

Notice the spotless kitchen; it wasn't anything like that when we arrived.  Before he opened it he worked a solid week to get it in shape, and has worked every week since to keep it that way.
