Fitting into a community on a long term basis is a complicated configuration of gives and takes, offerings and acceptances. Seldom does one get it right the first time, even when the offering is some of the best meals available in St Francis. Jett Fromholtz realized that all his dreams of possibility, honed by practicality, and tested in the real world had to be re-examined. Flatiron Restaurant has offered breakfast and lunch with Asian and Mexican special days and all were excellent and popular at first then customers slacked off. In an environment of high standards, regulations, and work loads, some system must be set up that does not overburden any one variable. So he is stepping back to set up a revised plan.

And the plan sounds wonderful.

First he is reluctantly dropping breakfast for now, and offering dinner. Lunch and dinner will be offered as menu items which will include steak, shrimp and barbecue. At this point daily specials will include steak on Friday and Saturday and on Sunday a buffet featuring fried chicken made with a special recipe first encountered when he was a child, pursued and and acquired in a tale fit for a novella.

But even more mouthwatering is the promise of smoked meat. He has a smoker handed down in his family that needs a little tinkering. It will produce some of the most tender sustenance you will ever eat. I am also looking forward to the shrimp streak. It will be made with 100% shrimp, no filler. Their meals are their art form.

He's not sure when the restaurant will reopen but will be when everything is perfect and ready for St Francis.

He also asked me to point out that just because the parking lot looks full it does not mean the restaurant is full. It's a small parking lot. If it means walking a little further, believe me, it's worth it.
