I Promise not to Spam You

I’m setting up a mailing list so I can send out weekly updates. I’m using MailChimp as a email list manager. You can safely/easily unsubscribe at any time. I won’t be sharing your info with anyone.  

I’ll use this mailing list to keep people updated about weekly schedules, menu updates, specials,  events and occasionally will offer discounts and options to pre-order full briskets. I don’t intend to sell brisket by the pound as a standard menu option. Any full brisket orders will have to be placed in advance so I can secure the inventory each week.
