Congratulations are in order for Frank Bell and his son, Mitchell, who were named this year’s Sweet Peppers Franchisees of the year. I just love their restaurant, and if you haven’t paid them a visit since they opened a couple of years ago, it’s time to go and try one of their incredibly good sandwiches. Being a fan of Reubens, I can highly recommend theirs.
In a news release, Sweet Peppers officials said, “The Bells are a team that operates at a high level and to Sweet Peppers franchise standards. They follow the 10 best practices and lead all franchisees in catering sales. They took a downtown location where we knew there would be great lunch sales, but not sure about nights, and turned that into a positive by marketing Sweet Peppers to the downtown-area businesses.”
At that point, the release continued, the Bells’ catering sales became a little overwhelming.
There’s nothing wrong with that. Just be sure to place your orders early.
A news release came my way recently about a new restaurant concept being tried at The Eatery, a family-owned diner in Fort Worth, Texas. I don’t normally write about restaurants that far from home if I haven’t tried them, but it’s not the restaurant I want to talk about. It’s the new mac-and-cheese bar that captured my attention.
