Food As A Business

I know it’s been a while. I have missed you. And, I promise to try harder, because I really like the thing we have going on here.

Things have been a little more hectic than normal around the Austin Food Journal head quarters. Cruising into our sixth year posting about eating and drinking in this fine town of ours, the last two weeks have shown the largest gap since our inception. I’m eager to back to our little daily chats.

Giving birth is never easy. Especially when it weighs 3500 pounds. A little thing that we like to call Bola Pizza has been monopolizing our time of late. With any new venture there is a learning curve, systems to be setup and the unforeseen pitfalls. I will be starting a new thread to share my thoughts on the matter in hops of getting advice, sharing misery or giving some insight to someone who is thinking about doing the same. Stay tuned.

I would like to take a moment to thank a few people who helped light our pizza catering roman candle: Stefanie Distefano who gave a face to the taste by creating the signature look of our oven. Bill Bowers for supplying transportation, combustible consumables (firewood). Carla Crownover for catching anything that was about to fall through the cracks (and a few things that did). Sean Robinson for falling out of the New York sky directly into our lap (pictured above). All of our family, friends, neighbors, tasters and the Austin restaurant and foodie community.
