FACEBOOK PAGE.
WE ARE IN THE KITCHEN WITH
TRAVIS.
TH
AND A SHEPHERD THEY ARE
FEATURING AN EARLY BIRD SPECIAL.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE KIDS MENU
FIRST.
WELCOME BACK TO YOU, AND THIS IS
YOUR FIRST TIME.
I AM EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT THE
KIDS MENU.
YOU TAKE YOUR KIDS OUT.
BURGER, CHICKEN TENDERS.
YOU KNOW.
WE ARE STEPPING IT UP A LITTLE
BIT.
FOR SURE.
WE LIKE TO NOT JUST SELL A SHORT
ONE ON THE KIDS.
WE ARE A FAMILY RESTAURANT.
WE LIKE TO TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT WE
DO, WHETHER IT IS FOR THE KIDS
OR A DINING INEXPERIENCE.
IT IS A MONDAY.
WE LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE
DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN.
HERE IS WHAT IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN ALL OF YOUR
CULINARY TRAINING.
SOMETIMES, YOU
CAN MAKE A KID
SOMETHING FANTASTIC AND THEY
WILL NOT EAT IT.
HOW DO YOU PUT YOUR MENU
TOGETHER?
ARE YOUR KIDS PART OF YOUR TEST?
I TEST THINGS WITH MY
DAUGHTER.
WE HAVE FAMILIES OF THE OWNER,
HIS SON, HE IS ONE OF MY
TOUGHEST CRITICS.
HE IS LIKE THIS NEEDS MORE SALT
AND I'M LIKE YOU ARE LIKE 10
YEARS OLD AND YOU ARE ALREADY MY
BOSS.
THEY ARE YOUR TIGER -- TARGET
AUDIENCE.
HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS LOOKING
FOR.
WHEN YOU'RE DOING KIDS MEAL
STUFF, YOU WANT TO BE SIMPLE YET
TASTEFUL.
YOU WILL NOT HEAVILY SEASON
EVERYTHING.
YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR MENU BASED
WITH SIMPLICITY AND GOOD
FLAVORS.
AND A LOT OF CHEESE.
KIDS LOVE CHEESE.
THEY DO.
BUT SOMETIMES THEY DON'T WANT
THE CHEESE TO TOUCH ANYTHING
ELSE.
TELL ME ABOUT SOME OF THE
OFFERINGS THAT YOU HAVE.
OCCUPIED BEFORE THE FOOD COMES.
WE ARE DOING A SHRIMP
FETTUCCINE.
WE NORMALLY SERVE IT WITH A LOT
OF FRUIT.
WE DO A LOT OF LOCAL SOURCING.
WE DO A NICE LITTLE SIDE OF
BARRY'S AND GRAPES AS WELL.
WE OFFER A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT
OTHER SIDES AS FAR AS ASPARAGUS
AND HAND CUT FRENCH FRIES AS
WELL.
WE HAVE A GOOD SELECTION OF WHAT
KIDS ARE KNOWN TO EAT.
THAT IS NOT -- NOTHING THAT IS
TOO FAR OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.
THEY WILL ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE
WITH US.
WE TRY TO BRANCH OUT AND
DO
SOMETHING THAT IS A LITTLE MORE
HEALTHY.
IF YOU ARE COMING OUT TO
DINNER, YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE
CHILD.
YOU ARE NOT MAKING MORE THAN ONE
ENTREE -- TAKING MORE THAN ONE
ENTREE HOME.
I AM MAKING ONE VERSION OF IT
FOR THE KIDS, TAKING DOWN THE
SPICES OR HOLDING OUT BEFORE I
FINISHED IT UP THE WAY MY
HUSBAND AND I LIKE IT.
IT IS TRICKY.
IN SOME RESTAURANTS, YOU
IMMEDIATELY GET THE FEELING, I
DON'T KNOW.
WE CATER TO EVERYBODY.
TO SAY WE ARE FAMILY ORIENTED
IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
EVERYBODY IN THE RESTAURANT IS
VERY PROFAMILY.
YOU CAN GIVE YOUR KIDS MORE
HEALTHY OPTIONS THAN JUST YOUR
TYPICAL CHICKEN TENDERS AND
PIZZAS.
WE DO OFFER THEM.
WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT HATING
ON CHICKEN TENDERS.
AT SOME POINT, KIDS GROW UP AND
THEIR TASTES GROW UP.
MAYBE THIS IS A BRIDGE
TO SOME
OF THE ADULT ITEMS THAT WE ARE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT.
WE ARE ALMOST DONE HERE.
THIS IS SIMPLICITY AT ITS
FINEST.
I HAVE SHRIMP, A LITTLE BIT OF
FETTUCCINE AND HEAVY CREAM.
A LITTLE FRESH PARMESAN CHEESE
AND MOZZARELLA.
VERY LIGHT, VERY EASY, VERY
APPROACHABLE.
YOU DON'T WANT YOUR KIDS OVER
EATING.
YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO GO HOME
HUNGRY.
LIKE EVERY KID A
T EVERY
RESTAURANT, THEY WILL HAVE A
LITTLE BIT OF TAKE ON.
WE ARE NOT SHY ABOUT THAT.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS
GET EVERYTHING THEY CAN AND HAVE
SOMETHING TO TAKE HOME.
THEY DO LIKE PASTA.
THE SHRIMP GIVES THEM THEIR
PROTEIN.
I WOULD ORDER THAT.
COMPUTER CLASSES. --
CONCEPT.COM.
THANKS.
WE ARE BACK IN THE KITCHEN.
EARLIER IN THE SHOW, YOU MADE
ONE OF YOUR KIDS MENU FAVORITES,
THE SHRIMP AND THE FETTUCCINE.
IF YOU ARE DINING OUT WITH YOUR
KIDS, CHANCES ARE YOU ARE GOING
OUT TO DINNER EARLIER THAN YOU
MIGHT HAVE IF YOU WERE GOING OUT
BY YOURSELF.
WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
EARLYBIRD SPECIALS AND THINGS
YOU CAN ORDER THAT WILL BE AS
GOOD AS WHAT YOUR KIDS ARE
EATING.
RIGHT NOW, WE ARE DOING 26
OUNCE SIRLOIN'S --
TWO SIX
ANSWER LINES.
WE HAVE BOMBSHELLS OF OUR OWN.
[LAUGHTER]
STARTING OCTOBER 1, THE
CHESAPEAKE LOCATION WILL OPEN AT
4:00 P.M. TO ACCOMMODATE
EARLYBIRD SPECIALS FROM 4:00
P.M. TO SIX CLOCK P.M.
-- 6:00 P.M.
YOU CAN GET AN ENTIRE FAMILY
MEAL FOR LESS THAN $50.
YOU CAN GET THAT MEAL
DONE
BEFORE SOCCER PRACTICE.
IT SEEMS LIKE AT 7:30,
8:00, IT
IS TOO LATE TO EAT ANYTHING VERY
GOOD ON A SCHOOL NIGHT WHERE YOU
HAVE SPORTS OR SOME KIND OF
ACTIVITY TAKING UP THE DINNER
HOUR.
THIS IS AMAZING.
THE LARGER MEAL BEFORE AND YOU
CAN HAVE A SNACK BEFORE BED.
I REALLY LIKE THAT.
IT'S TOUGH.
NOT A BAD PROBLEM TO HAVE.
IT IS VERY POPULAR.
IF YOU PAIR THAT WITH OUR
TUESDAY NIGHT SCHEDULE WITH HALF
OFF BOTTLES OF WINE AND HALF OFF
GLASSES OF WINE, IT IS A TREAT.
THAT IS AT 4:00.
?
YES.
IT STARTS OCTOBER 1.
CURRENTLY, IT IS 5:00 P.M. FOR
THE EARLYBIRD SPECIAL.
THAT IS STILL CONVENIENT,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GOING TO
THE MOVIE OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT.
I'M NOT OUT THAT LATE ANYMORE.
THEY DON'T TAKE MUCH TIME TO
COOK.
YOU ARE NOT WAITING A LONG TIME.
EVEN THOUGH WE GET DIZZY, WE
STILL CRANK THIS OUT AS
EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.
YOU ARE NOT JUST GETTING
PUSHED OUT THE DOOR.
TELL ME MORE
ABOUT THE
ATMOSPHERE.
WHAT IS IT LIKE IF I COME IN TO
EAT THERE?
OUR STORE IS READ.
LOTS OF RED AND BLACK.
WE HAVE A SINATRA
BOOTH -- WE
HAVE SINATRA BOOTHS.
WE OFFER, ASIDE FROM JUST THE
EARLYBIRD SPECIAL ON
TUESDAYS,
WEDNESDAY IS OUR PRIME RIB
SPECIAL.
YOU GET HALF OFF ON PRIME RIBS
.
THAT ONE IS RESERVATION HEAVY.
I'LL BET.
I RECOMMEND HAVING A
RESERVATION BECAUSE THAT ONE
FILLS UP.
GIVE ME A LANDMARK.
WE ARE ACROSS FROM
A MIDDLE
SCHOOL.
RIGHT PAST WHERE JOHNSTOWN ROAD
IS.
KEEP DRIVING DOWN.
PUT IT IN YOUR FANCY PHONE.
JUST GET THERE AND GET THERE
EARLY AND MAKE THAT RESERVATION,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE INTERESTED
IN TAKING CARE OF THOSE
SPECIALS.
WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT WINE.
WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT FOOD.
WE HAVE NOT TALKED ABOUT
DESSERT.
I AM TRYING TO BE A RESPONSIBLE
JOURNALIST.
WE HAVE GREAT DESSERTS.
WE HAVE A CHEESECAKE.
NOW, WE ARE FEATURING OUR
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE.
WE HAVE A DELICIOUS BANANA
PUDDING AND A KEY LIME
JAR.
I WENT THERE AND ATE AS A KID
ALL THE TIME, AFTER THE
RESTAURANT CLOSED, SHE ASKED DO
YOU WANT ANYTHING?
I SAID I JUST WANT YOUR KEY LIME
RECIPE.
WE KEEP THE MEMORY
ALIVE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF ROTATING STUFF
AS FAR AS SPECIALS.
FRESH COOKIES.
ALL THE TIME.
WE DO A SEA
SALT CHOCOLATE CHIP
COOKIE AND SNICKERDOODLES.
THIS IS SUPER POPULAR.
THIS IS ONE OF OUR HEAVY
HITTERS.
WE GET A LOT OF PEOPLE TO COME
IN.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT
YOU HAVE SHARED TODAY.
WE WILL GET PICTURES OF THAT
GORGEOUS PLATE UP ON OUR SOCIAL
MEDIA LATER TODAY.
IN THE MEANTIME, THERE
ARE TWO
LOCATIONS.
THERE IS ONE IN CHESAPEAKE.
YOU CAN CALL AND MAKE YOUR
RESERVATIONS THERE.
THEY ARE ALSO
AT 1566 ALASKAN
ROAD AT VIRGINIA BEACH.
