Marijuana on the Menu



At first we thought Denver restaurant Ganja Gourmet’s severely limited target demographic—medical marijuana cardholders—would preclude economic success. Then we noticed its pricing—$10 per cannabis-laden brownie, $89 for a pot-laced pizza. And we further learned 90 percent of its business is takeout, meaning cardholders are buying for a much-larger circle of friends. Now we think this could be the most lucrative restaurant concept ever…as long as it remains legal.

Mango Mike's Staff Christmas Party






It's rare when a restaurant staff gathers for a party and good time was not had by all. Last night was no exception.

We had a great party, with some terrific food, (special thanks to our friends at Sysco and Keany for their donations).

Most of the action, as always, was focused around the bar. I'm not a big fan of karoake, but it worked well last night and the staff had a great time showing their Idol stuff.

I narrowed the 259 pictures I took down to these selected ones as a great respresentation of the evening.

IDA...IDA...I DONT KNOW WHERE THE BEACH WENT





Here are some photos from last weeks storm. Ida...Ida...I don't know where the beach went. Even though Ida was a few hundred miles south of the coast...the combination of the low pressure and the high pressure to our north provided us the perfect stage for an unbelievable display of mother nature's wrath. The dune is all but gone north and south of the boardwalk. The jetties are fully exposed, and most of the walkways are hanging over the beach like diving boards. The beach is pretty much shut down with police issuing citations to anyone walking out on their precious walkways that now serve nothing more than another lousy way for the town to make money for the inevitable millions that will have to be spent to repair our "glorious dune." The dune may have saved the boardwalk...but now we have another mess/ money pit with this dune. Last year the town spent another 10 million fixing a small mess from last winter. Many people coining Bethany's Boardwalk "$33 million dollar boardwalk"! Hopefully we are declared a federal emergency and we get some Obama Bucks. Bethany was bad...but other areas up and down the coast were hit just as hard. Houses were lost in Outer banks...and rt 12 just reopened. A huge 3 story barge washed up in va. beach...photos are there under www.swellinfo.com. Power was out for hours...even days is some spots. Most of the businesses were closed...Bethany Blues mostly underwater. Mango's remained open...serving as a hub for public viewing of the conditions. We should have charged $5 a head...we would be rich. The stormy conditions left us late Friday, and inland bay flooding is still present in Bethany and down Route 1. The bridge remains closed. Chelsea and I had quite the experience heading over the bridge on Thursday...as the ocean met the bay and slammed into the middle barracades. I couldn't believe it! We were one of the last cars over the bridge before DelDot shut her down. Needless to say...an awesome storm that many believe was the worst since 62'! I have more photos on my facebook page...CHEERS...ALEX

MANGO'S MEAN WEDDINGS





Another great fall at the beach. As usual, Mango's hosted a number of receptions and rehearsal dinners. I am usually caught up in keeping everyone happy and forget to snap any pics even though I always have my camera in my pocket. Over the course of two weeks, we had 3 rehearsal dinners and a reception for 200 people. Needless to say, I was bound to remember to grab my camera at least once.

These pictures are from the Lord wedding (yes that is really the last name), owners of Lord's Landscaping in Millville This was the first wedding at Mango's that actually closed the entire restaurant because they had such a huge guest list. Mango's staff members Jon, Chelsea, Zach, Val, and Laric did an unbelievable job. White table cloths, martinis, DJ's, and black tie attire transformed Mango's usually tropic atmosphere. Dinner changed from Coco Shrimp to Filet Mignon served with Chilean Sea Bass. Ketchup salt and pepper centerpieces were tossed for a beautiful flower arrangement. Reggae music was ditched for the electric slide and Al Green. I didn't even recognize the restaurant, but we still managed to throw one heck of a party as the newly named couple, Mike and Amy Lord, led a dancing frenzy late into the Mango Night. The night was topped with one of the nicest, most genuine thank you cards I have ever received. A great party for some great people. Looking forward to next wedding season because 2009 was a blast.
