Here Fatty Fatty... (pronounced fa-tee fa-tee)

Good morning, at least the last 13 minutes of it. Looking back at my older posts I see I have some catching up to do and was told the other day that to be a blogger I must blog everyday. Malarkey, was my response and also that if anyone was reading our blog and knew us they already know that there will be mis-spellings and perhaps our own creation of punctuation.
Over the past week Jamie and I have been actively seeking the perfect spot for the Fatty. We have seen houses, basements, strip malls and yet no Proper. As proud soon to be parents (restaurant not small person) we do not fear the hunt, nor will we be discouraged is we must practice patience. Yaaaaaar!
Upcoming Events: Jamie is cheffing a farm dinner Wednesday Sept 15 at Poplar Ridge Farms in Waxhaw. I will be pseudo cheffing with full support of our lovely Hollace Stephens. This will be a great affair!
Go to link below to get information about Poplar Ridge Farms and how to purchase tickets.

Tactful ranting.

In this time of economic uncertainty we are seeing restaurants open and close just as quickly. Last night Jamie and I were discussing the most recent closings and not jinxing but observing what may be the next ones up. Everyone knows that we are scouting spots for our beloved Fatty Proper, which is why I personally find it important to keep my ears open. Service industry folks never like to see one of their own go down, no pun intended, but sometimes the warning signs were always there and it's only a matter of time. Constantly baffled by Charlotte's standard of what good food is I am confident that we will do more than please your palate, we'd like to start a trend.
