BURLINGTON, ON
The radio forecast 21 degrees – did we reach that level?
Wonderful weather – the hospitality people are just loving it – especially those with patios.
Mark Cole, part of the Joe Dogs management team takes advantage of the great weather to have lunch on the patio. Its been a great couple of months for Joe Dogs.
Mark Cole of Joe Dogs – the people who sell us beer when our work day is done, report that they had a “fabulous baseball season and are really liking the way the weather has held.”
“It doesn’t get better than this” Mark added as he sat in the sun working his cell phone and tapping numbers into a spreadsheet on his tablet.
What has the phenomenal sports season done for the hospitality people? Exceptional – so much so that when Liberal Pam Damoff won the Oakville North Burlington seat they planned on a victory party and booked space at the Tin Cup on Upper Middle Road. There was a baseball game on that night – all they got was a little space in a corner – most people are reported to have watched the ball game.
Many of the hospitality destinations are partnering with the Art Gallery of Burlington for their annual Soup Bowl fund raising event.
Each Soup Bowl luncheon attendee gets to choose the bowl they want to slurp from and then get to take the bowl home with them. This event has sold out in the past.
The Gazette has asked those making the soup if they would share their recipes – several have stepped forward. The event runs from the 19th to the 22nd of November. Tickets here.
Watch for the recipes.
