How did you meet your husband? Fun fact we might not know about your relationship?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0This one is rather interesting. We went to the same high school, and we had some of the same friends & acquaintances but never knew each other. I had seen him around a time or two, but never engaged. Fast forward 15 years later\u2026 We met through mutual friends, messaged on Facebook for a few months until he finally asked me on a date. Best first date I\u2019ve EVER been on, hence why we are married now! Fun Fact: I saw it, I liked it, I cuffed it! I asked him to be my boyfriend on a late Friday night outside the 24hr Diner in Austin. Thankfully he said yes because it\u2019s been such a an amazing ride and it\u2019s still nowhere near over.\u00a0<\/p>\n What is the best thing about being in the restaurant\/bbq\/hospitality\u00a0business?<\/strong>\u00a0\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n People! You meet sooo many different people from all walks of life. We had two of our day one customers at our wedding. We\u2019ve been invited to baby showers, parties and graduation events. I love meeting new people. I love seeing their accomplishments on social media, seeing their kids grow, etc. We are more than just a barbecue restaurant, this is home.\u00a0<\/p>\n The\u00a0restaurant\u00a0business can be one of the most exhausting businesses to be in…Any advice you can give as you are trying to make it all happen every day?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019m thankful to be part of the baking aspect of 2M. I would have to say most of the work definitely falls on Esaul and Joe. However, when the stress creeps up, I love to run, meditate in the shower, and just relax on the couch with our pups!<\/p>\n What do you do for fun?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Fun?? What\u2019s that?! Haha! I love to go on drives. We have the best conversations, find the coolest spots, and meet some pretty cool people in the process. I also love to spend time with my mother. We have our weekly breakfast & shopping dates. I\u2019m a pretty simple woman\u2026 feed me, love me, and make sure you know how to make a good old fashioned!\u00a0<\/p>\n If you were going to give one piece of advice to a young person who wanted to get into the business\u00a0of barbecue or just “food” in general,\u00a0what would that be?<\/strong>\u00a0\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n Dooooo it!!! It\u2019s a tough industry and it\u2019s not for the faint of heart. If you do, make sure you learn from EVERYONE! Take the good and the bad. Learn from it all and incorporate it in your career. If you\u2019re not messing things up, you aren\u2019t learning… \u00a0As long as you have dedication, and drive the sky is the limit!\u00a0<\/p>\n If you could do something outside of the\u00a0restaurant\/hospitality\u00a0business, what would that be?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I can\u2019t quite get away from the industry to be honest. If I had to step out, I\u2019d love to open a cannabis dispensary. Not your typical dispensary. More like a bake shop \/ sandwich shop fully medicated with proper dosages. Educating people on the proper use of cannabis.\u00a0<\/p>\n When you actually get the chance…what do you do for fun\u00a0with girlfriends or\u00a0a “Night Out?”\u00a0<\/strong>\u2028<\/p>\n \u00a0Ohhh, well! Girls night out involves my two sister-in-laws and myself. We love to go to dinner and get a few margaritas and end up at the St. Mary\u2019s strip dancing the night away or listening to karaoke at one of the bars on the strip.\u00a0<\/p>\n When you have guests in town are there any local restaurants, shops, or favorite attractions you like to direct them to?<\/strong><\/p>\n Ohh, favorite restaurants and what I order <\/p>\n GRECIA EEEEATS\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n Naco Mexican Eatery <\/a>(any tortas) \u00a0<\/p>\n Tlahco Mexican Restaurant<\/a> (migas diablas)\u00a0<\/p>\n Supper<\/a> (everything)\u00a0<\/p>\n Pumpers burgers<\/a> (everything)\u00a0<\/p>\n Bandit bbq<\/a> (burger)\u00a0<\/p>\n Laika<\/a> (all cheesecake)\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n GRECIA Shops<\/strong><\/p>\n The Pearl<\/a><\/p>\n La Cantera Shops<\/a><\/p>\n La Villita Arts<\/a><\/p>\n To Do:<\/strong><\/p>\n Natural Bridge Caverns<\/a><\/p>\n Six Flags Fiesta Texas<\/a><\/p>\n
