Uh, I do breakfast and lunch. I'm open from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Fridays are usually a pretty hopping day. Uh, quite a few sandwiches have already gone out, as you guys have seen. I love that. Speaking of breakfast, we got a little sandwich over here. We're gonna do a little walk and talk action here as we head to the back patio here, and I made you a bacon, egg and cheese.

OK, one half's for Kenny, one half is for Kenny, and I'm gonna eat this half. OK, we're gonna do a little, little review maybe, bite into it. Sure. It's a double egg breakfast sandwich. Oh my God. You got yeah, I'm gonna need that. No, I'm gonna need that. Oh my God. And there's bread right here. What is that? It's a Portuguese roll, and they come in fresh every morning from the bakery, and you guys do lunch as well. And then you were talking about the porchetta sandwich that you do in the winter, right? Right. In the fall and winter I do my own porchetta. I bone it, season it, make my own seasoning. It's a Wednesday deal. I'm actually don't tell anybody, but I'll be running. Once a month porquetta during the summertime and I'm due to do one pretty soon. We won't tell anyone. We won't you heard that and talk a little bit about it. I mean, you built this place, right? Talk a little bit about the community, right? That's what that's what makes this place special. Yes, to me it does. I've created a little bit of a community here. Um, when I first started, no one even knew I existed. Uh, most people were making beeline just straight down the road and missing the place completely, saying, oh, I don't see where it is, and I always had flags out, but finally people started to, to stop, um. I I'm losing my train of thought right now. That's all right. I lose my train of thought. No, but I, I, I do a lot of homemade foods. I mean, I enjoy, I really enjoy what I do. The community is a big part of what wakes me up every morning. My customers have become good friends, um. You know, they, they count on me. They trust me, and um, you know, like I said, I really do enjoy. They're like they're an extended family. Well, thank you so much. South on Boswick Cantina and Grill. Come on down and here's the last thing I'm gonna do. This is for you right here, Kenny. Second half. There you go. enjoy. cheers, Mark, wish you were here. I love one of those porchettas.
