How do you feel about 1280, now that it's been open for a couple weeks?

i like it, but thats only because Quarters set such a low bar. Quarters was like, MOE's Tavern.

Haven't been there yet, hoping they will honour the Quarters gift certificates.

They need to do something. Last Saturday I heard there was only 10 people there.

Never been, don't ever plan to. Not my kinda joint.

In that vein of thought..ordered chilli of the menu. It was luke warm, the garlic bread wasn't toasted and the cheese on top of the chilli wasn't melted. But hey, it's Moe's tavern, right? I've worked in restaurant kitchens and seen what happens to food that is returned. For five bucks, they can't afford to have "chef' from Hell's Kitchen inspecting everything that goes out.

All in all, my low expectations were met...will occasionaly eat there but will choose somewhere else 9 times out of 10.

does anyone know if they're accepting meal plans yet?

They are definitely in need of ground "beef"...just report to the kitchen.

they are.

Hey deadpool...have you received those "insider" quarters/1280 end of day receipts that you've bragged about in the past? 1280 on track for a positive return on investment for the $500k we put in?

You mean $375,000.

(a difference of $125,000 which is fairly significant)

That's what was appropriated..as we speak, the SRA & MSU are trying to figure out how they'll bury the $120k cost overruns.

Oh really... I'd like to see the proof behind that statement.

As a matter of fact, it was reported in our meeting this past Sunday that sales virtually every product are up compared to this time last year, with certain drink and food sales up by over 200%.

And as for what was "appropriated", it doesn't matter because that much money was never expended. An allocation does not equal an expenditure, which is a concept that many people can't seem to grasp for some reason.

Will that be in the minutes?
