At this point I have worked for Edwards a little over a year (nearing 1.5) and I am still amazed at what we do and what comes to us; this past week was filled with events that our food truck, the Dashboard Diner, was a part of. The beginning of the week started fairly normal for us, and Thursday we attended the farmers' market at the Statehouse - which is always a great time! Friday began the true madness, with our first shift for GEN CON 2013!
We were grateful to the Westin Hotel for inviting us to be a part of this huge weekend; we got to see some awesome costumes on our first shift:
Friday night we were set up on Capital Street in front of the convention center, and it turned out to be a beautiful night! Saturday morning we found ourselves invited back up to Fanimation in Zionsville for their annual celebration and car show!
It was a great time, with some awesome cars and bicycles, and we look forward to getting invited back again next year!
Saturday night found us back at the Westin for the PM shift; this was our last shift for GEN CON 2013, and we were visited by a very special person:
We had a lot of fun blasting the original 1960s theme song for them! We called it a night for GEN CON a little earlier than normal, electing to give our team a chance to catch their breath. Sunday morning, we traveled out to Avon for their annual World War II Memorial Car Show, which is always fun!
Though it was an early morning, we had a lot of fun and enjoyed getting to see the cars. That was the end of the week for the Dashboard Diner and its team, and we were all grateful to get a day of rest!
We were equally busy at the restaurant this week as well - though competing with the State Fair can be interesting! We featured State Fair brand corn dogs all this week (and probably will for awhile) and they seemed to be a huge hit!
The biggest news that came through on the restaurant this week was the airing of the Indianapolis episode of Fandemonium! Though we didn't get our name dropped, we had a lot of fun working with Adam Richman again and loved the looks of surprise we got as we brought out our biggest tenderloin yet!
We were pretty excited for the episode to air, and it was pretty awesome when it did!
Even though school has started again, and a lot of people have gone back to school/work, we still look forward to the crowds that we will see from now until next summer, and you can bet that we will be cooking up some new things over the winter!
I will be sure to get weekly posts back up and running, and let the rock and roll get you through the week!
Oh, and PS, if you would like to challenge yourself and/or your friends, you can purchase this 13# tenderloin (which will feed 10-12 people) on an 18" bun for $79.99! We appreciate as much notice as you can give us to make it for you (we can't just make them appear out of thin air!)!
