Team Renfroe's 2nd Trip Report - 1,500 pictures, dining reviews, and DISmeets!

[alan_renfroe]

Hi everyone! I am so so sorry that I haven't had the time to respond to your wonderful posts, and I am certainly going to make that time up next week. However, we are in the home stretch for opening our new hot dog restaurant, B.F. Dawgs. We passed our final health inspection on Tuesday and I have literally been working from 8am until midnight or later each night. You have my promise that I will not abandon my DIS-duties!!!!

We now have our web site up at bfdawgs.com. We are going to have a private opening tomorrow night and we open to the public this Saturday. Craziness!!!

Anyway, I am going to post more pictures from the Mammoth May Meet and a new chapter for the trip report following this post.....so you all don't get bored!

Hope all is well with ALL of you. Pray for the Renfroes as we enter into a very interesting chapter in our lives.

Alan

Coming up next - the big GROUP PICTURE, and a surprise from a Disney Character. Later, several of us go to have a few pints at the Rose & Crown! Stay Tuned....

Alan, I am starting up a new CSR FAQ Thread as the old one is about to be closed. Can I have your permission to use some of your photos of the CSR in the new FAQ thread? It would be a great help to me. Thanks.

Kathy

P.S. Love the update...and the DIS Meet.

Absolutely - feel free to do so. Between this trip report and last year's trip report, I have a ton of CSR pictures.

Would you mind posting the link when you are finished? I would love to check it out (in fact a link to the almost full one would be great too!)

Alan, best of luck with your grand opening! I love the story on the website, it sounds like a fun place. Maybe someday I will decide to drive to Florida and stop by on my way through!

the May meet looks like it was fun!!!

Hello Renfores !
Don't remember if I've posted on your TR before but I've read the whole thing.

I have to chime in now and say Best of Luck with B F Dawgs !
Your menu looks fantastic. I love Chicago dogs, just might have to drive over to Jascksonville and visit you. Also can't believe you have Frito pies, another favorite of mine.

You'll do great, your menu is extensive, your prices are good and you're a family friendly place, being in a college town can't hurt either ( I have a friend who went to Jac State)

to you and yours
Lynn

That huge sea of green must have been quite the eye catcher! The menu looks great. I'll have a Deep South Dog, add chili and a side of sweet potato fries, yum!

 

[Welshcakes]

GOOD LUCK!!

All the best to you and your family in your new exciting adventure.

Okay I still haven't figured out how to pull just one picture from your post and put it in my post, but in the May meet pictures I love the lady in the foreground of one picture, she has on a blue tank top and is on an electric scooter. She has a glass of wine in EACH HAND You Go Girl !
That's going to be me in just a couple of years, heck that's me now minus the scooter !

That is my mother. One of those glasses was mine. Not that she couldn't have knocked them both back.
