New blog
I created this blog to let you know what it's like to be at a little roadhouse restaurant in the absolute middle of nowhere. Right now, the boss and the manager are sitting at a counter going over the numbers. Some bluegrass is playing on the radio, so I can't hear what they are actually talking about. The refrigerator is humming across the room where the ice and popcicles are keeping cool. Paulette, another waitress, has christmas lights hanging all over the place, wreaths, red berry things, a couple of christmas trees. Hey, I'm not into this holiday thing, but what ever makes her happy is good. I just swept the mud so the floor is nice.
We haven't had a sit down customer for a couple of hours, but we have a side of the front room divided off with convenience store items and a few guys have come in to pick up a soda pop, a packet of fried pork rinds, a pack of cigarettes, or other equally unhealthy things, by passing my homebaked cookies (mom's recipes). They don't even look at that luscious chocolate fudge. Go figure!
One oil field worker told me this: "Do you think someones going to climb out of their truck and come inside and order an espresso. Ha! No, they want to climb out of their trucks and order a six pack of beer to go! What were you thinking??" Hmmmm.
Well, we knew the next two weeks would be our slowest weeks of the year as lots of these blue collar guys get the week off. It should give me some time to write on the blogspot.

Hi,
I came across your blog spot while googling "Navajo City Restaurant". I fellow at the BLM in Farmington reccommeded that I check out a restaurant in Largo Canyon (in the Dinetah)for a group tour I will be leading in September. He said that the owners also had a restaurant in Navajo City. I'm wondering if it's the same restaurant?
By the way, your blog is really great. I think you could make a book out of it. You ahve a great sence of humor and make some good observations about human nature and burgers. I'm actually a vegitarian myself, but I enjoyed reading your entry on the menu! I'll have to swing by some time if I ever figure out where Navajo City is. I work in Cortez, CO.
Cheers, Alex
