Hash Browns

Having been in the food business for almost 30 years, you'd think we'd seen pretty much everything. But last Sunday at NOFO at the Pig, we saw more than we normally see.

Three youngish women came in late to brunch. They, shall we say, had obviously had a grand time the night before. They sat the bar, ordered Bloody Mary's and looked over the Brunch menu.

When their waitress came to take their orders, they requested hash browns. The waitress told them that we serve our creamy grits as our breakfast side, but that the Miguel's Big Bear Scramble is made with hash browns and suggested to the women that they order that.

It was clear that plain hash browns were what the ladies wanted, and the waitress left the three to think about their orders and to check on her other customers.

The women, however, decided to skip the middle man and take their problem to the man who could solve it, the chef. They hopped off their stools and marched into the kitchen, and faced the chef.

"What will it take to get hash browns?", they demanded. The surprised chef lifted his hands in the standard palms-up pose and was struck dumb by the trios presence.

Not getting the immediate positive answer they wanted, the women proceeded to lift their shirts and flash the chef.

It made his day. He made them them the hash browns. Hmmm And the moral of this is?

Wounded Warrior

The power of the press is amazing. An article on one of our very favorite products, Wounded Warrior, appeared in the Star News on July 12. Our Forum store sold 200 tubes of Wounded Warrior between July 13 and the 31!

It's a Munny, Honey!

We are late by NYC & LA standards to discover the MUNNY. As we don't have a handy neighborhood Kidrobot Store, we had not had the opportunity to fall under Munny's spell in person.

We knew that there are Munny contests, portrait galleries, a website, and even a film festival; but we had no idea just how lovable and intriguing a Munny can be.... until they arrived at NOFO.

Munny comes plain. He's a DIY project. Ours are white, series II. He comes in a box with a coloring book and 4 mysterious accesseries. We also carry Munny crayons.

You can make hats and outfits for your Munny, color him, paint him, and put things in his hands or, you can simply love him as he is and take him wherever you go.

NOFO's so pleased that Kidrobot considered us cool & savvy enough to carry Munny. We can not wait to see what our customers do with him.
