It's always refreshing to interact and not be broadcasted to.

I absolutely adore and admire her passion for Claim Jumper and what she is doing for the brand. I am a raving fan of CJ and was before I connected the two. Her legacy is tremendous and value proposition is, well, commendable. She is such an engaging and genuine person. It is a great story, as usual Nate and nice that you profile a restaurant person.<br>Being in the industry myself for more years than I want to remember, I am so happy to see us using SM to this level of authenticity!!!!!

Once was the first time I wore a new shirt and tie (the first ones I'd ever bought), because I had a job interview that day. The job actually turned out to be a scam, though. When they said "office manager", what they really meant was "dude who sells CDs titled 'Revenge of the Gadfly' door-to-door." I wish I were making that up.<br><br>The other time was when my brother and cousin came to visit me out there, and the three of us went with one of my friends, who happened to be very pretty. My cousin got really upset because he somehow flipped his rack of ribs off is plate, down his shirt, and onto his lap. Quite embarrassing. <br><br>But the food and atmosphere were good then, and I look forward to going next week. Yeah, I've only been twice, both times 10 years ago when I lived out in Denver.
