Living the Dream
I have worked in restaurants since bussing tables at Bonanza in Green Hills at age 17. My dream has always been to have a beautiful wife, healthy children, and my own thriving restaurant. I achieved that goal several years back but found that the amount of work required to keep that business growing meant that I did not see my wife and children as much as I wanted. When I expressed this problem to others in the industry, everybody shook their heads in knowing acceptance. Something inside said the dream was not achieved yet. I was not having the cake and eating it too!
So, I sold my old restaurant and started a new one. Named it Gabby’s after my daughter. Now we close at 2:30, do not do Sunday’s and shut the store down to take vacations! I have time for my family. Thank you to my wife Coreen for letting me “sell a very profitable business and open a restaurant in the middle of a recession”. I married up!
Our goal is great food and great service at a reasonable price. I need happy customers who will come back again and again (maybe with a friend). If you do not receive great food, great service and you do not feel after paying like you got a great deal, my dream will fail. Please, let me know what I can do to keep living my dream. 2/24/09
Living the Dream II
People are always asking “are you living the dream?” And I always answer “Yes”. But I must say the dream has changed over the past few years. There is less about the restaurant and more about the children. Seamus and Gabriella are growing up FAST, and I want to be here less and with them more. Once I began down this new path, I loved it more than I thought possible.
I do dream that Gabby’s will become a Nashville institution like Haptowns, Rotiers or the Loveless. But today, I just want to pay my bills, get out of debt, and hug my wife and children as much as possible. Simple. The way dreams ought to be. 4/30/12
Living the Dream III
And then came Covid! I had two stores by then and the only goal was survival. We still have most of our employees and one store. Now I just want to make it with the one store. I do not even think I want to be as busy as before. But I have been reminded how precious this all is. It is FUN again. And we are lucky to still be here. I am grateful for this simple burger joint, my family, the employees, and the customers. We are still living the dream! 8/10/22
