[upbeat music] You can't do drugs before you come in and wait tables.

[laughs] Yeah.

The BLT is a fan favorite as well, 'cause, I mean, you can't go wrong with a BLT.

I'm gonna stop you, I'm gonna stop you right there.

Bert L. Taylor-

Mm-hmm

... is the name of the BLT.

Yes.

I'm assuming that's somebody.

He, he is.

He's actually, uh...

Again, we did a lot of research when we developed this menu and came up with the names and stuff.

Bert L. Taylor is the creator of the BLT.

Stop it.

[laughs]

I am not lying.

Really?

I swear.

Okay, we got it.

Everybody thinks it's bacon, lettuce, tomato, but it's Mr. Bert L. Taylor.

It's Bert L. Taylor.

One day, I had, what, I don't know, like, two months working as a dishwasher, and, uh, I started talking a few words in English, 'cause I didn't speak English at all.

Sure.

[laughs]

And, uh, one day, when, uh, the cook from the, the grill, he called sick.

Oh, here we come.

And, uh, the manager was going crazy looking for somebody to cover that shift.

And, uh, and I ask him, I'm like, "Hey, I can do it." And he's like, "You've only been here for two months.

Can you really do it?" And it was a really busy restaurant.

Sure.

And I, "Yeah, I'll do it." So he gave me a chance, and, uh, the next day, when the other guy came back, he was doing dishes and I was on the grill.

No. [laughs]

[laughs]

Every year we wanna do our anniversary barley wine.

It's a fantastic recipe.

I, I, I loved it.

I drank it way too fast-

Hmm

... last time I made it.

But, um, I wanna pull, you know, 10 to 15 gallons off and make the Four Horsemen, which is gonna include every pepper we use.

Ugh.

And, uh, may or may not include a waiver.

[laughs]

Yeah.

[laughs] Probably pretty smart.
