I do the same math you do.

I run a BBQ joint in Rochester — six days a week, about fifteen folks on the crew. Groceries, gas, heating oil, insurance, equipment, the bills on the building… I watch every one of those costs climb, at the restaurant and at home, same as you do. And when Concord quietly shifts its costs onto our towns and our schools, that lands on us too.

I never planned on running for anything besides my own kitchen. But I was asked to step up, and honestly… somebody who’s living what the rest of us are living ought to. The full website’s coming soon. In the meantime, here are two ways to help get this thing off the ground.
