Five Star BBQ

When I'm not winning money, I have a job so I can actually earn some! This week was rather dull and filled with studying. Besides studying I fill my time with as much work as I can squeeze in, so that is the topic of today's post.

I work at Five Star BBQ in Orem. I found their post on Craig's List saying that they needed an extra cashier because they were extending their hours. Desperately in need of a job, I replied and got the job. I have been working there since June and have come to love this restaurant. We are in this darling old house that is perfect for serving BBQ. My favorite part is getting to talk to all of the customers that come in. Everything is made fresh every day, we make lots of different sauces, and our meat smokes overnight for about 15 hours! Needless to say, everybody LOVES our food so I get to hear people rave about it all day long. It is pretty sweet and makes for some funny moments. Recently the Daily Herald wrote a review about Five Star in the paper. Check it out on our blog: http://fivestarbbq.blogspot.com/search/label/High%20Fives%20%28raves%20and%20reviews%29 The great review made that weekend the busiest we have ever been! That was also the night I won $1,200 so it was a crazy night! Two couples came in together for the first time after reading the paper and, of course, loved the food! They were sitting next to the register so I heard a little bit of their conversation about the food. One of the guys said that finding this place was going to be his good news in elders quorum! haha You gotta love Utah! It is also fun when people, especially the older couples, find out I am going to BYU. They think it is so awesome, which it is, and often give encouraging words while they reminisce about the good ol' days. I guess I can give a shout out to my co-workers since they make work fun. Sometimes I get to chat with one of the girls as we are coming in and out, but I mostly just work with the guys in the kitchen. Working with them is what I imagine having older brothers is like. I think they like having me around just so they have somebody to tease. I am definitely an easy target, but find it all funny. So basically if you are in Utah and anywhere near Orem you should stop by, say hi, and eat a delicious meal. I am quite biased, but it really is all good. I eat there at least three times a week (almost every day I work). I am a rib lover and occasionally treat myself to those, but brisket is definitely our most popular. It is so tender and has this delicious peppery rub on it! Yum! One of my favorite combinations is the pork sandwich and coleslaw! I don't know what it is about those two things, but they are SO delicious together! Apparently in the South they eat their pork sandwiches with coleslaw, but I just found out about it and am spreading the word! Anyway, now you know what I like and know a great place to eat if you want BBQ so my job here is done!
