Was a very good restaurant and Dan Morgan is a very nice guy but the restaurant business is brutal

Friends and Family of Sweet T's Diner, it is with heavy heart and deep regret that we announce the closing of the Diner. The current environment coupled with the circumstances beyond our control has presented insurmountable challenges we did not anticipate. Please know that we fought as hard as we could to keep the restaurant open - we simply could not continue to personally overcome these challenges.

Thanks for all your enduring support during this venture....we truly value each and every one of you."

I would not suggest a hobo turn to you for advice let alone a former NFL player. With that said, it sucks that it's happening but you win some you loose some. I am sure Dan is smart enough to use this as a learning experience and that will only make Cheeze Mo's stronger.

rest biz is super tough. guys i grew up with family has always owned one.

I know one of the dude's who owns Cosmo's and they just had a write up in the Ob about them being around so long. 9 years is like 20 yrs in the rest biz nowadays.

There was an awesome restaurant in Dilworth called Planet Grill years ago. Man that place was awesome. And always packed. And yet, it didn't survive. I think the owners of restaurants tend to put too much of the profit up their noses and it bites them in the ass.

Before I joined the Navy back in 1986, I worked in a restaurant. My job for about a year was to order all the supplies and assist in maintaining the books. Having good food was not enough. We had a manager who was an excellent cook, and good at managing cooks, but a poor boss in other aspects. Just had no clue about the personnel side of the business. Our profit margin was about 1%. The owner eventually canned him, and the new manager was about to get the profit up to a healthy 8-10%.

Fwiw, I wouldn't go back into the food business unless it was a last resort.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By Car123 · Posted

      Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
