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.

      Terry Rozier Arrested

      By frankw · Posted

      It's very foolish on Rozier's part considering the money he was already making. But something like this isn't going to go away as the biggest sports leagues continue to directly do business with sports betting companies. It's just layers and layers of hypocrisy.

      AI Analysis on ideal round to draft certain positions.

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Quick Summary Table Position Ideal Round Range Notes Safety (S) 2nd–3rd Best value and depth here Center (C) 3rd–4th Often overlooked; steady starter range Guard (G) 2nd–4th High floor in 2nd–3rd rounds Linebacker (LB) 1st–3rd Scheme-dependent; 2nd–3rd best value   -- I was playing around on Chat GTP today and asked them to find the ideal round to draft the above positions. We're pretty good at guard so I know we aren't too concerned with those spots. I did pay attention to the S, C, and LB data. We picked 2 LB's in those rounds in 2025, but prior to that had we drafted LB on Day 1 or Day 2 since 2020 besides Tevin Wallace? We haven't picked a Safety as high as round 2 since Mike Minter. But what about the 3rd round? I can't think of any. We got Ryan Kalil in Round 2. I'm pretty sure we haven't picked one on Day 2 since. Am I right on this? I'd love to see us use are top 3 picks in 2026 to grab a LB (or 2), a Safety, and may be even a Center. Although, I think Cade Mays has done ok for a 6th rounder and could improve with more playing time and a D-lineman might be a better prospect for team overall.
