6 weeks, huh...

Top 2 selling Appetizers: Exploding Bacon and Cheesy Poofs; along with the top selling meal, Thunder Chicken.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I'd like to order the Simbot Sirloin with extra HOT sauce and a side of Cheesy Poofs. Hold the Citrus.

The BBQ in that order is maxed out

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Ok, I did not expect this to turn into Chief Deli 2.0 so quickly.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Do we all get some Space Cookies for doing so well? :cool:

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I could go for some ThunderChicken nuggets, with some SAUCE for the Taters.

After seeing the Andy Baker in the old thread, I'm tempted to bring one into work some day... Thanks for the idea Jess/original credit to Dave Lavery!

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Oh, and how can you forget about the dessert? Cheesecake!!!

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Dont forget the corn dogs and the cheese cake

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

They're not waiters and waitresses - they're Payload Spec1al1sts!

Yelp review:
"Cute little place, nice ambiance, I enjoyed the Stirling silverware, but the green beans were a bit woodie. Lord, the Dumplings were fantastic though.
I noticed lots of people were eating cheesecake, but I couldn't find it on the menu."

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

So are they using city water, or is everything coming out of a Slingshot?

(And if so, will the customers know?)

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

What do you call a breakfast of champions? Exploding Bacon, Thunder Chickens, and Flying Toasters.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

How about some Wild...Stang meat?

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Should be interesting, hopefully in an Ottolenghi-eseque way. Food is just chemistry, after all.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Chute Door?

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Silly me. I thought it was going to be a corndog stand.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Don't forget that many dishes are served with Blue Cheese dressing as well.. Citrus juice, soda, and water is offered as well.

There will also be a ton of seafood at this restaurant because the Duluth East Daredevils will provide us with the best fish out of lake superior.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Yes, chute door.

I wonder if the Average Joes can get a table at Dean's Foundry? Our dining budget is pretty modest.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I remember running into Dean at the Yard in Manchester a few years ago. Perks of being from southern NH.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Will they be selling S.P.A.M.? ;)

Perhaps with a side of Blue Cheese?

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry

Is an appetizer fried cheesy poofs?

One for my team:
Can I get that salad with a side of Cyber Blue Cheese Dressing?

So many great menu items... Hahaha

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Flaming Chicken hot wings with a side of Blue Cheese?

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

(Apologies to Ron White)...
"Waiter, could I please have an order of Tator Salad?":)

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

They will if they want to attract Hawaiian Kids as well as mainlanders.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

And to wash it all down, plenty of Mountain Dew!

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Uh hi, can I get4946 alpha dogs with extra chilli? I'm feeling kinda hungry today ....

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Next thing you know Dean will buy out the Cheesecake Factory.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

No senior discounts. If you want a discount, you must have your team moscot with you. Or a least be wearing a team shirt.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I love all of you. Pineapple pizza for Frank too!

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

So, do the waiters/waitresses wear all denim?

Will it have a Driven Thru?

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

For utensils, they'll have to use SPORKs.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

They could, um, eat a rockete-... No that doesn't work.
What if they ate while in a rocke-... No that's still lame.
They could cook the food using rocket-... No that's probably unhealthy.

Curse my team's non-food-themed name!

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

As long as the food doesn't have any loose screws in it, I'll be fine.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Frog (force) legs?

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

As long as it's open late, 1923 will be just fine... :)

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

There better be a Senior (Mentor) discount!

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I did a little digging about this idea, and if my sources are valid, liquid hydrogen was a rocket fuel. Cooking the food by burning liquid hydrogen should (assuming I remember my chemistry correctly) lead to the chemical reaction:

2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O

Dihydrogen monoxide, despite its scary name, is safe to consume.

However, you would also need a really strong oven, because rocket fuel produces enough force to lift a huge rocket into space. Additionally, you wouldn't want to cook it for very long, considering that the reaction produces a temperature of about 5,500 F.

TL;DR: If you manage to cook something with rocket fuel, it shouldn't have any harmful byproducts.

I will jump back in and say as a former Manch resident, this is a GREAT thing for this location. It's right on the water, has an awesome deck, and lots of space. Jillian's was a good fit while it was still there, and honestly the World Sports Bar was pretty lackluster in comparison. Dean putting in the parking garage to handle the needs of renovating the Pandora building (right across the way) will help this even further.

Dean owns roughly half of the millyard, and his dedication to keeping it intact while making it an awesome space is really admirable. I'm sure we will hear about this in the future ("If I can build a restaurant in 6 weeks...").

Sidenote: Honestly, I seriously flirted with the idea of opening and nerd-themed bar/restaurant in Manchester for a while. Not at this location, but close by, and I think it will resonate well with the downtown crowd.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Waiters and waitresses wear denim and serve food by riding around on segways.

Drive thru can be a chute door. Lol. Just open it and the food will slide right out!

Purdue Physics department tried to use some LOX for grilling.....
Coals are "ready" very quickly, but not terribly useful....

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I think it needs to be named "Bag and Tag."

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I wonder if there will be uproar when he tries to franchise the brand... Say no to FoundrySplit! :p

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Can I order That ONE Item, please, with That ONE Drink?

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Dean should start referring to bananas as "championships." That way, if I go to this place, for dessert I could have cheesecake and a championship split.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Cheesecake might be banned in the future... too high in calories and all :cool:

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Is the food delivered by people on Segways controlling RC helicopters?

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

There isn't any waitstaff - meals are driven to the table by robots. Bumpers optional, but each robot must have the table number it is serving marked clearly so it can be seen from any angle.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

+1

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Like the totes from the chute door, the food is either going to land right-side up or on its back, we really don't know until we find out.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

Do they do delivery to the moon?

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I sure hope the food is cooked over a FIRE.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

No, but they Dave-Lavery to Mars.

I'll show myself out.

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I'll have to make a field trip just for this :)

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I heard the chef will be a lean Mean grilling Machine!

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

In all seriousness, I'm looking forward to hopefully taking a trip up to Manchester later this summer to check the restaurant out. Sounds like it will be a cool place.

Congrats on the new endeavor Dean!

This seemed worth a repost on this thread:

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

If you received food that was 67 degrees fahrenheit at this place, would it be considered HOT or cold?

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

67F is tepid.

67C is HOT!

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

I think Dean has something about 6 weeks...

Re: Dean bought a restaurant, opening in 6 weeks, called The Foundry
 

6 weeks...
42 days... 42...

How did I never notice this...
