" I just wanted to take care of enough people, and make a little extra money" If everyone shared that ethos, our communities would be in far better shape than they are. Well done Sir, you are the kind of man the world needs nore of. I wish you all the success you deserve. ❤

Yay!!! I LOVE to see a small business succeed, especially when their product is "amazing" and the owner, Scott, "incredibly kind", as Nick said. I love that the wonderful people in the community came out to support that business. I sincerely hope they are able to continue that support. And, Nick, great job with the posting of such a heartwarming photo in a world of nothing but selfish. What a fantastic thing you have done! If I lived close enuf, I would LOVE to sample some of that amazing food!

A great story, you should always help local businesses whenever possible. Most of the time their food is better and the portion is bigger than a chain restaurant.

@@shipwreck8847you're not wrong in a general sense but there's no rule that says you can't rebuild or create a decent local community where people help each other, support each other, and business can thrive with mutual benefit to the owner and the patrons. The people of the town can still meet, organize, and decide what to make of their locality.
