Wingfield decided to start dissecting burgers instead of bucks and has created a burger that has been broken down to some very specific steps every burger you have actually passed this process of actually being able to make a birth being a Christian Church boy I had one other thing that was on me all the time and in my spirits every minute and every moment of my life and that was this failure was as a Christian is not an option you just keep doing it and doing it and doing until you get it right Richard's faith helps him put things into a certain perspective motivation to treat everyone with respect and kindness when it came to my customers my attitude was I didn't know who was coming through the door it might have been him so I see it I had to serve the same burger to the guy pushing the grocery court selling ten cans as I did the mayor and that was my whole mentality the whole time that passionate persistence to fulfill his higher calling house paid off how crazy it doesn't get on weekends runner craze is not the way to get stupid on cancer while the burgers here are known for being big the seating area not so much but that hasn't stopped customers from coming up with some creative solutions Thomas Tanabe if you come in you see pickup trucks back up here guys went down the tailgate nadir I see some guys bring their own picnic table as you set up shop by mail okay just wherever you can you can put down the napkin and put the burger down here that's where you eat it so a burger we featuring today and we gonna go with the bacon cheese but let's do it what do you start with mr.
