Another week living under the COVID-19 quarantine and seeing restaurants and small businesses suffering.  Thats why each week and I think this is the sixth, I buy lunch for my entire company from a local restaurant.  This week it was Olena by Chef Ron Simon.  Chef Simon works hard and he is doing everything possible to keep his restaurant open and employees working.  Working with him and his Team was hassle free and enjoyable.  They replied quickly to texts or emails and had the food ready on time.  On the menu on this day were delicious BBQ Ribs with Pineapple Cole Slaw.  The ribs literally fell off the bone.  Moist and melted in your mouth.  No knife needed.  Also loved the Pineapple Slaw which is made with no mayonnaise.  Please support local restaurants during these messed up times for small business.

I follow Olena on Instagram and love the videos they post showing Chef Ron preparing his food.
On this morning he was making an Italian Meatball Sandwich and it looked so good.  After seeing the short video I texted the restaurant to ask how much the sandwich was.  They texted me right back and said $15.  Wow...a bit expensive I thought but it looks so good.  I asked if I can order five sandwiches for pickup at 11AM.  A text came back asking me to order on their website so it would be in their system.  This was great because I could order and pay online and just have the sandwiches picked up.    One of my Associates at work drove up to Olena at 11AM and they were greeted and given the food in just seconds.  As a thank you for a nice tip my bag included some free Poke and a Chicken Porridge.  This was so nice I thought.  The Meatball Sandwiches included the Meatballs, Muenster Cheese, Peppers and Onions on a buttered and toasted bun.  Delicous!  Oh why did I order five sandwiches?  Bought four extra for my front counter personnel who work hard serving our customers.  Olena is a great small business that needs to be supported during these difficult times.
