Hi John,
Hope you’re doing well. Coming up on the holidays always reminds me of your Santa Clause phone line. I always had fun with you on that.

Here’s the new news — from the Pickle Empire, our newest location for Three Pickles Deli at 1436 Chapala Street will be open on Saturdays now from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and we’re also doing special Smitty’s burgers on Fridays at the original location on 126 E. Canon Perdido Street.
