Heat Lamps Show Their Creative Side

Sep172008

imageHeat Lamps are a hard-working, no-nonsense product that you usually find towards the back wall of a kitchen or serving line warming up some fried pies or tater tots.

Not so with Carlisle’s HL7237. It has taken on a new look – thanks to Linus Of Hollywood’s recently released CD “Reheat And Serve”.  Linus used our humble heat lamp on the cover of his CD along with some “hot” tunes.

Jul222008

As more operators, commercial and non-commercial alike, continue to embrace the notion of sustainable foodservice, they seem to do so with an emphasis on the ingredients they use. And much like the morning glories that continue to grow rampantly in my backyard, the movement seems to show no signs of slowing down.

There’s Only One Way to Make Money in Sales

Jun202008

Over the years I have bought and sold several rental properties. One of my recent houses needed some work done since the yard sloped toward the house and caused a water problem.

I was going to build a deck but first I needed to work on solving the water problem.
