R&V Works- (FF2-S) Cajun Fryer
Chicken, fish or fries this fryer does It all. Brought to you by R&V Works this Super 6 gallon capacity fryer is all you need to fry it up. This fryer comes with 2- baskets so you can load them whatever you may want to fry. This fryer is very versatile and requires very little maintenance, and the quality is phenomenal. The success of these fryers comes from the design of the Burner/Flue. The Burner is positioned 6" above the bottom of the oil reservoir and is at a 45 degree angle. This prevents the food batter from collecting on the burner and allows it to fall to the bottom of
the reservoir. Since heat rises, the bottom never gets hotter than 120 degrees, which isn't hot enough to burn or scorch the batter. This keeps the oil clean, cooking after cooking. Fire burns inside the tubes to heat the oil, since heat rises, the cooking chamber is able to reach temperatures sufficient enough to fry any type of food without heating the oil in the VEE. The meal and sediments from food and batter collects in the VEE below the burner tubes--the coolest area on of the fryer (Will never get hotter than 120 F). If you are looking for a fryer look no further than JES we are a proud carrier of R&V Works products!

CHEF PHIL ON THE HOLLAND GRILL | OUTDOOR GRILLS
A wise man once told me,"it's what you learn when you think you know it all that counts". I never professed to knowing it all, but when it came to grilling food over an open flame I knew I could hold my own. It was only after a recent visit from Chad our representative for the Holland Grill Company, that led me to believe otherwise. He opened my eyes to a brand new concept in char-broiling, while opening my taste buds to some of the most succulent meats I've ever had on an outdoor grill.
The smorgasbord of grilled meats he served included pork chops, chicken thighs and breasts. They were as moist as if they had been slow-cooked and brought right out of the oven. With the lid down, an entire chicken simmered on the Holland grate undisturbed. I was taken aback by the fact that Chad not once felt the need to at least turn the meat; however, in just over an hour the entire bird came out cooked to perfection. The skin was crisp and flavorful while the meat itself held in a moist flavor— just the way I like it.
Aside from all Holland Grill products being made in America, these beauties have several other great features that are sure to win you over. The Patriot BH421-CG-1 has a heavy stainless steel charcoal tray trap door that makes adding more charcoal a breeze. There are four adjustable air vents that allow for temperature control. With this indirect convection style of
"The Patriot" Holland Grill BH421CG1
grilling, one is not limited to meats alone. You can also cook pizzas, apple pies and even chocolate chip cookies on these state of the art grills. One of the best thing about all Holland grills are there no flair up guarantee. The Wrangler BH421AG7 is a gas model grill that has a solid aluminum bottom shell that also helps prevent rusting. Aside from these grills being great for grilling and smoking, they can also be used as a steamer for seafood, ribs, pork loins, and other meats. In order to utilize this aspect of the grill, you should close the drain valve of your grill. Then open the lid and fill the drip pan with about a half gallon of water. You should then properly light the grill, close the lid and let it preheat to 15 or 20 minutes until you see steam coming from the smoke stack. After this, stick your food on the grid and close the lid.
Once you purchase your new Holland Grill, this summer you'll want to turn your patio into an outdoor kitchen. I could go on forever about the
"The Wrangler" Holland Grill BH421AG7
features and great accessories these grills have to offer, but consequently, I'm sure I would be leaving something out. Instead, I suggest you watch my Holland Grill video for further information. J.E.S. Restaurant Equipment is a proud distributor of the Holland Grill Company and they have an informative sales staff willing to provide you with all the necessary information you need before making your purchase on a Holland Grill. Give them a call toll free at (866)-200-6056. If you happen to be local to South Carolina, I would suggest you stop by their showroom and find their full line of grills and accessories from the Holland Grill Company.
One more thing, when I was looking to buy a recliner the salesperson told me not to buy a La-Z-Boy, because if I didn't buy the La-Z-Boy, then I would always know there was something better on the market. I believe the same concept holds true for char-broilers.
Thanks for reading!

WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU? IT COULD MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
Update International MCV-1BK
Every good restaurant needs a great menu. If you are a restauranteur, devising a great menu should be at the top of your priority list. The menu can either turn your customers away immediately or keep them coming back well into the future. What most restaurant owners fail to realize is that a good menu is more than just a list of entrees and appetizers on paper. It should complement the overall look and atmosphere of your restaurant with a good design and layout. It should also be updated regularly to adjust for cost and determine which items sell and which items aren't.
When creating your menu, the descriptions should be vivid and enticing enough to draw in your customers and give them a firm understanding of what they are ordering. You might want to add some ethnic names of dishes to give a bit of authentic flair to your menu.
The design of your menu aesthetically reflects the atmosphere of your restaurant itself. The layouts and colors should match the concept of your restaurant and its theme. For instance, if you are opening an Italian restaurant then perhaps you will choose a cursive typeface that signifies elegance and evokes the feeling that one is in old Tuscany.
When determining the cost of your entrees, appetizers, etc., the cost of foods and the amount of food presented with each meal is indicative to the overall cost of each entree. This is another great way to balance expensive and inexpensive items while limiting the use of market price items.
It's always good to have a specialty menu. During holidays such as Valentine's Day when restaurants are getting hit with a lot of business, it's ideal to make a menu that appeals for that occasion. For example, you could have a dinner for two that runs a special on a romantic meal such as spaghetti or something similar.
Also, once you have picked out a design for your menu it's ideal to complement your menu with a menu cover that expresses the tone you are trying to convey about your establishment to your customers. The menu holder also speaks volumes about the aesthetic tone you are aspiring to convey about your restaurant. We here at J.E.S. Restaurant Equipment have almost everything you need to build a successful establishment.
T&S BRASS LEADING THE WAY LEAD FREE
For years T&S Brass has been a leading manufacturer in spray valves, commercial faucets and plumbing equipment. T&S Brass has always tried to stay on top of all new regulations by providing quality, innovative products.
The California Assembly Bill 1953 was signed into a law in September of 2006. This law requires a reduced amount of lead content in products to a weighted average of no more than .25% in pipes and other plumbing fixtures.
The Law specifically states as follows:
No person shall introduce into commerce, for use in California, any pipe, pipe or plumbing fitting, or fixture intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption through drinking water or cooking that is not lead free.* This includes kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, and any other end-use devices intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption through drinking or cooking.
*PLEASE NOTE: Use of the term 'lead free' varies between the new legislation in CA and VT, and in the current Federal Safe Drinking Water Act requirements. In the new legislation for CA and VT only, starting in 2010, it will mean 0.25% or less (weighted average).
We here at J.E.S. Restaurant Equipment are a proud distributor of T&S Brass products and a proud advocate of Low Lead Laws in commercial faucets and plumbing equipment.
