Some of you may have noticed a bit of a ruckus back on April 15th when The Burger Broads came all the way out of The Big City (Toronto) to visit little ole us. Well, it was indeed quite a ruckus; check out the latest Burger Broads episode below, shot at The Patty Shack.

The Burger Broads Visit The Patty Shack
Trouble In The Hood
Friends of The Patty Shack,
We at the Patty Shack wish to offer an apology to anyone who has gone out of their way today and the other recent time that we have had to close due to a faulty installation of the vent hood motor for our kitchen. We want you to know that we respect the fact that people only have so much time to go get lunch during their work day and it is unfair to have that time wasted when you travel to a place only to have it be closed. We appreciate so much that you choose the Patty Shack when you do come to us and we owe you this apology for sure. We also owe you a bit of an explanation and a bit of insight as to how we are planning to prevent future incidents like this.
Today, by the time we were able to get onto our social media channels to let you know that we were closed due to this trouble, we had already cost a couple of you some of your time and we apologize. In the meantime, we have set up a plan so that in future, the first call is to our repair guy and the second is out to all of you via Twitter and Facebook so you can plan your day accordingly. Also, as I write this, our repair guy is hustling back from Mississauga with a brand new motor to replace our less-than-year old one that is about to go to the scrap yard. We’re pretty sure that we’re covered now and we only expect to be closed a couple more hours.
In conclusion, we are sorry if we weren’t able to serve you today; please know we appreciate you and respect your time. We have taken measures that we believe will prevent this from happening again.
Thanks for reading,
Patty Shack Crew

Well…THAT was a good time!
We had a great time at First Fridays last week at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery.¬†¬† It seems pointless though, to write a big long post describing it, when Nathan Mackinnon’s article on the Downtown Oshawa News blog says it all…
