A local Provo icon gave way to progress tonight as the J Dawgs "Shack" served its last dawgs (for now) and the new J Dawgs World Headquarters opened its doors for a VIP opening to test the new digs before the grand opening tomorrow (Saturday, September 19).A beautiful sunset reflected off the shack and the Wasatch Mountains in the background and provided a fitting benediction for the shack. Many regulars enjoyed their usual spots on the lawn or out back of the shack, as they contemplated the move to the new building just a few feet south of the old shack.
As Jayson's sister (our daughter) Joy closed up the shack for the last time (with tears in her eyes), J Dawg was serving his mother, the keeper of the "Special Sauce" secret recipe, the first official dawg!
Hundreds of J Dawgs fans reminisced about the past and the future as they ate and drank what seemed like an endless supply of dwags and soda! It was a fantastic time and Deb and I are so proud of Jayson and Heidi and wish them more continued success in the new restaurant!
Here is a few of the hundreds of photos that were taken of the event (without commentary at this time... it is very early in the morning and I need to go to bed.
