By Sharon Stratton A new bait shop to open in Cookson? No, not really. Ike's is a concept that Dwight has been planning to use for quite some time. A recent change up in personnel just pushed the idea to the front burner a little sooner than anticipated. When the doors of Stampede's reopen on July 2, it will have a new name - Ike's Bait Shop. Leave it to Dwight to come up with a new concept of cooking and serving bait. Everything will be served family style and the menu will continue to have his wonderful chicken, catfish, and barbecue. Later on he will add the popular prime rib. The menu is designed for |
|
Dwight and Justin to be able to run the eatery without so much dependence on hired help. They are no different than the rest of us. As the times get harder, and they are going to get harder, everyone is going to have to tighten their belts and hold on until our economy decides to settle down. The guys just want you to know that they will continue to serve good food, just a little differently. Be sure to go by and check them out.
