Coming soon: second location

One Fat Frog is excited to share that we are opening a second location in the next few weeks.  Shhhh… we’re still setting up.  We’ll be sure to invite you to our grand opening!  Today we’re setting up desks and the offices.

One Fat Frog already has a location in Sanford, FL – just north of Orlando, Daytona, Jax, Ocala and Gainesville.

In the meantime you’re welcome to continue to follow us on the internet, email sales@onefatfrog.com or via phone at 407-936-2733

short history of Rengetsu

So you gotta love the restaurant industry. No matter how we slice it the world is only so large and we’ve all grown up in food service. When we first started liquidating Rengetsu Sushi and Japanese restaurant on I-drive in Orlando FL I called up a friend and said are you interested in x, y and z. They laughed and said, hey, that was my first job at that place… I was the dishwasher and you know what? I took my wife on our first date there.

Small world, eh?

I offered to let him stage a romantic dinner at the restaurant that nite… lol… somehow he didn’t think it would be too romantical while we were pulling restaurant equipment around them.

But, really romance is alive at the frog. In fact we have at least one little tadpole in utero right now… so, don’t get your hopes up about google girl… but I’m just saying one of the guys inthe warehouse is gonna be a dad. Come in and guess which of them looks to be putting on some maternity weight… lol

So, if you’re looking to purchase some sushi equipment, we’ve got a lot for sale. Seems like we’ve liquidated about a few sushi restaurants more than we thought existed…

Call your friends at One Fat Frog at 407-936-2733 for more information

so here you go… chuck norris

You might know we pull a lot of restaurants. What’s a pull? Well it’s our lingo for when we “pull” a restaurant and that’s how the miracle of used restaurant equipment makes it to the Frog. So here’s the thing, you knew it didn’t magically arrive at the Frog. Our Star Trek materialization skills aren’t that great either, so while it takes you mortal restauranteurs a few weeks or months to put together a bar, grill or restaurant, it takes us Froggers just a few hours to “pull” the entire place.

So not too long ago, well a while ago we pulled one of the top sushi restaurants in the nation- yes, sadly Rengetsu came to the Frog as it had seen it’s day.

Anyhoo, so we’re at Rengetsu working crazy hours- I think way too many 16 hour days thanks to our foreman… uhmmm yeah and something like I had eight or nine stitches in the arm thanks to some steel rebar and now they’re trying to say no computer nerd girls on the job site… but that is story for another post on our One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment blog.

So around 10 at nite we got punch drunk from so much fun- ain’t nothing like find calamari aka squid aka octopus that’s been a locked up Florida room temperature walk in cooler for say over 30 days… the aroma is … anything but refreshing.

The Restaurant Equipment Doctor is telling Chuck Norris jokes and I have a few emailed to my iphone and start quoting them. We manage to pull the hood- good times I tell you, good times!- and our new dubbed … well what is he dubbed? anyhoo one of the guys who is yet to be named says after we are all about to fall over, Chuck Norris ain’t got nothing on us!

and so it seems Frog history is re-written… Chuck Norris ain’t got nothing on us…

and prepare for sushi equipment, smallwares galore for sale! I’m talking tons, some vintage…

next up, a super Rengetsu story about the time on I-Drive

watch out…

it seems that Chuck Norris Ain’t Got Nuttin’ on us…
I’m just saying…

I’ll post that joke later
