UPDATE on The Rusty Skillet
Hi, it’s us again 🙂
First, we want to post a better menu that we have created. This will be our menu once we get things straightened out and/or get rolling on the road!
Second, it has been brought to our attention that several of our supporters have contacted planning & zoning voicing their complaints about us not being able to serve on our property which is most appreciated. We were asked as to why they were blamed when they had specifically told us that our permit was only to store the trailer and our goods, not serve on our property. Just to clarify and so that none of our supporters think we have told them an untruth in any way, this is true but then we were also told that Botetourt County did not have any ordinance on record in their books regarding food trucks/trailers, therefore, we could serve from our property since we had ample space and good visibility pulling into and out of the driveway. We are not here to point fingers or blame anyone for what is currently going on, but, we truly felt like we had a good thing going and we were so excited about our new adventure. We just wanted to put the honest truth out so that no one thought we had such a great first opening weekend and then we just gave up 🤪
Lastly, all of you are AMAZING and again, we can’t thank you enough for the love and support you all have shown us. So many have reached out with great ideas or offering their lots and we have so much to think about and piece together and we’re secretly hoping things get turned around and we can serve on our property again but only time will tell!
