Meet the owners!!
As most of you know, we are Chris and Adryana. We moved here in January 2021 shortly before snowmageddon. We chose to call Tuscola home after Chris was offered a job with a new company opening in Abilene. After buying the house we instantly fell in love with, we left our respective careers, families, and friends behind to pursue this new opportunity and create a life of our own.
As the job Chris was offered turned out to be nothing but a broken promise. We decided to take another chance and using the last of whatever money we had left we bought an old trailer and started working, it took a little over a year for us to build the trailer right in our front yard as a last ditch effort to make something of ourselves and make sure the bills were paid.
We opened HQ on Jan. 6th 2022, and though we loved every second of it. We were struggling financially, so we asked the community for extra work which many people offered and we are very thankful for that. But 1 of those jobs that Chris picked up was offered to him by The Valley Grills former owner and that was mowing and taking care of the grounds, it was there our dream began to manifest as we realized we wanted to have a restaurant of our own one day!
And from there, things took a turn for the better, the trailer started to get a good following thanks to y’all! And when we got the phone call asking if we’re interested in moving into our new home we were beyond ecstatic and couldn’t believe that this was real.
It’s turning out to be the best decision we ever made! We’ve been so welcomed by this community and can not think of a better place for us to call home.
We’re beyond excited to serve y’all here at Den 83 !! Thank y’all for all your support and sticking with us through our trials, we hope to be here for generations to come!
