Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you… all the Little Banzinis (well, at least most of the front of house staff). These are the people that have been hired to deliver The Flying Banzini Experience. No pressure.

The menu boards will be getting printed on Wednesday morning. The full website will go live on Friday.

Not formatted in the Flying Banzini way but here is The Flying Banzini menu as it stands, hours before starting to serve.

My philosophy is, “Don’t do very much but what little we do we should do very, very well.” I am particularly proud of the fact that one of our soft bun sandwiches with a side salad or soup is $9.95. I wanted The Flying Banzini to be elegant, interesting, fast, and AFFORDABLE. I think we made it.
