Today my Mother went to Heaven to join my Father and Brother.
I’m sad that she has left us but happy to know that heaven has the greatest candy box packer ever. Heaven will be well stocked for Valentine’s Day and Easter.
Love you Mom ❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔
Thanks to all of our wonderful and awesome Customers for all the ❤️and support this past year
Hard to believe we will be starting our 106th year in business on this corner!
We owe it to all of you that we are still here much ❤️STL
17 years ago this amazing woman married me.
We have loved
We have laughed
We have cried together
We have lost loved ones we have gained loved ones.
I could not imagine my life with out her! I love you Sherri. Now it’s Time for the next 17 years together! ❤️❤️❤️
Crown Candy Kitchen will be closed
Monday and Tuesday September 4th and 5th for Labor Day and one extra day because it just makes our lives a little easier.
I am at a point in my life where I will be making decisions based on what’s best for our mental and physical health
We are sitting in a airport
Crying right now. Two of our CCK family attend CVP and they are both safe but it’s absolutely awful that they had to endure that trauma 💔
Just thankful to the brave folks who stood up and saved lives today

I’m sure this is all my fault and 25% of the comments will tell us to move out of the city because it would be so much better for us in the county.
Yeah let’s throw away 110 years of history, no biggie.
But can we please get some damn love up here in Narth city
I cried watching this sunset
I am the luckiest SOB
I am thankful that my amazing employees have afforded us this opportunity
And my amazing customers have supported our family for 110 years and that’s why we are here today

Happy Friday
I’ve put a call into the Vatican and the pope has issued a special dispensation for eating bacon on Friday
@CrownCandy
Bacon is now considered see food 😳😁
Well Just had a giant Asshole make a huge scene in the restaurant because all my employees ask him to put a mask on and apparently on the way out used a racial slur toward one of my employees
FYI I was told this after it happened because if I was out there we’d been going at it
There is zero repercussions for any business that’s not following the guidelines or the mask mandate so in my opinion until something drastic happens we will not be rid of this.
It sucks for all the businesses following the rules that they get punished for the sins of others
So I’d like to encourage everyone that’s on my twitter feed to do a random act of kindness this weekend. It can be for a total stranger or someone you know that may or may not need it.
That simple act may be enough to keep someone above water in rough seas

FYI folks I’m in such a emotional state(I’ve drank a lot of tequila )and seeing how much love has been shown to all of our restaurants in our great community I’m a bit weepy
So much love to all of you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Looks like I’ll be on
@ksdknews
tonight commenting on the mask mandate for the region here’s a spoiler I think people should wear the mask because it’s the right thing to do and because your actions affect EVERYONE!
My dad past away 19 years ago it was Easter Sunday and he hung on all week on Sunday my mom told him Easter is here,he took a breath closed his eyes and was gone.
I love you dad and I’ll always miss you
Thank you for teaching me what hard work and being a good human being is.
So a quick update on my waitress who got stiffed on a 195.00
Tonight two awesome people came in and gave her a very nice tip to make up for the asshats who didn’t tip her.
Many thanks to them
That always reminds me that there are way more good peeps than bad ones ❤️❤️❤️❤️
FYI I’m just sitting here bawling and not because of the episode because of all the amazing people sending all the ❤️
None of this is possible with all the love this city has shown my family for 108 years
❤️❤️❤️StL
Everyday I walk through the doors of
@CrownCandy
and I do the best job I can to steer this fine ship and I am thankful for all my great employees that do the job day in and day out❤️.
For a guy with a 12th grade education
I’m one lucky SOB!
So
@CrownCandy
will be closed till at least Thursday January 21st. We are being overly cautious and want to make sure we can operated at a level that our customers deserve.

Today our sweet Jośe Cuervo is going to be with his brother Goose and his sister Effie and his cousin Venti. Jośe loved us like no other dog ever has. He was a fierce protect of us and our home. Today you can stand down and chase your brother Goose thru the fields 💙💔😔
So we’ve now been to two places where the employees are not wearing masks. We walked out. Cannot support a place that’s not doing the right thing
No Mexican for lunch 😔
@CrownCandy
will be closed today. We have suffered a devastating loss to the CCK family. Please send every bit of positive energy to our family we will need it.
I must admit most days are good days but some days are not so good days and other days are just plain great while sometimes it’s just awful but 90% of the time it’s good and about 25% it’s not so good but 100% of the time is alright
Can ya feel me
So I occasionally post about the bad or zero tippers that grace out establishment so it’s only right that I post about the amazing tippers also.
Today on a 119.00 check 2 families left a 110% tip for one of my servers.
It all works out at the end of the day

Apparently one person saw my interview last night and has decided he will never patronize
@CrownCandy
because we suggest you wear a mask when in our business.
I would have to say that the biggest negative in our city is the absolute chaos on our streets
When you fear for your life because you actually stopped at a stop sign it’s just sad
Now that this is all over will the city streets get paved and potholes fixed and trash picked up and crime reduced and mental health professionals deployed and streets cleaned up and the riverfront developed and affordable housing put up and downtown revived ?
It’s over it’s done it’s finished! It was a very good Easter season
My staff was great and 99.9% of you were awesome
Easter
#109
@CrownCandy
is in the books.
I’m going to sleep with buckets of anxiety but I’m also going to sleep knowing that I’m in a town full of the best damn restaurants and bar peeps in the whole damn world. These are all folks I will gladly share a foxhole with! We get knocked down but we get up again.

I hope all my fellow restaurant owners had great days
I feel like we all should have a lot of great days this year because gosh darn it people like us and we sure has hell deserve it after surviving the last 11 months of this shit show. Much love to all you
