In addition to a regular menu each night, “Gourmet 2 Go” features two dinners that rotate on a two week schedule, available nightly through their run. Assuming weekly visits, guests could have something new every week without even touching the regular menu, which not only assures variety for patrons, but that Watson can always innovate when inspiration strikes. As of late March the remodel is nearly complete, with a planned grand opening on April 11. The PondeRosie’s crew is excited to have the place finally open — one of the kids can’t decide if he’s happier to start making money or start eating the food — and the founding partners are ready to start showing the community what they can do with a full-fledged restaurant. Rosie’s remains a family affair, with the teenaged kids of Hardy and Lowery Combs working as servers and kitchen staff, and the sisters’ mother helping out as well (some would say in an extreme advisory role). The family’s tech past also shines through, with servers using iPads to write up orders, and a large monitor that displays the menu and live updates from the restaurant’s website. “It’s been really exciting and people have been so gracious,” said Lowery Combs. “We can feel the anticipation and excitement.” ✻ INSIGHT Rosie’s Gourmet 2 Go opens April 11 at 3337 Henry Road in Anniston.
