Daily Journal-- 4/5/11

It is June 6th, 2011 and the first day of "Jackson's Taco Bar." I developed this restaurant because I love tacos, and I have added a creative twist on the traditional americanized-mexican cuisine. In addition to serving tacos, chips, salsa, and beverages, Jackson's Taco Bar will have live entertainment in the form of belly dancers. I searched a long time to find the perfect belly dancer for the position, and hosted numerous auditions. After five days of auditioning possible dancers, I finally came across a tall, dark-skinned boy named Dillon Chauhan. Dillon was the best belly dancer I had ever seen, and he also loved tacos so it was a good fit. Every once and a while when Dillon was hungry, and needed a break I would come bring him a taco. It was a good deal that we had worked out, and he was excited for his first shift.

At 6 o'clock PM the doors open to Jackson's and twenty or more people who were waiting at the door piled in to the restaurant. Our rookie cashiers did a great job of ringing orders, and the chefs in the backroom were very quick about preparing tacos. Steak tacos were an instant hit, and many people ordered chicken and turkey as well. We chargedm $2 per taco, and 3 tacos for $5. No waitors were necessary at this restaurant, because it was a hybrid fast food chain, similar to Chipotle... but better. At 6:30 I went into the back room to check on Dillon. Dillon was meditating in a cross-legged position, apparently trying to calm himself before his big show. My daughter, who also worked at Jackson's, was applying make-up on Dillon's face. I asked him if he was ready, and without speaking he raised his hand to signal "5 more minutes."

When Dillon came out of his dress room, and into the main lobby, it was glorious. He was wearing a diamond-studded shirt that stopped right after his pectoral muscles, and revealed his tummy-hair. He let out a great roar right before the music came on in the building, and then began dancing. He was a natural. All the customers started applauding and slipping one-dollar bills under Dillon's waistline. Dillon started shimmying for the old ladies at the booth adjacent to the checkout line. In total, Jackson's Bar made $2,500 in profit that night. Dillon Chauhan made $4,000.
