7. The Seasonal Shopping List For Burger Number Seven

(Still under development — Part 7 of my Dream Diner Proposal)

At this point, having no idea of how to run a restaurant or plan its shopping list, say, for a week, I can only guess at quantities or amounts. But as I continue to develop my “Dream Diner,” I plan on doing some shopping of my own — for advice and suggestions — from other restaurants and groups who plan food events!
