Exactly. You gotta love a good diner mug too. First we have to talk to Jeff from down uh town Freehold to talk about what exactly this flavor of Freehold is and who benefits? Because this is a great event. Thank you so much for coming to Downtown Freehold. The flavor of Freehold. Well, downtown Freed is a nonprofit that supports 100 and 60 events a year and the flavor of Freehold is a dine around going about 15 different restaurants and nine different shops where you get to sample their different cuisines and see what they sell and all the money raised with $25 a ticket. And the money goes to the Municipal Alliance to prevent substance abuse. What a great cause and what a great event too. I love. We were just talking, you get to sample food and we're going to bring in Roberto here from Roberto's Freehold Grill and food. Are you gonna be serving us tonight? We're serving um homemade Beijing waffles and, uh, soup. So you're gonna stay open later because what are your hours from 730 to 230? Amazing. And we have the menu here and I love this. It looks like the breakfast combos are all street names in Freehold. I mean, how did you come up with that concept? You know what, this one when I was working on my menu? Just one night I wake up and say, ah, shut down. So, if you've been in town for a while, this is your first business, what do you enjoy the most about being in Freehold to be a part of the community? Yes, it's that good. What do you think, Jeff? I agree. We've got a tight knit community, a tight knit business community that all work together to make this town a thriving place. It is.
