How do I love Josh + Susan? Let me count the ways! I feel incredibly lucky to work just across the street from Istanbul Grille. Fresh, delicious food. And it's not the same old stuff you see everywhere else. Josh is a master at preparing quality menus. The chicken is insane. Hands-down it's the most delicious chicken ever. And I've never met a side I didn't like. I even eat a paleo diet, and have never had a problem finding plenty to eat here...that's not easy to do elsewhere!
Josh is warm and friendly, playfully flirting with his customers. And it works! I keep coming back, and sometimes I make plans in my head for us to run away together and he can feed me for the rest of time. :P Even Susan has gotten in on his playfulness with the customers. The two of them together = dinner and a show!
The way they run the business is top-notch. I've never left hungry, they are so super generous. And there have been many times I didn't have cash on me, and they've given me food anyway. I always pay them back. :) They clearly care about their customers, they recognize and acknowledge their regulars, and enthusiastically embrace and welcome new customers, often showering them with free sides to introduce the variety of food they serve.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to design "i love josh" shirts. :)
