Naturally



I thought this was important to share. www.maxwellanddunnes.com/

If you poke around www.longislandpress.com long enough you will find this. But for those of you that might have otherwise missed it or if you found me through other means than the press site, this is Maxwell and Dunne's Natural Steakhouse.

I deliver this url for two reasons.

First: because what they are doing over there is an amazing thing; a completely natural steakhouse striving to be as earth and human friendly as possible. Natural is just like saying organic but because they feed the cows allot of corn toward the end of their lives (to really make them delicious), which is not something they would do in the wild on their own, they have to call it natural, not organic. It's a very noble and high risk business model but I know the two proprietors and they both live this life. They have educated themselves of the hazards and benefits of what goes into our foods mostly for their families and daughters. Being that they also feed thousands of Long Islanders, they felt a responsibility to share this consideration with their patrons. Being a steakhouse it might take a while to catch on but if people give it a shot... man is it good.

Second and mostly: I want to brag for Ryan. Ryan is an extremely talented designer who is in charge of both our print ads and our online development. He cranks out print ad after print ad—at times 30 a day—and he still finds time to work on projects like this. He has a team of other designers to help him along the way, but this site was almost 100% Ryan. And it is excellent. Especially if you know what I know—he built it in about 2 weeks.

He'd never say it himself so... I just thought I'd brag a little for him.
