STATE OF THE RESTAURANT ADDRESS

MY FELLOW DINERS...

I am proud to deliver this year’s State of the Restaurant Address. At a time when our economy in turmoil and my friends in Congress and the Legislature wrestle with financial problems, I have demanded that Tony P’s diners get a break!

That’s why we have created the Dockside Rewards Program. Now, diners everywhere can earn Reward Points just for dining at Tony P’s. Eat a steak, earn points! Eat a salad, earn points! And, now, eat breakfast any Saturday or Sunday, and earn DOUBLE POINTS!

Unlike those politicians in Washington, my administration has vowed to listen to each and every constituent, from the once-a-month diner who orders a salad and a glass of water to the regulars who spend a good chunk of their paychecks on food and drinks every NFL Sunday. What you have said is that you want lower prices! So, I have LOWERED OUR PRICES!

Check out our new menu, and you’ll see that we listened to you! All of your favorite entrees are still there – they just cost less.

This reminds me of a young girl who came up to me on the campaign trail and said, “Mr. P, why don’t you serve breakfast? My family loves to eat breakfast together every Sunday morning.” Well, to that little girl, I say, “WE ARE LISTENING!”

BREAKFAST MENU...

Come in on any weekend day, and enjoy an All-American breakfast that no other candidate can offer – from Eggs Benedict to pancakes and everything in between, Tony P’s is the marina’s best spot for breakfast.

Democrat John Kerry has said that he is spreading the word about his campaign via the internet. Well, he has nothing on my administration.

I have appointed a new Secretary of Technology and launched a new first-class website for our restaurant. Visit www.tonyps.com and enjoy all the latest information about both the restaurant and Tony P’s Tavern. Check out our menus! Find out how your school can hold a fundraiser at Tony P’s! Get the latest information on booking your next party with us!

And speaking of parties, whether you’re having a Democratic Party or a Republican Party, Tony P’s is the place. Our Secretary of Parties knows exactly what you need to pull off the greatest rehearsal dinner, bridal shower or baby shower ever. Unlike some previous presidents, I’m not afraid to talk about our affairs! If it’s a corporate meeting or a bachelorette party, I want you to have your next affair with us!

Call Tony P’s today, and let’s talk about having an affair!

IN THE TAVERN...

Like our dining room, we are listening to our tavern patrons. My administration has made it a point to bring its constituency all the best.

So, I am proud to announce the addition of a new beer to our cabinet: Harp Lager: Harp is a premium lager brewed in the continental style; a medium to light body and medium alcohol. Recognized for its crisp, clean taste with a distinctive edge.

I am also pleased to announce my latest appointee to our wine cabinet: a true American patriot, 2001 Mirassou Central Coast Merlot. Displaying fresh fruit flavors of dark plum, cherry,and blackberries, balanced with elegant toasty aromas and hints of spice, Mirassou Merlot is a bright expression of California most celebrated growing regions.

I was also proud recently to host four American icons right here at Tony P’s (I’m the little one in the middle!). The Fearsome Foursome, perhaps the finest defensive line in the history of the NFL, joined me for a special reception to help raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. I want to thank Deacon Jones, Rosey Grier, Lamar Lundy and Merlin Olsen for their continued support – these guys win the award for class!

And speaking of awards, we will be having an outrageous party for all of our constituents the night they hand out all those little statues to the actors – starting at 4 p.m., Feb. 29. Copyright laws prohibit me from saying the name of the event, but it rhymes with the ROSCARS! Watch on the big screens and enjoy contests, specials and giveaways!

As a country and as a Tavern, we have to look ahead. That is why I want to invite each and every American to a very special event that will engage Americans from sea to shining sea – March Madness. I vow that Tony P’s will show each and every NCAA Tournament game on our big screen TVs. From little Gonzaga to perennial powerhouses like Duke, Kansas and Louisville, you can catch all the action at Tony P’s!

|I am excited about the prospects for 2004, and I’m going out on a limb to make the following campaign promises.

• All-you-can eat fish and chips from Mardi Gras to Easter for just $13.95
• Succulent, slow-roasted Prime Rib every Friday and Saturday night for just $21.95
• A St. Patrick’s Day extravaganza featuring the best Irish dishes this side of Dublin.

I will not fail you! Thank you for your support! God bless Tony P’s!

And God bless America!
