Harpin's Restaurant

Here I am! Back in Macon officially.

I have actually been back for almost 2 months now but I feel as if I am just now getting settled. My wife and I have been in the process of renovating a house and we are hoping to get moved in and settled before baby Keitt comes in October. Everything with the pregnancy has been moving along well and Candace is ready to have the baby NOW!

I have started working my new job and I am in the end of my third week. It has been quite an experience and I am very happy to be where I am.

Harpin's is the name of the restaurant where I am working and it is a fun place that is full of potential. The owner's are Paul and Hazel Harpin, who came to Macon many years ago from England. Paul is a classically trained chef that was brought to Georgia by the Capricorn record label(Allman Brothers, Otis Redding, etc.) to open a European style fine dining restaurant in Macon.

Paul has worked in Macon for 30+ years and started Harpin's 4 years as a working retirement. The restaurant was only supposed to do lunch items like sandwiches, soups, and salads. However due to popular demand the restaurant has started to open on Friday nights for dinner which is fun because there isn't a set menu so we can really cook whatever we want. Hope fully we may be able to expand further to more nights a week but we will have to see.

There is a lot to be done with what Paul calls "the little restaurant that could" and I am interested to see where we will be in a year from now.
