Three-thirty in the morning, seven days a week, comes early at the Damron household so Gloria and her husband of 32 years, Mike, can get to the restaurant and get things started before the doors open at 6 a.m. And then it’s nonstop for Gloria and her small staff: prepping, cooking, welcoming, ordering, bussing, serving and cleaning til the last customer leaves about 2pm.
