The Crack Shack Opening In Encinitas On Monday – BEST NEWS EVER!!

Finally!

I’ve been waiting a long time for this day.

The Crack Shack opens up their Encinitas location on Monday the 13th, and I could NOT be happier! Anyone that knows me will tell you that I have single-handedly introduced about 100 people to the Crack Shack in the last year because I’m such a vocal fan.

I’m quite sure my doctor would tell me that I have consumed way too many orders of fried chicken, deviled eggs, and slaw since I discovered the original location…but I’m about to throw it into a new gear now that there will be a Crack Shack closer to my office and home!

The space looks really great, and of course will have the communal tables, bocce court, and chicken statue that we love from the original location.

Well, starting at about noon on Monday…you’ll know where to find me!
