If you only know two things about the staff at 898 Marketing, it should be that we love the Youngstown community and we’re totally obsessed with food. It’s not uncommon to hear, “what should we do for lunch,” within an hour or two of coming into work (and sometimes, even the day before). Usually Brady hasn't even finished his morning bagel before the lunch discussions start. That’s where the idea for 89Ate was born.

Ruthless. Evil. Aggressive. Arrogant. Destructive. Sith Lord. And those are things I am called before lunch at my office!  (jk)   As the final installment of the Star Wars saga releases this week, much to the delight of Brady, Ryan, Bill, and me in our office, we all are trying to guess and figure out if we will see one character again.  No, he doesn’t have a beard that is long and white, suit that’s red and cap on head.
