Thank God it's Saturday! We've made it through yet another week short-handed; one more night to go. We not only had a very busy week, we also did a catering for 175 people Friday night, as well as several other caterings during the week. You'd think Jason and I were in our twenties and not pushing forty. It's all in a day's work!

October is right around the corner, and we have lots of things coming up, including new artists, special shows, a new catering director, our "Night in Germany" wine dinner, and other exciting events. Hope to see you soon.

Cheers!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Happy Tuesday! Well, it's become a trend: Sous Chef Ryan is out, so it's me and Jason in the kichen again. Thank goodness for Annaliese (she's prepping the pickles right now).

Last night's Open Mic night was excellent-- readers included Janice Krasselt Tatter, Harding Stedler, and James Marsh. We are hosting the Open Mic nights the fourth Monday of each month. You can join our mailing list for weekly newsletters that detail what is happening and what is coming up.

While the rain makes it gloomy, my yard can certainly use it, so it's a mixed blessing today. Then again, isn't everything a mixed blessing??

Cheers!

It's Monday (all day)

We thought Sous Chef Ryan would be back today, but alas, he is not. So it's just Chef Jason and me in the kitchen again today. Good thing we get along well :)

You will also see our girls (Annaliese, 5 1/2, and Sophia, 3 1/2) in the cafe', helping out in both the front and back of the house. They take their work very seriously, and they are very proud to be helping us in the restaurant. Annaliese has learned how to use her knife to cut vegetables, and both girls have learned how to make bread in the morning. We homeschool the girls, and what better place to learn than here.

Here's to the start of a great week. Cheers!

Busy Weekend

It's Sunday afternoon, our only day off, and we're relaxing after a busy week. With Sous Chef Ryan out all week, Chef Jason worked double-duty, so he's pretty worn out. Paula helped out in the kitchen all week, and Chef Sarah came in Friday night for three hours (we couldn't have done it without her!).

We had a busy Friday night, and Stephanie Fox's music entertained everyone. Saturday night was fairly busy, too-- even with the Razorback game. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come.

We'll relax, recuperate, and recharge for our week ahead. Hope you can do the same. See you soon.

Cheers!

It was an interesting day yesterday with Sous Chef Ryan out. Chef Jason pulled it off (as usual), and I was some help in the kitchen, although certainly not enough. With my recent foot surgery I'm not up to par, but I can still make a good salad. It's on again today-- I'll be in the kitchen with Chef Jason, so say hi if you get a chance.

Koz had to cancel his lunch painting demonstration, so we won't have an artist. And we're starting to fill up for our wine dinner next Wednesday, so be sure to reserve your spot.

Bon Appetit!

You may notice a face missing at the cafe' the next couple of days: our Sous Chef Ryan was in a car wreck Monday night and will be out the rest of the week. Please join us in wishing him a speedy and healthy recovery.

I (Paula) will be stepping into the back of the house to help Chef Jason. If I'm too busy to chat, please drop me an email: catering@starvingartistcafe.net

Bon Appetit!

Welcome!

It's finally here-- our new blog that will have news of what is happening at the cafe', around town, and beyond. We'd love to hear from you! Tell us what you like, what we can do better, and what you'd like to see us do or offer. Cheers!
