October is Here!

Ah, the joys of fall.

October is the month 2 years ago that we started working on what would become Starving Artist Cafe'. The space had been a Mexican restaurant before we took it over, and we had major, major work to do (to say the least!). Everything you see in the cafe' was built by hand, including the bars (built by Jo Wiggins, with the mosaics created by 3,4, and 5 year old children), and the wainscoting along the west wall are doors from a farmhouse on Chef Jason's farm in Gilette in southeast Arkansas. If you've noticed the chandelier above the bar (I don't know how you could miss it!), it was an attic find, and we've been told it's from the 1930's.

It's been a crazy couple of years, and I'm sure there's more to come. This time of year brings back lots of memories for us. Hope it brings back good ones for you, too.

Cheers!
