We start underwriting spots on KUT this Tuesday, so I want to welcome anyone who has found their way here as a result of those spots.  If you generally come in only for lunch or breakfast (or maybe you just hadn’t thought about us in a while), we want to let you know about the Farm to Table bistro dinners we’re cooking on Wednesday through Saturday evenings at our Rio Grande cafe.

Just in case you hadn’t heard, we started cooking dinners several nights a week beginning in August of last year.  We serve a casual bistro menu that combines many of our culinary interests—in particular, our interest in the techniques of traditional French country and Mediterranean cooking.  We place primary emphasis on Alice Waters’ dictate to go forth and find fresh, simple, nutritious foods that that are produced locally using responsible, sustainable methods.   For more about our nascent nighttime restaurant venture, you can go to History.

The menu changes – generally weekly – depending on the weather, season, etc.  The dinner menu generally gets updated on Wednesday afternoons.  By then, Ben has done most of our shopping (at Boggy Creek and the afternoon Farmer’s Market at the Triangle) at which point we finalize the menu and I (with a little luck) put it up on the site.  You can also sign up for our email list (in the right sided column), and I will send you our menu when it comes out.

If you’d interested in joining us this weekend, you might want to email us (reservations@texasfrenchbread.com).  June has been fairly slow, but a lot of folks seem to be back in town and we already have reservations coming in for Friday and Saturday.  Feel free to call us if you have any questions, and we hope you can join us for dinner soon.

best,

PS – Congratulations AR on a truly awesome match Sunday.   It’s going to be that much sweeter when you beat that guy the next time out.
