Hello friends,This is the week, the Grand Opening is drawing near and I am so excited to be able to share an evening with you in celebration of our brand new Dallas location!I sure hope you can join us and bring your friends for a fun evening of festive food and beverages from Sissy's Southern Kitchen & Bar and Annie's Bakery(soon to be our new neighbor on Henderson Avenue!)   

When thinking about the upcoming event, I should be worried about all kinds of things…dotting my i's and crossing my t's but all I can think of is how delicious the food is going to be! Seriously, have you ever had the pleasure of sweets from Annies? Have you ever had the pleasure of southern classics from Sissy's? Oh my goodness, both are out of this world and I am so delighted to be bringing to all of my guests just a small sampling of what is available from each of these women.

Annie is a long time friend of mine from whom I have been purchasing the "best sweets around" for many years! She is simply the best baker that I know and I wouldn't think of having anyone else do wedding & special occasion cakes, birthday cakes, cupcakes and cookies for my family and business events. I highly recommend her and am so excited that she is moving her business to Henderson in December!! How lucky can we get?

Lisa Garza, owner and executive chef for Sissy's Southern Kitchen & Bar, is a new neighbor and friend of mine here on Henderson. She is incredibly talented and so much fun! Every time I eat at Sissy's I am blown away by the menu items I have chosen. Each one better than the last. If you haven't been to Sissy's, I highly recommend that you go very soon and try the Fried Chicken! Better yet, come and dine on a Saturday morning and try the Chicken & Waffles…OMG! You won't believe your taste buds.

Here's a sneak peek of a few of the items Lisa will be providing on Wednesday….My Oh My...

Curry Deviled Eggs with cre'me fraiche and tobiko caviar

Squash Puppies with whipped Texas Honey Guild butter and jalopeno jelly

Pickled Shrimp marinated with onion, tomato and crushed red pepper

Doesn't this sound delicious??? I can hardly wait! And then there's the Apple Cider Whiskey Punch! The great part is that this is just a few of the festive food items that will be served during the evening. We haven't even talked about dessert? And I will save that one as a surprise :)

Hope you can join us in celebrating our new opening in Dallas. We look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday evening!

Surely you have been enticed by all this talk about the glorious food that will be there ;)

See you soon,

Kim
