November 14 Newtown Festival

Happy Birthday BlackStar!

Two years ago we opened our doors for the Newtown Festival so when it rolls around again I’m always in an exceptionally good mood. This year it was exceptionally hot and ice tea and summer lattes were the big hits of the day. I love to reminisce on the early days. There was no telling how busy we were to become, frankly, we haven’t had a spare moment for two years and I feel I have the people of Newtown and all our other customers to thank for that.

I did a gozleme run to the festival for staff meals and had to make my way back with a triple stack. That drew tons of attention I can tell you.

So what’s in store for the year ahead? More innovative food, lighter, healthier options, more organic ingredients, maybe a few techniques from molecular cooking. Can’t wait to see it unfold…
