Doing a Year at Wilde Oscar�s
Reason d�etre � The Caf�:
Life�s Purpose.
A pastry (try the layered pie)
A conversation w/ spirit
with spirits (Irish Stout?)
with the Spirits?
They would prefer WR to the Nether World
and with a Fahrenheit more familiar.
Did I forget the WR blend?
The French toast? Unpronounceable but good.
The French, too,
are welcome here, and Republicans,
being an inclusive place.
And � did you know? — the Big O –
Yes, reportedly has had a sighting.
But that was late,
and circumstances, suspect.

JB for the Ides of March Eve 2005

Dean and Jason are very busy getting ready for our first year anniversary events. The biggest changes are coming in the area of the menu. They took all the feedback and are keeping the favorites and making some new favorites. You will also see some changes in the look of our staff uniform. Come by in the mid-week in March to see the changes.

Don’t forget this Saturday night is the first time you can check out the new musical The Wild Party. The cast is coming to the cafe at 8pm to sing several numbers from the show…”We are having a wild, wild party!”

OK..this has nothing to do with the cafe….other than it seems sort of gay and is VERY funny!

Coming Soon to our site: KARE 11 Today. Actually what is happening is our web guy (Brian)is uploading the TV segment to the site. So, you will be able to see Jason make the crab cakes on your computer. Oh, yeah…and Jason is book again on KARE 11. This time on a Saturday show with Belinda- April 23rd.

Ever wonder how Dean and I were able to come up with the money to start the Wilde Roast Cafe? Well, the people at Fresh Cup used our story for part of an article on financing a coffee shop called: Calling All Angels. Check it out: http://freshcup.com/ (The author used our corporate name of Coffee Time).

Our sincerest “Thanks” goes out to Pat Evans and Roxane Battle of the KARE 11-Today Show. Our Chef Jason was on the show this past Friday and made a crab cake salad. We showed about 10 of our dishes and were helped with the display by Fiori Flowers. We noticed that the flowers were not on camera very long so I asked Roxane if she could mention them at the end of the show. She and Pat skiped the “What’s on Monday” section to talk about the flowers and plug Fiori…YEAH! If you want to make our crab cakes at home….check out the site on: http://kare11.com/mornings/kare-today.aspx
