OUR LAST TWO WEEKS

Thank you to everyone who came out the last two weeks and over the years. We will miss all of you and most of all, miss cooking for you. We've made such good friendships. Here's a snapshot of the last two weeks:

PAIN

WHISK Cooking Class: French Bread

Ingredients:

6 cups high gluten bread flour

2 tsp dry active yeast

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 1/2 cups ice water

Directions:

Mix flour, yeast and salt with dough hook attachment. Slowly drizzle in water until you get a slightly tacky dough. Grease a bowl large enough to fit the dough, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The following day, remove dough from fridge, and allow to come to room temperature. Shape, and bake at 500 degrees until dark, golden brown. Spray the sides of the oven with water immediately after putting the bread in for a crispy crust. Once done baking (about 10-15 minutes), allow to cool before serving.

CAFE AEBY IS CLOSING

To all Cafe patrons and friends,

I am sorry to announce we will be closing the doors to the restaurant on August 29 for good. It has been a wonderful seven years, and we are grateful for all of you who have supported us and the restaurant.

Unfortunately, due to the current times, our business has been cut in half and is no longer financially viable. I wish I could name each and every one of you who has touched my heart, made me laugh and challenged me to try to be the best. The restaurant has changed so much since day one, and so many of you kept right there with us. To all of you, I sincerely thank you for your faithfulness.

We will be open for two more weeks, so you can still come in one last time and enjoy yourselves. I will be doing a few special dinners and cooking classes. Stay tuned to the blog for final event postings.

I will miss having the restaurant and having you to pour my soul into. Simply said, I will miss cooking for you.

All our love and appreciation,

Chris, Krystal and the rest of the Cafe Aeby family 

SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL: AUG. 15

Hi everyone,

This Saturday, August 15, I will be by myself in the kitchen. I don't want to close the restaurant completely, so we've decided to offer a special four-course menu at a very affordable price, similar to last month's. The dinner begins at 7PM. Seating is limited to 20 people, so reservations are required for that evening. Cost is $45. per person; wine pairing, additional $25. per person. The menu will be posted shortly, but you can pre-reserve your spot: (361) 225-0329.
