Well, we did it! We made it through another busy summer
season, mostly unscathed! We cannot believe how many people walked
through our doors in July and August (20,325 to be precise), and sold a
lot of burgers (2,762 to be precise). It was the summer of broken
things...our fish fryer went kaput so we had no fish and chips,
calamari, or fried oysters for 3 weeks as the new one was on it's way.
Our deck heaters all decided to be on the fritz within days of each
other (luckily it was a hot summer!), the walk in refrigerator had
problems off and on, and countless other little issues...and yet somehow
we managed to stay in good spirits (for the most part) and we are all
still standing! A special thanks to our locals who endure these few
months with us, who are patient when there might be a 1.5 hour wait, who
cheer us on and who rejoice when they get their restaurant back in
September. Thank you! And no thank you is big enough to our amazing
crew...seriously relentless shifts that they handled with grace!
Onto what's coming up:
We're wrapping up Washington Cider Week
this weekend. We are offering a cider menu with 3 ciders on draft and 6
by the bottle, featuring Snowdrift ciders. Snowdrift is a family run
cidery in Wenatchee, and one of the owners
lives right here in Langley. If you make it in be sure to order their
summer red on draft...it's out of this world!
Also this weekend, celebrate Arts Alive
on the streets of Langley. From 11-3 on Saturday, over 50 artists will
be demonstrating their talents. Click here for details

DJANGOFEST 2014 is just around the corner. Langley will be filled with music on street corners, restaurants, and
actual concerts and workshops throughout town...visit the WICA website
for all the details. www.wicaonline.com We will be hosting the Saturday night jam
session...after the show we'll plan on staying open until at least 1:30 and
serving a limited menu from 10 pm until at least midnight.
Be sure to call us for reservations...this is one of Langley's busiest weekends.
Slow Food Whidbey Island is presenting TASTE OF WHIDBEY on September 28th at Greenbank Farms from 1-4.
Lots of bites and sips from local restaurants, wineries, bakeries,
coffee roasters, all featuring local product. These tickets sell out
fast, so be sure to order yours today at www.brownpapertickets.com or contact taste@whidbey for an auto response of ticket seller locations on the island. Because Georgie at Willowood Farms told us she has a plethora of "toddler head sized beets" we will be preparing beets 3 ways. Hope to see you there!
Here's a little video from last year's event...look for the cute kid in the yellow penguin sweater...that's our youngest. http://whidbeytv.com/a-bite- |
