where the wild things are...

Tonight the cafe@artspace hosted the Louisiana Restaurant Association. About 50 local restauranteurs and business owners were treated to a WILD night. Executive Chef Sydney Bell created a delightful menu that featured Caribou sirloin on a bed of wilted kale and drizzled with wild mushrooms. Sous Chef Eric Davis revived a classic with his take on a baked Alaska with homemade chocolate covered espresso bean sheep's milk ice cream. Now that was a mouthful that was a delicious mouthful. Tossing and turning wondering what to create for lunch tomorrow. I 've got it! you will have to come and see for yourself.

young proffessional to mob artspace tonight!

Tonight young proffessionals descend on artspace to sip mojitos, eat a little cuban fare, and bask in the glow of cuban art. I am told they will then be joining the hoopla that is unwinddowntown.
Thursdays will never be the same in downtown shreveport. We hope.

Black Angus Reuben is a hit!

Today the cafe@artspace was wild. Thank you downtown Shreveport. I am confident we fed you well. Our black angus reuben was a big hit and we sold all of the key lime pie. Miss Laverne from Boca Raton was right! Come see what you have been missing.

This week at the cafe@artspace

You have loved our Turkey Pastrami Reuben, try our traditional take on this great classic. Black Angus Pastrami Reuben with your choice of fresh fruit( a downtown favorite), homemade potato salad ( the tourist bureau's #1 pick), or potato chips. $5.00
Take a mini vacation with a slice of our Key Lime Pie! A little old lady from Boca Raton swore it was better than any she had back home. I believe her.
What better way to celebrate a sunny day than with homemade sorbet. I love the pineapple, the strawberry, and the blueberry. My favorite is the blueberry. Dont tell the others. The pineapple is sentive!

If that isn't enough to entice, come and see the exhibit. The Art of Cuba shouldn't be missed.
