We can’t think of a better way to celebrate Mothers Day than to take that special woman down to Chef Point Café for our special Mothers Day dinner.  We don’t want to spend this entire article listing everything that Chef Franson is preparing for this meal but allow us to give you a sampling that you might choose.

Start off with some Escargo, then follow that up with a nice, fresh Garden Salad.  Your next course could be a delicious Lobster Bisque followed by a main course of Duck or Smoked Prime Rib.  Finish off your meal with bread pudding or Chocolate Mousse and it all adds up to a memorable meal with your Mom.

Of course there are many other choices on the menu so rest assured that no matter what you choose it will be a meal Mom will remember for a very long time.

Another suggestion we have is to buy Mom some Chef Point Café gift cards so she can head on down to our Fort Worth restaurant and have a lunch with her girlfriends.  The gift cards are available online or you can purchase them the next time you visit our family restaurant.

One final suggestion: how about buying Mom a ticket to the May Wine & Dine taking place May 22^nd.  This is a fabulous event which is held monthly and this year it will feature a four-course Chilean meal which includes four wines from Concha Y Toro Winery in Chile.  These monthly Wine & Dine events have been heavily attended in the past few months so make sure you call in your reservation soon so Mom doesn’t miss out on it.

We sure hope to see you either on the 13^th or the 22^nd but whatever you do make sure you take time out to show that Mother of yours how special she really is.  We are talking about a woman who unselfishly bathed you, fed you and cleaned up after you for many years.  At least once a year we need to step up and say thank you in a very special way.

March Madness

You do know what March Madness is, right?  Sixty-eight teams battling it out for college basketball supremacy?  Games are seemingly being played daily across the United States and we think we have a great idea for you: why not come to our family restaurant this weekend and avoid all of that hullabaloo?  If you stay home you are going to have nothing on television but basketball this weekend as the Regional Semifinals are being played the 22-23 and the Regional Finals are being played the 24-25; in other words, four straight days of basketball of television.  Don’t you think you deserve a break with a great meal like Better-Than-Sex Fried Chicken and one of our house wines?

The First Day of Spring

Tuesday the 20^th is the First Day of Spring and what better way to ring in the new season than with a great soup and salad combo?  Try our Florentine Tomato Soup and Caesar Salad and while you are eating you can daydream about planting that flower bed in a few weeks.
