Duke City Dish – Events and Happenings mid-March 2012
March 16th, 2012
I’m due for a “what’s happening” update!!!
Here’s what hit my radar recently. Chime in if you have more to offer or great restaurant news to share.
Restaurant marketing – so this is interesting and kind of cool. Two new companies based in Albuquerque hope to help restaurant clients make more money. One, Table Tents, works with their branding and social media strategy, and another, POSLavu offers iPad-based point-of-sale systems. The latter was even featured on the Gordon Ramsay “turn your restaurant around you f**king idiot” show.
New places opening up!
Vintage 423 – a high-falutin’ place that initially got mixed reviews, but maybe they’re coming around.
Zacatecas – in the Bumble Bees space. Same as Vintage 423 but with tacos. Hopefully service and execution are in line with the gourmet prices.
Farm and Table – ok, this one is watch-worthy. Fine casual dining in the North Valley with lots of fresh produce and not-crazy prices.
Other Press:
Enchiladas Loved by Canadians – found this cute round-up of local enchiladas in the Calgary newspaper. Those folks need some HEAT.




Yeah, the process is happening again, and whether or not you think James Beard House is a bunch of foodie hooey, recognizing talent is something that humans do well and feel good about.
