Sydney at Bistro in a Box writes in…

On behalf of Bistro in a Box Catering Company, I am writing to inform you that we are no longer offering a discount for City of Decatur employees. However, we will extend our Agnes Scott College discount to Decatur blog owners if they come by and introduce themselves.

I can’t wait for all the emails from city employees asking if they can accompany me to Bistro in a Box posing as my spouse.

A few notes from around the city…

• According to the Decatur Minute, Leon’s Full Service is now open for lunch daily at 11:30a (except Monday).
• Also from the Minute, Greene’s is offering 40% off all in-store purchases today in honor of one of the owners birthdays.
• As was noted in a recent post, Cafe Cliche is now open for business in the old Indie Coffee & Books space and is serving Button Cakes Bakery cupcakes.
• Next Stop notes that Bistro in a Box will have weekly food and wine tastings on Saturday from 12p-6p.  “Some of our usual offerings include basil crusted chicken, peppercorn flank steak, hummus, a cheese display, spinach and artichoke dip, and other menu items that we are developing. It is all free and open to anyone.”
• According to Daily Candy, The Cookie Studio has new weekend hours (Sat 12p-5p)
• Tastings will be featuring live music on Saturday nights from 8:30p-10:30p.  This Saturday Jeff Soileau will be playing ambient instrumental acoustic guitar.

Anything else?

By now, I’m sure most folks have seen Bistro in a Box open in the Trackside strip along College Ave and wondered to themselves or a hungry spouse, “What kinda food do they have in there and how can I try it out?”  Well now owners Kevin and Dionne McGee are opening their doors to the community with an official Grand Opening on Friday May 8th and Saturday May 9th!

Along with a chance to meet and welcome the owners to the neighborhood, Bistro promises “an array of complimentary appetizers, entrees, salads, delectable menu items, and featured wines”, along with “fun raffle drawings and door prizes.”
