Boy do I have news to share with you this month.

After 15 years in business in St. Helena, Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen is closing. The wonderfully historic building which houses the restaurant has been sold. CBK is the first restaurant I opened by myself and is like a "second home" to many neighbors and friends. It has been a rewarding journey and now the building will go forward into its next transformation.
 
The last day of business is Saturday, July 7 so please come in to say good-bye to our incredible staff. This will be your last time to enjoy the Curried Chicken Salad, Mighty Meatloaf, Pollo Loco, Hot Miramonte or Duck Burger not to mention the Campfire Pie or the Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Jim will add daily specials featuring CBK favorites over the years. Make a reservation or just drop by to say farewell.
 
I want to thank the fantastic staff and all of our loyal customers for the years of precious support, encouragement and love. It has been a great run.
Mustards Grill  
On Pair Off Pour Off Friday's at Mustards Grill we continue with menus from my cookbook library. In July Michael will feature dishes from Korea, Thailand and Burma. Enjoy the culinary pleasures of Asia paired with delicious wines that complement the food. This is one of my favorite cooking regions of the world and I can't wait to taste these delights.
Farewell PK
After 12 years at Mustards, Patrick Kellaher is leaving to embark on new adventures. I want to thank PK for his many years of dedication, hard work, passion and leadership. Patrick is a General Manager-Partner and will be missed by staff and customers alike. I wish PK the very best as he explores new opportunities.
Recipe of the Month 
In tribute to CBK, the recipe this month is the popular curried chicken salad. It is a refreshing lunch or dinner entree during warm summer days and nights.
Happy Summer!
