Hello Dear Friends:

Wow, we really loved the Holidays. The shushing and the pot sing, the family love, the freeze and snow. But we have to admit, we are so glad to be getting back to whatever one might call "normal".

We encourage any of you guys to go look at our lovely future site at Eskenazi. We will be located right in the front area of our beautiful hospital in the midst's of the fountains and gardens. Even though we aren't there just yet, every day we are getting closer and closer and the crew has been working non stop at constructing the lovely building.

When you visit us at The Kitchen, please try to park across Illinois Street in the New Liberty Missionary Baptist Church lot. It is much appreciated by our building.

This week we have:

Hello Dear Folks:

DUOS Mobile is going out to Eskenazi this week! We will be parked in front of the hospital Tuesday December 31st, Thursday, Jan 2 and Friday 3rd. The kitchen will be closed on New Years day, but we will be open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, ready to serve you. Breakfast 7-10 and Lunch 11-2 pm.

Chefs John and Becky are busily pondering the new menu for Eskenazi as well as bringing those changes to the Kitchen. We will be offering around 10 Special Sandwiches and the fixings to make most any sandwich combo your little heart desires. Eskenazi will also have a nice selection salads from House Greens, Cypriot, to Grain salads, Legumes, Fruit and some Standards(which means new side options for the Kitchen...everything will be going A la Carte!). Soups will be on hand for that is one of our favorite things and a bounty of Sweets from our Pastry Chef, Julie.

On another note, parking is sometimes an issue at Duos Kitchen and we want to remind all of you that there is ample parking right across Illinois Street between 29th and 30th in the New Missionary Baptist Church lots. It is really no further than the front parking lot and the great folks in our building appreciate our customers parking there.

Hello Dear Folks:

We don't mean to be sappy, but the Duos Gang would like to take a moment to express our gratitude to each and everyone of you for the support, enthusiasm and adventurous spirit that you share by being a part of our community. We love what we do and certainly hope that is communicated through the food that we have the honor to create.

The coming year is highly exciting with our lovely new establishment at Eskenazi Hospital. We are so very thrilled about the opportunity and will keep you posted as to when our happy location will be ready to serve. We should be up and running toward the end of January.

On another note, parking is sometimes an issue at Duos Kitchen and we want to remind all of you that there is ample parking right across Illinois Street between 29th and 30th in the New Missionary Baptist Church lots. It is really no further than the front parking lot and the great folks in our building appreciate our customers parking there.

DUOS Mobile WILL NOT (this is a change of plans) being going out to Eskenazi next week. It just makes sense with the Christmas Holiday falling right in the middle of the week. So, come see us at the Kitchen. We will be open Monday, Thursday and Friday, ready to serve you. Breakfast 7-10 and Lunch 11-2 pm.

Hello Dear Friends, Family and Kind Supporters:

We certainly hope that all of you are snug and warm and taking time to enjoy the spirit of the season. Last week we had the pleasure of making one super fun cake: Snow on the Mountain. A fruit and nut concoction that is shaped like a mountain and covered in whipped cream and coconut embellished with little skiers and trees. So much fun to see, more fun to eat.

It will not only be the Grey Gardens First Friday, but the fantastic Indieana Handicrafts exchange with a ton of fantastic vendors selling a plethora of lovingly and creatively crafted gifts that will thrill any recipient!!!
