Good Day Fine Folks:

As we look forward to the arrival of a tiny bit of green appearing under the remainder of the frozen tundra, we are also having wonderful discussions with our Farmers about all the beautiful bounty they are working to provide. It has been a conundrum and an interesting challenge for us to offer locally sourced ingredients at a price that will work fairly for our customers. Frankly, we bring in what we can with hopes of always increasing the volume and variety of locally grown food. Most local farmers have primarily sold to high end establishments or directly retail at all of our great Farmers Markets, this enables them to make a living doing what they love. At Duos, we try very hard to keep a particular price point so more folks can enjoy fresh food that is affordable. This year, a number of Farmers are collaborating with us so that they can depend on our business and we can depend on the price. Good for Farmers, good for us and good for you. Just thought you might want to know.

PLEASE, park in the New Missionary Baptist Church parking lot located between 29th and 30th street on the west side of Illinois street. It is no further to walk and it is very helpful to the traffic issues here in our host building. We would be most grateful.

Here are some of the goodies Duos Kitchen is preparing for you this coming week:

Hello Dear Folks:

We are now offering locally roasted coffee! Copper Moon Coffee from Lafayette, Indiana, is our new roast and it makes us happy to be able to offer this to ya'll. Also, our dear friends at Harvestland Farms are still bringing us beautiful local arugula and spicy greens as well as tender pea shoots which can be found on some of our sandwiches and salads. Pea shoots are the tender tops and tendrils of of sugar or snow peas. They are beautiful, flavorful and packed full of nutrients including tons of vitamins C, K and B.

And, lastly but importantly, we know it is difficult in the frigid and testy weather, but please (it would be so very helpful) try to park in the church parking lot across Illinois street when visiting us. It will help reserve the IMG guest parking lot for visitors to IMG and those that really need proximity. Thanks a million.

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.

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.
