Smoked Tomatoes For Eveyone.

Today at the Sparrows Cafe and Newstand, I will debut my smoked tomato soup. It has applewood smoked tomatoes, that were smoked by me, and grilled onions and pale ale in the base of the soup and that will be served hot. On top of the hot soup will be a cold spring onion, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, parmasan cheese, and garlic ravioli. It came out very good and all of the raviolies are hand made by me. Scratch cooking is GREAT!

The Famliy Von Cheetah

It just so happened that we all showed up for the Memorial Day BBQ at my mothers house and decided to take a picture. Ironically we were are dressed very similar to one another. I am the one with the Walrus Moustache.

The T-shirts are done man.

A picture of the screen that was used to print them.

I have some spare time.

Until we open, which could be some time from now, I would love to cater your cocktail parties, BBQ's, lunch meetings, or who knows what else. The possibilties are endless and I can go so far as grilling pizzas to order outdoors. I can cook anything, anywhere! I will even go so far as to cater Uranus.

Meanwhile at the Frushi Bar

Today I served up some Frushi at the Meanwhile, while the Bear Manor crew gave away plants.

The Purple Panda

After realizing that the Billy Goat's Soup turns purple when you add the beat chip to the top of it, it reminded me of the Purple Panda that appeared on the both Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and the Polka Dot Door children's shows. So I think I am going to make a version of The Billy Goats Soup with purple potatoes, so it will be light purple to begin with and then strategically add the beat chips in the formation of the purple panda's face. I have told a few people this and no-one knows who the purple panda is, so here is a picture of The Purple Panda being interviewed my Mr. MacFeely. You will notice the beet chips the panda.

Wealthy Street Spring Flung

It is over and there was sidewalk soup in the form of The Big Ragout. There were not as many people there as I would have liked, but it was still a lovely day, but quite windy. So windy in fact that my new sign that i just built was blown over twice.

I did meet some people who did not know what that Electric Cheetah was, and gained some fans by pumping them full of soup. This is what it looked like.

Sysco Test Dinner

I went to the Sysco test kitchen and they gave me some samples of thier "all natural" line of beef and here is a picture of the dinner that we had where we sampled some top sirloin, tenderloin, and NY strip loin. I liked the sirloin best, followed by the strip and last was the tenderloin. THe whole table agreed. But it was a nice dinner and thank you Sysco for the snacks.

The New Sign Holder

I made this so wherever I go I can have my banner behind us. It is made from two 2x2's that I stained black, two patio umbrella bases, one 2x2 that spans across the back to keep it tight, and if you look close, I put two little fleur de lis' on top of the poles. It looks good and it will be very functional for indoor and outdoor catering anywhere I want to fly my colors.

Mission Statement I Guess?

Declaration of Fancy Soup.

Yes We Can!

The Wealthy St. Fancy Soup Movement

What is The Wealthy St. Fancy Soup Movement you might ask? Well I'll tell you friend. It is the appreciation of soup, the love of soup, and the passion for not just having another bowl of salty bagged, frozen, or condensed canned soup. Weather it be a hot bowl on a rainy day, or a cold bowl on a hot day, The Wealthy St. Fancy Soup Movement expresses one's desire for artisan soup creations that are made fresh from scratch everyday using as much local, organic and quality ingredients available on the market. I vow to use my creativity, gather the best ingredients, and bring you the most unique texture, temperature, and flavor combinations served with a spoon on the side. Join The Wealthy St. Fancy Soup Movement and "Eat Fancy".

Electric Cheetah T-Shirts Coming Soon.

Here is what they will look like.

The Cheetah Trailer

So earlier this year, I was driving to Holland, and when I left the tail gate was on the trailer. It was very windy that day and when I got to Holland and stopped, the tailgate as gone. I have no idea what happened to it, I just hope that it popped off and slid to the side of the road and did not go through the front windsheild of someone's minivan.

I built a new tailgate today and since i use it most for the restaurant, I made a stencil and did this so it rules more...

Billy Goat's Soup

Staring tomorrow at the Sparrows, you can have some of this lovely, creamy, velvetly, potato and goat cheese soup. It has some roasted garlic in it and onions and I top it off with a crispy beeeet beeeet chip. It's Teats!

Meanwhile Bar Asparagus Bonanza!

It is a hit. If you did not make it, you missed delicious free grilled Michigan asparagus.

The sauces were most popular in this order:

1. Black and Blue

2. Charred Chili

3. Truffle and White Balsamic

4. Garlic Lemon Chive

5. Honey Date.

But, they all got eaten sprayed all over the top of 44# of asparagus, oh and Jana had a nice time too.

May 8, 2008 Concrete Blaster

They are blasting concrete into the forms today.

An email from the Electric Cheetah's No.1 fan.

From Sue Osgood:

"Gotta get some Cheetah Money
As a giftee for muh honey.
Out of work and not much dollars,
"Need a clever gift!" I hollers.

"Versary to celebrate,
Got no great idea. But wait...
I been checkin' E C site
Thinkin' Cheetah Bills just right.

Gift of promise, gift of taste:
Gotta get those bills post haste.
Take the hubby out for dinner
At the Cheetah -- what a winner!

Dine on food that's most divine
When it's Cheetah op'nin' time.
In the meantime, proud to say
Helped to fund in some small way".

Thanks for your words Sue!
