The Latest News from Andes Businesses

From our shameless self-promotion department: Delaware County Economic Development is sponsoring a series of videos about startup businesses shot by Hamden filmmaker Jessica Vecchione.

Jessica asked us to be one of three web-based businesses (along with Aisle 8 and IndiePay in Delhi) featured in the first installation of "EntrepreneurZone," which just came out today. Check it out, above. (And please excuse our messy house!) 

We had a great time getting interviewed about journalism, bootstrapping, and the perks of starting a business in the rural Catskills. One note: Lissa Harris, our editor, is a shareholder of the Margaretville Telephone Company, which provides our internet service and which makes our web-based business possible. We gave them some love in the interivew.  

Tonight's special is Steak Frites with house-cut fries and chimmichurri.

Have you tried our Sangria yet? It's new! We also have house Lemonade and Iced Tea to quench your thirst.

Don't forget tomorrow we have Connie Mohar on the accordion, and weather permitting, outside seating with a reservation!

Hours:

Friday: 5pm - 9pm

Saturday: 11am - 3pm (Lunch) | 5pm - 9pm (Dinner)

Sunday: 11am - 4pm (Brunch) | 5pm - 9pm (Dinner)

What's good tonight:

The Spring Vegetable Galette is a mix of broccolini, mushrooms, asparagus, fiddleheads, and Dirty Girl goat cheese in a little pie. Tasty stuff and sized just right for an appetizer. 

Hanger Steak is prized for its flavor. We serve it with chimmichurri and house-cut fries.

The sweet tooth in me is most excited about our Rhubarb Sponge Cake. The cake is served with strawberries and a rhubarb compote, along with fresh whipped cream -- a perfect end to a fantastic dinner!

This is a great night to mosey on over to The Backroom for sunday dinner: We're featuring the accordion stylings of Connie Mohar! He plays most genres of music, takes requests, and drives a sweet purple Charger.

What's new? The Eggplant Napoleon -- layers of fried eggplant, mozzarella, and tomato served with buttered pasta. If Eggplant isn't your thing, you could even have our Backroom Burger with tilsit cheese and Gladstone beef.

What are your plans for Memorial Day? We're open for lunch tomorrow from 11am to 3pm, serving Ma Gee's Fried Chicken, Kansas City Spare Ribs, and burgers.

The Kansas City Style Burnt Ends features double smoked brisket with house BBQ sauce, grits, and collard greens! Perfect to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend!

Our Moroccan Lamb is delicious and tender -- lamb stew with, yogurt, eggplant, and a spice blend served over saffron rice. Delicious, and not your every day sort of fare.
