It's that time of the year again! Be sure to vote La Fogata for your favorite Mexican Restaurant on the beach. Don't forget to click on the Kitty Hawk location!

We tend to hang on to our wait staff for what seems to be decades. It is rare that a spot opens but this being 2020 all normalcy is gone. Here we are mid-October and we are in need of staff.
Wait staff.

1) Experience in a busy restaurant is a must. Serving hot dogs on Coney Island is impressive but not the kind of busy we mean.
2) People skills needed. If you run back to the kitchen and complain that, “table eight needed more ice tea, can you believe it!” or something to that effect for every table, means your fried and don’t need to apply (or wait tables for a least a few months).
3) Be available to work day or night, weekends, and holidays. We are flexible, but requesting Saturdays Sundays and every federal holiday off will not cut it. It may also get you shived by a fellow wait.
4) You must get along with your fellow workers. We have a great staff of friendly people but they will vote you off this “restaurant island” in a heartbeat.
5) A reference will help tremendously. If you left 3 out of the last 4 jobs under a dark cloud chances are it is you not the A$$hole bosses. Bosses who do not understand “you show up late but get your side work done in 10 minutes and that’s why you are on a smoke break so early”. No, it’s you.

If you would like to apply please email lostcolonybrewery@gmail.com, reference Sharon and the job.

Thanks

TWO NEW BEERS coming out this week!

A Proper Stout (6.5% abv) and Honey Saison — Come on by and check them out. Not to mention: You better try the Oktoberfest and the historical brew Gratzer before they're gone!

Love a leisurely late dinner? Ocean Boulevard Bistro & Martini Bar seats for dinner until 10 p.m. nightly (through Daylight Savings Time). With so many restaurants closing early, we have noticed a marked increase in late diners.

Our menu has shifted into some fall menu items, and one that is very noteworthy is our new Duck Breast Dish with Chestnut Flour Spaetzle, Seared Brussels Sprouts, Duck Leg Confit, Sweet Potato Puree + Alpine Meadows Honey. Trust us: It's awesome, and it pairs well with a substantial Cabernet or Syrah!

CUSTOM BIRTHDAY CAKES! Muffins and Scones is more than a coffee shop and restaurant. Our bakery prepares custom cakes and desserts for all occasions or just to brighten someone's day. Stop by our Avon location or call (252) 968-5109. We are open daily from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This week's DATE NIGHT DINNER features Cabernet-Braised Slow-Roasted Beef Short Ribs served on Sweat Pea Parmesan Risotto topped with a Cabernet Sauce. Our House Sommelier has paired this with a 2017 Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano with aromas of brandy-soaked plums and cherries and vanilla, dill and sandalwood on the nose. The palate of this wine is thick in feel, built up by a host of oaky flavors. It pairs amazingly with this dish.

Join us this Friday, October 16. Call (252) 995-5550 for your reservation.
