We had a huge event yesterday at MetroFresh Uptown celebrating the building's new owners/my new landlords. It's awesome when you have a new relationship that starts of with a bang! As it happens, the new owners are a local concern that is run by an old friend/customer, who has been a MetroFreshual since the early days.
When we first started serving breakfast, I was approached by a couple of guys, who were a little younger than me, asking if they could come to MetroFresh once a week with a group of Iman Middle School and Grady High School Dads. Apparently they had been not so nicely asked to vacate a local VA/HI coffee establishment and were looking for a new home. I was thrilled to welcome them and for years, while their kids matriculated jr and sr High School, they met once a week for coffee and conversation. It was always my favorite day of the week. I remember hearing their voices and laughter emanating from the dining room as I finished up the day's menu in the kitchen and feeling like I was hearing voices and laughter of my dad and his friends. It always brought a smile to my face, and made me happy as I realized that MetroFresh was the kind of place where the warmth of laughter and kindness had a home.
So all these years later, it's awesome to have a new landlord at MetroFresh Uptown who "gets it." The event yesterday was great with lots of energy, great music from our favorite DJ Eclectic, and, of course, amazing food.
Come see us today. I have a Manhattan Style Lobster Chowder on the menu. It's more of a red/brothy/lighter chowder. Super yummy.
