Support Your Local Restaurant

"Actually, there is a very good reason. If everyone suddenly gives up restaurant-going when times are tough, those favorite restaurants may no longer be around when times get better. Which means it's a good thing, every once in a while at least, to give in to that cabin fever and go out for dinner.Oh, eating in every night is fun for a while. Cozy family meals on weeknights, dinner parties or potlucks on the weekends, pancakes Sunday morning. But then there's the shopping, the cleaning up -- the claustrophobia. Only you and your dear ones. And piles of dishes to wash up." [Los Angeles Times, S. IRENE VIRBILA, Restaurant Critic November 19, 2008] AZUR truly appreciates your support through the years.
