AZUR Welcomes 2010 with Numerous Opportunities

A little while ago, AZUR mentioned several opportunities that were opened to us but we wanted to be sure that these opportunities translated to real happenings before we shared them with you. First, we learned of the possibility of being invited by the James Beard Foundation to cook at Cookin' in the Bluegrass during the World Equestrian Games 2010. Well, Chef Ashby was invited to participate and has received confirmation that he will be cooking at the event. At the same time, Fred Wohlstein (AZUR co-owner) was nominated for the Kentucky Restaurant Association's Board of Directors. Recently, he was honored to learn that he had been elected and will begin serving in 2010. Then, AZUR is to be the featured restaurant in the inaugural issue of Sophisticated Living - Lexington which will make it's debut in January of 2010. This upscale magazine fits the cuisine and atmosphere of AZUR.

And finally, AZUR will be celebrating it's 5th Anniversary on New Year's Eve! All of which is a great beginning to 2010 and we look forward to even more ahead.
