AZUR Likes Slow Food


It seems that life continues to get faster and faster paced every day. Smart phones allow instant connection to information and one another. In the past, a meal was not just a time for eating but also a time for socialization. AZUR appreciates the social aspect of dining. We like to see our customers enjoying a good meal with family or friends over a longer period of time. Slow food is about slowing down and enjoying what you're eating as well as the company at the table. Think about all the memories centered around a table and food that not only looked good but tasted good. That is where AZUR derives it's enjoyment and satisfaction.

Running on All Burners!


April has been packed with special dinners, off site catering and post Keeneland racing fans. AZUR may need to rework how we handle the volume to better serve our expanding customer base. 2010 has really been a great year for AZUR and it just keeps getting better. Once again, we thank all our loyal fans, followers and friends. You make AZUR what it is. Two words - Thank you.

April & Keeneland Like Peas & Carrots

Keeneland opens tomorrow (April 2) in Lexington, Kentucky which is the unofficial start of spring in the Bluegrass. One could say that they go together like peas & carrots. Speaking of which, AZUR's Executive chef Jeremy Ashby recently shared his thoughts on the tasty American duo in the local newspaper. It's a quick read with some recipes as well. Check it out by following the link http://www.kentucky.com/2010/04/01/1206030/spring-means-its-time-to-plant.html

We'll see you on the patio!
