Foley wine group has a local tie, so we're proud to feature these wines for this event. Here's the nitty gritty... We'll be pouring Curtis Heritage Cuvee Blanc, Three Rivers Chardonnay, Lincourt Pinot Noir, Kuleto Cabernet, Altus Cabernet, and Firestone Late Harvest Riesling. Dinner starts at 7:00, and reservations are required. $80 plus tax and gratuity. Call and book your spot today!

On Thursday, September 17th, join us at Aprons Cooking School on San Jose Boulevard for an evening of cooking from our new cookbook, Hip Asian Comfort Food.

Remember to book your table online and mention "RANGOON" in the notes to get your free order of Blue Bamboo's new Crab Rangoon appetizer!

Free Crab Rangoon at Blue Bamboo!

Recently Chef Dennis Chan's mentor, Ming Tsai, paid Blue Bamboo a visit and suggested that he add a Crab Rangoon to the menu. After a few recipe tests, he created a 100% lump crab and pure Philadelphia cream cheese Rangoon that would live up to his high Blue Bamboo standards. He'd like for you to try them... on him!

To take advantage of Blue Bamboo's offer to you, simply visit the website, www.bluebamboojacksonville.com, and book a table in June. Type "RANGOON" in the notes section of your reservation, and they'll take care of the rest.

So book your table soon, and do tell if you are as excited about their new Rangoons as they are.

Limit one offer per table per visit. Taxes and gratuity not included. Offer expires June 30, 2009. Offer valid with pre-booked tables only.
