Folks—

We’ll be honoring Jackie tonight, Wednesday April 6, from 5:30 to 8:30 here at Carmen’s Café, 198 First Street.

We ask you to bring a dish or drink to share— the extras are going to Joseph’s House, so disposable bowls are best.

Not a cook? Didn’t know Jackie? Don’t worry about it, come any way. You’ve probably tasted her food, if you’ve been around Troy. She cooked for everything and everyone.

But bring something, if you can. And don’t be afraid to take risks— Jackie often encouraged folks to just try it. If you get stuck, reach out to her and ask for some help. She’ll be there.

My favorite breakfast! Succulent Filet Mignon, grilled to perfection, with two Eggs Easy, Grilled Vegetables, and a savory Potato Pancake. And don’t forget the Mushroom Au Jus!

Easter Special, tomorrow till they run out: The finest GMO – free Filet Mignon, grilled to perfection, with Potato Pancake, Grilled Vegetables and Two Eggs cooked your style.

Carmen is pulling out all the stops, and as soon as I finish this post I’m tucking into this plate.

Yummmmm!

Huevos Tostados: two eggs on a fried flour tortilla, layered with home fries, vegan or chorizo hash, manchego cheese, ranchero sauce and lime cream; plus pico and salad on the side.

The flavors wash over your palate in waves, one subtle taste after another, in the best Cuban style.

Carmen’s Happy Pancakes topped with fresh Strawberries En Glacé and our fresh-made Whipped Cream

Fresh Yoghurt & Fruit

Homemade Yoghurt– and boy, is it creamy!

Drizzled with 100% Maple Syrup and paired with Fresh Fruit. A perfect topper for breakfast!
