04/26/2021

Hello, Faithful Friends of the Rising Star,
I have news! The restaurant formally known as the Rising Star has been sold to a lovely new person. She has great plans to offer beverages, small plates and music. The new owner’s name is Micaela Chew. As she has some renovations coming, the plan is to reopen next spring. Please stop by and welcome her to the community and offer her the same unfailing support, that you have shown us over the many years we were there.
Ron is doing currently doing his thing in Park City, Utah, and I am teaching in Seattle. I will keep you all abreast of Micaela’s plans. Have a great summer.

Hello Everyone, Summer was awesome. Covid 19 was a nightmare. But it has been an absolute joy creating good old wholesome and nutritious food here at the Rising Star Cafe. You all have been truly amazing, and patient, We truly wanted to settle into a winter comfort cuisine and warm your bones through November, but alas, outdoor dining is fading. Our tiny inside dining room is simply not suitable for covid conditions that require social distancing. I loved every second of this abbreviated summer. And look forward to future endeavors. The last day of the season is Saturday 9/5/20 I hope we have brought happiness into your lives. Until than, EAT YOUR VEGETABLES ! Love to All.
