It’s no secret that the 319 Bistro soups are some of the best around – homemade and delicious. So, here’s a thought. Why not take home a container of this deliciousness for your dinner tonight? We’ll add a crostini and a fluff-a-doodle cookie. Tomato Basil and Burgundy French Onion are always on the menu. Today we’re featuring Wild Rice Chowder – royal rice blend, leeks, Vidalia onions, Yukon gold potatoes, and chorizo in a creamy bisque. Join us!

There’s no sugar coating the weather, FBFs. Mother threw us another curve ball, or should we say “snow ball”? But the good news is we made one of your all-time favorite soups - homemade parmesan chicken & wild rice blend. It’s packed with fresh vegetables, lots of chicken and fragrant, nutty rice. And what better time to indulge in one of our most popular homemade ice creams – Lemon Meringue. It’s made with freshly squeezed lemons, lemon zest, lemon curd and crème fraiche. Don’t let Mr. Crazy Weather keep you from having a relaxing lunch with your peeps. Brave the snow and join us!
