Well, if you weren't there for all of the excitement you must be sure to visit sometime soon. The cafe expansion, new menu, fabulous entertainment, and a long list of specialty beeers you must try are on the horizon. </div><div><br /></div><div></div><div>With over 700 entries to choose from we definitely had our hands full, yet <strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Zest</span></strong> stood out among all. We then had 26 people who chose <strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Zest</span></strong> as a name, so we had a drawing to pick the winner and....:Scott Collis was the winner winner chicken dinner! </div><div><br /></div><div>We do want to thank everyone who participated, and obviously great minds think alike (reason why there were so many <strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Zest</span></strong> entries). We couldn't have chosen the name without all of you, and are so excited for the many more events, LIVE performances, and fun evenings <strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Zest</span></strong> will have! </div><br /><div>So, who wants to see some pictures of this event?

Of course it's covering the wonderful Sean Minor event we had last night at the Lemon Tree. We can't say it enough; thank you to everyone that came out, and for whomever missed it; we want to do more events like this one.<br /><br />The most important factor about this event, as always, is bringing great people together to eat delectable food, and drink even more amazing wine. I know we go on about this all the time, yet we couldn't do any of this without you, our fabulous staff, and a bit of sanity ( yes just a bit).<br /><br />Sean Minor was an excellent host and educated us all (thank gosh) on how to appreciate wine. Next, we have the chefs who prepared the succulent six-course meal we undoubtedly feasted on. Finally, the servers that presented our wine and food did a fabulous job as well.<br /><br />So, let's stop all the chatter, and take a look at the awesome pictures taken last night by Nancy Dunlop. We want to thank you Nancy. The pictures truly capture the essence of the evening.lemon treehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02902415807232470612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705741162712396874.post-57104971861668888302011-02-18T11:23:00.000-08:002011-02-18T13:13:54.721-08:00Ode to Lemon Tree Fans..<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh96QxJAzT3aVBnZXS1gSiEJRGx2QTxnXptjXmySWiqSK5kKbBpFEsZ-MksmV-POEXejWkeEij1W8T5S8RqGRGQElkfphciCR2Gs-2CNiI8Tgdv3kdr7bphyphenhyphenHVqKHgVkyKeD1HTbCglm3w/s1600/LTcafe.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Ls86X_-8txjzw95HT7CDqnbG2dhg9XPUzcQl3lt3hJqTXWnIhCWCtGcw1KZKHxSzAbwzJXDKcD41n8Th4lL6-eDHwzmBUSa9woA87xqDSPJeXCo9Mz3gPWSV6cUDBLyAKAMN14Sro3E/s1600/LTcafe.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Ls86X_-8txjzw95HT7CDqnbG2dhg9XPUzcQl3lt3hJqTXWnIhCWCtGcw1KZKHxSzAbwzJXDKcD41n8Th4lL6-eDHwzmBUSa9woA87xqDSPJeXCo9Mz3gPWSV6cUDBLyAKAMN14Sro3E/s320/LTcafe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575138883071099330" border="0" /></a><br />Who loved the <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Chicago</span> blizzard we literally had 2 weeks ago? Maybe you had a day off work to drink a few 10 beers, made an amazing snowman (whom is now a puddle), or had fun shoveling out your parking space (which you decorated with your child-hood rocking chair in order to claim your spot) Then, how cold was it last week...20 below zero? So why am I wearing <span style="font-weight: bold;">ONLY</span> a long-sleeved shirt out today? huh...Oh we live in the Midwest I forgot;) Well, let's hope this sunshine is here to stay, and that nobody pissed the groundhog off enough to lie to our loving faces!<br /><br />You all know what this means for <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;">Lemon Tree</span>: closer to opening the patio up! Yes! Also, we have our newly opened cafe that everyone must experience. So, everyone wants to know when the winning name will be chosen:<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">March 12th</span>! You think it's going to be you who is $300 richer in <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Lemon Tree</span> cash?

Yet, instead of boycotting it because we at no cost want to do the <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cheese </span>head's (dare I mention their name) any sort of favors than we already did; we should take this chance to demolish and devour all sorts of cheese. We need to show those <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Cheese</span> head fans that we know there are more types of<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> Cheese</span> than Cheddar and American..(I know it's hard to believe, yet shockingly true)<br /><br />Therefore, I'd like to introduce <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">Stephanie </span>Link from Lemon Tree; who is also known as: the <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Cheese</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Monger</span>! Yep, that's right: she likes her name, and she's sticking to it. So, let <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">Stephanie </span>tell you about her cheese experience, and see if you can withhold yourself from falling in love with <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">cheese</span> all over again!<br /><br />Here's <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">Stephanie</span>: I grew up in VERY southern Illinois, about 20 minutes from Paducah, KY. I graduated from high school there and briefly attended college at <span style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1296740857_0">Murray State University</span>. I then moved to <span style="cursor: pointer; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1296740857_1">St Louis, Mo</span>. Then, in 2001 I moved to this area to be near family. I've worked in the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1296740857_2">food industry</span> my entire life, I've been a roller skating carhop, a server, bartender, prep cook, hostess, manager pretty much everything.<br /><br />About 5 years ago I decided to attend culinary school and after a bit of research I decided on the <span style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1296740857_3">Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago</span>. After school, I started working at <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1296740857_4">Sam's wines and Spirits</span> in the Gourmet Market. While working there I learned a LOT about <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">cheese</span>. I studied all of the different kinds of <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">cheeses</span>, where they come from, what pairs best with wine or beer or food. How to cook with it, How to make the perfect <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">cheese</span> plate. In the meantime I had taken a management job at a restaurant and wasn't too excited about working there.I found the <span style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1296740857_5">Lemon Tree</span> ad on <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1296740857_6">Craigslist</span> and the rest is history. Here at the Lemon Tree I'm trying to create a place where people can come to buy REALLY good <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">cheese</span>. We do lots of sampling, <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">cheese</span> and wine pairing, beer pairing, <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">cheese</span> plates.<br /><br /><br />Now for the reasons on why I love <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">cheese</span> so much: First, the reason I love <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">cheese</span>...It's fascinating. Like most people in the US, I grew up thinking <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">cheese</span> came in "singles" and made great sandwiches.When I started to learn about all the <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">cheeses</span> that are available, I was hooked. I'm a bit of a dork and wanted to learn all I could, I read books, did online research, I learned all I could about the <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">cheese</span> making process. I learned how <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">cheese</span> is made, what it's made of, how long it takes to make. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cheese</span> is a living organism, there are so many steps in the process that have to go just right or it doesn't work.<br /><br />Now, I want to share what I've learned, I want everybody to love <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">cheese</span> too, and there is something for everyone. Nearly every country in the world produces some sort of <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">cheese.</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Cheese</span> tastes good, it's nutrient dense, it helps build strong bones and teeth. You can eat it at any stage of a meal, from appetizer to dessert. There are a million reasons to eat <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">cheese</span>. What are some of the reasons you love <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">cheese</span>?lemon treehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02902415807232470612noreply@blogger.com0
