Artisan Bread Returns to Emporium Wines & Underdog Cafe

By

Emporium Wines & Underdog Cafe is historically known for the smell of warm baked goods, and fresh, homemade artisan bread. Due to the demand on production, the option for freshly baked bread diminished, and the only way to acquire it was on sandwiches, and the occasional release of whole loaves.
Beginning on Thursday, August 11, 2022, Emporium Wines & Underdog Cafe will begin selling fresh artisan bread exclusively on Thursdays on a first-come first-served basis. Each week, the bakery will determine the type of bread that will be featured, and will present it on Thursday mornings while supplies last.
To help further promote homemade cuisine, the cold-cut sandwiches will be discontinued, and Healthy Choice Lunch Wraps will be added to the menu to include: Spicy Vegan Hummus, Zesty Tuna Salad, Crispy Three Cheese, Flavored Chicken, and more. These fresh in-house recipes will provide a variety of healthy choice lunch options for both on-the-go, and dine-in.
There will also be new a la carte breakfast menu options added. Starting on Thursday, August 11th, guests will be able to order scrambled eggs, bacon or turkey sausage patties, and a biscuit individually or together as a complete breakfast meal. This addition provides even more options and flexibility when ordering.
They have also updated their brewed coffee refill policy to reflect appreciation for our guests who frequent the Cafe Living Room. After the purchase of a first cup of any sized brewed coffee, a refill will only be $1.50. (Applicable on 8oz. 12oz. 16oz, or equivalent.)
Friday Nights at Emporium Wines & Underdog Cafe will continue to be wine tasting night.
Learn more about the Natural Wine process, and the benefits of organic options. Then, stick around to jam to the evening’s guest band.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I hope that 2011 has many great things in store for all of you!  Hopefully some of these events can help to make it that way!

On Wednesday, for a tasty dinner at a reasonable price, head to the Bonefish Grill for Bang Bang Shrimp Wednesdays, Sammy’s El Pueblo for their Fajita Dinner for 2 for $19.99, or Champps for their 9.99 Fajitas.  If you really wanted to eat fajitas and save money, you should go to Champps since you could get two fajita dinners for a whole penny cheaper…just sayin’.  Help promote the Five Rivers MetroParks’ Outdoor Recreation Department by attending their Volunteer: Street Tream Training.  And if you are environmentally conscious, attend the Environmental Film Series: End of the Line at Cox Arboretum…which is absolutely free!

On Thursday, enjoy a glass or two of wine along with your dinner at the delicious Coco’s Bistro where they have 1/2 Price Wine Bottles.  If you are in downtown Miamisburg, head to TJ Chumps for their Three Course Thursday-All Day and/or A Taste of Wine (which is right across the street) for their Wine Tasting.  Sorry, I may not be helping your New Year’s resolution to lose weight.  And in the evening, all you Dancing with the Stars fans will want to see Mark Ballas as he performs at McGuffy’s.

On Friday, after perhaps your first full week of working in a little while, head downtown for the First Friday Art Hop!  If someone asks you about the Riverscape ice rink, say “I’ll be there” so that you can enjoy the thrill of ice skating as part of the King of Pop Skate.  For a different style of music, join the Dayton Philharmonic as they perform ‘Titanic Brahms, Vibrant Liebermann’ at the Schuster Center.  Over at the Dayton Theatre Guild, see the show Ravenscroft.  And finally, up in Yellow Springs, head to Emporium Wines/Underdog Café for a Wine Tasting accompanied by live music.

On Saturday, head to the Yellow Springs Winter Farmer’s Market – just don’t tell any secrets because remember…a corn has ears!  While you’re there, bring some items that will help you de-clutter your house, items you would like to share with others, or an unwanted Christmas gift as part of the Really Really Free Market at Emporium Wines/Underdog Café in Yellow Springs.  I have never participated in anything like this, but it sounds like an awesome idea!  For more info, check out this link.  If you got engaged over the holidays and are trying to navigate your ways through all the wedding planning, head to the Dayton Bridal Expo at the Dayton Convention Center.  With the amount of food allergies on the rise, consider attending Dorothy Lane Market’s Gluten-Free Food Lovers’ Club: How to eat your way throughout the year.  And in the evening if you are downtown, head to RiverScape for their Star-Late Skate, the Dayton Theatre Guild for Ravenscroft, or the Schuster Center for ‘Titanic Brahms, Vibrant Liebermann’.  And if you decide to head over to McGuffy’s, you’ll be swinging, sliding, and perhaps doing a little bit of monkey barring as the 90s band Marcy Playground performs.

On Sunday, chase those winter blues away by heading to the Mu Crew Pool Party at the Holiday Inn Dayton Mall.  Over at the Dayton Art Institute, participate in the two T’s – Tour and Tea.  If you love to write, get a little help by heading over to Books & Co. for their Second Sunday Free Writers’ Workshop.  And finally, over at the Dayton Theatre Guild, if you haven’t already done so, be sure to check out Ravenscroft.

And now it’s time for the Dumb Joke of the Week. Drum roll please…

“Doctor!  Something’s wrong!  I’m shrinking!”

“Take it easy, sir.  You’ll just have to be a little patient.”

These are just a few best bets from the DMM Calendar.  There are plenty more events listed there, so if you haven’t, I encourage you to check it out today!  Also, if you have an event to share or promote, please submit it– it’s great marketing and better yet, it’s FREE!  And finally, if you have a dumb joke to share, I’m all ears!

Have a great week Dayton!
