Suzette’s 10th birthday bash

We began this ride 10 years ago on Alberta Street. We had an Airstream trailer, a 100-year-old carriage house, and a beer-and-wine liquor license. We had no air conditioning, no bathroom, and you traipsed down a gravel path to order crepes at the Airstream window. Since moving to SE Belmont in 2012, we’ve been cool and cozy rain or shine, the menu has doubled, the cocktails are flowing, and we’re a regular feature at the Hollywood Farmers Market! This party retraces those steps, bringing back some of our most popular plates to the tunes of live gypsy jazz, as Tracy Kim’s Django guitar dances with Doug Stickler’s accordion. Here’s a music preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLWjMSXsJpE–
