Beginning this coming Monday, August 1 the Rookery will resume our traditional summer schedule of serving dinner 7 nights per week through early October. And yes, in case you're wondering, Monday indeed will be a designated WINEAUX WEEKDAY, joining Tuesday and Wednesday in featuring half price bottles of wine!

New Head Chef

Among the reasons we're able to reopen on Mondays is that our long search for a permanent head chef has finally paid off. And paid off big! When he joins our team next week Chef Darren will be the most well-qualified and experienced chef the Rookery has ever employed, with particular skills in the style of cuisine we've come to be known for. Learn more about him in next week's edition of this newsletter.

Then on Sunday afternoon (2-5 PM) we welcome back a wonderful musician from Eau Claire who was just here as a member of last weekend's featured band, Eggplant Heroes. This time Dan Zerr is joined by partner Marjorie Craemer in the acoustic string and vocal duo, Secondhand Hearts. Dan and Marjorie are regular performers on the vibrant Chippewa Valley music scene a few hours to our south. But guess what? The only place this summer near Cable you're gonna have a chance to catch their sweet harmonies is right here at the Rookery!
