Frank's new store and grocery

Frank has room in the back for a little store and grocery. They aren't fully stocked yet but I like where it's going! They are focusing on local and hard to find products and will also have a deli case with meat and cheeses. Here's a few of the favorite things I saw:
Picture
These were cute little hand made coozies. You can use it on your coffee cups, for example, to keep from wasting the paper sleeves that you get at most places, and stylishly keep from burning your litlte fingers.
Picture
Apparently this dear head was made out of recycled cans. Pretty freakin cool!
Picture
Cute little funky key chains.
Picture
This is an interesting gift idea. It's a book with a cutout for the flask. You never know when you need to hide your stash.

A master Barista, delicious delights, and blissful beverages

Tonight, I tried some of their sweets which were all good and also had a chance to try some of their caffeinated concoctions. Mmmm...

Tyler Wells, Coffee Manager, hard at work making coffee in a cyphen coffee pot. It had flames, bubbles, and enticed my chemistry background! Oh how I miss those days in a lab.
Picture
This guy is serious about his coffee! He has competed in and won multiple barista competitions, most recently winning the Latte Art Throwdown in August 2009!
Picture
A beautiful beignet. Light, sweet, and yummy. Good job, Susan!
Picture
Red Headed Stranger: house-made bacon infused Dripping Springs Vodka, Frank bloody mary mix, bacon and chedder cheese. I had one made withouth the bacon vodka and it was G-O-O-D, good!
Picture
Daytripper: Fresh watermelon juice, St. Germain, Tito's Vodka and fresh mint. This was my favorite drink of the night! I always love fresh watermelon and the melon was perfectly sweet.
Picture
Dun-da-da-DUNN! Bacon infused makers mark madness.

There's a cool little upstairs seating area as well with a full bar. Definitely venture up there if you get a chance.

Chef Matt had to walk away and told me to jump back there if I needed to. Some hungry individuals came up so I jumped behind the table, threw on some gloves, and did my best to make a Chicago dog.
Picture
I was all fine until Chef Matt came up then the nerves struck! He gave me a proper demo after I finished making this beautiful lady's dog. His looked much better but he was super nice about it.

Delicious and beautiful.
Picture
This cute little accent was hand sewn by the Pastry Chef at Frank, Susan Helms. She is so talented! There's a great little back story on the flag's historical meaning, minus the hotdog. So go in and get the lowdown!
Picture
Jenn has self admitted 'boot problem'. As far as I can tell, it's no problem, these are awesome!
Picture
These cute little shoes belong to Sarah Wolfe with clinkevents.com. She says she's not a heels gal but she busted out some cute ones for tonight! I love the ruched strap.
Picture
Jennifer Marie's cute tootsies. She is the wife and muse of Tyler, one of the designers. She is also the purveyor of the aluminum deer head.
Picture
Attendees, friends Doug and Sarah sporting green cons and cute pink shoes.
Picture
How many chefs do you know who are a) cute chics b) come out rockin shorts and boots after being rumored to be covered in flour and c) are skinny despite their culinary creations? I know one now, Susan!
