NEW FALL MENU ITEMS

One of the best things about the emphasis we place on using only fresh, local, organic-whenever-possible ingredients is that our menu often changes as the season does. We truly love working with the most seasonable ingredients to craft up creative plates that reflect whatever time of year we’re currently enjoying—peach salads for summer, hearty soups for winter, pumpkin-pecan bread for fall. As seasoned chefs, crafting meals that parallel the season helps to keep our minds and our menu as fresh as ever.

You may have noticed, then, that fall is (finally!) in the air, and—needless to say—we’re pretty darn excited about it at CRAFT. We’ve added a few new (super tasty) autumn-inspired plates to our menu, and we wanted to share them with you. (Insider’s Tip: You won’t want to miss our “Gobbler Sliders,” complete with cranberry orange jam and sage stuffing.) 

Check out the list of new items below, or view the complete CRAFTkitchen menu for a full look at everything we’re currently offering. And, as always, substitutions and suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Las Vegas, for supporting local! Here’s to a fall full of delicious, handCRAFTed goodness.

THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN RESTAURANT WEEK!

As a locally owned cafe bakery, there’s nothing we love more than being able to support local causes. One of our favorite local nonprofits is an organization called Three Square, an organization that delivers wholesome food to community members in need in its pursuit of a hunger-free Southern Nevada. (How cool is that?)

Every year, Three Square hosts Las Vegas Restaurant Week, a week in which participating local restaurants, eateries and bakeries agree to donate a certain amount of proceeds from their sales to Three Square’s fight to end hunger in our community. (We wrote all about Restaurant Week in an earlier blog post, if you want to learn more.)

Since we opened our doors in 2015, this was our first year participating–and we couldn’t have been happier to be a part of such a great cause. We asked you all to help us out by purchasing pastries from our pastry case during Restaurant Week. For each pastry sold, we agreed to donate $1 to Three Square. Well, the results are in and, thanks to your generous participation, we were able to donate more than 900 meals to those in need.

So, we just wanted to take a minute to say thank you SO much for helping us contribute to this incredible organization. Your participation is responsible for feeding so many hungry mouths in our community, and you should be proud. We can’t wait to see what your generosity does for Restaurant Week 2017!

Las Vegas Restaurant Week

One of our favorite local events, Restaurant Week by Three Square, is right around the corner and we are so excited to announce that CRAFTkitchen will be participating for the first time ever this year. On its tenth year this year, Restaurant Week will take place from June 6th-17th. Read on to find out how you can participate and give back to the community simply by indulging in some delicious eats: 

What is Restaurant Week? 

Restaurant Week is an effort by Three Square Food Bank, an organization that delivers wholesome food to community members in need in its pursuit of a hunger-free Southern Nevada. Every year for the past ten years, Three Square has put on “Las Vegas Restaurant Week,” a week in which participating local restaurants, eateries and bakeries agree to donate a certain amount of proceeds from their sales to Three Square’s fight to end hunger in our community. All you have to do to help is dine at one of the participating restaurants anytime from June 6th-17th. 

How is CRAFT participating?

CRAFTkitchen will be donating $1 from every single item sold from our pastry case from June 6th-17th. So, swing by and grab one of your favorite pastry-case goodies (like our fan-favorite chocolate croissant or flakey French Kouign-amann) anytime during Restaurant Week and you’ll be doing your part to help end hunger in Southern Nevada.

Where can I learn more?

You can also follow Three Square on Instagram @ThreeSquarelv and follow Restaurant Week on Facebook @Las Vegas Restaurant Week for real-time updates.

We’re so excited for this important and impactful event to start and are so grateful to be a part of it. Since we first opened CRAFT, our mission has always been to get our community fed the way it deserves to be fed, and it’s a true honor to join forces with the unstoppable Three Square Food Bank to help do so.
