Napa Valley Biscuits Reopens

The instantly-popular Main Street eatery, which closed for remodeling a week after it opened, is back in business with more food storage capacity to meet hungry diners' demands.

We should all have such problems: Downtown Napa's newest eating place, , opened its doors to such instant and overwhelming demand that owners Curtis and Tara Lindley were running out of food every day.

Especially for a , turning away guests is no way to be in the hospitality business.

So the Lindleys quickly revamped their business plan—which had called for about half as many customers a day as they found themselves serving at lunchtime alone—ordered a new fryer and refrigerator, called their contractor and after lunch on their eighth day of business.

Chef Curtis Lindley had estimated Napa Valley Biscuits would be shuttered for a week; that turned into nine days, but the restaurant was set to reopen Tuesday at 7 a.m., according to a sign posted on the restaurant's front door Monday afternoon.

Y'all go, now, y'hear?

Ahh,I can already taste the biscuits. And the thought of eating the chicken and waffles has put a smile on my face.

I remember the days when the Rossi's owned this place and my mom had to buy Brioschi there for my Italian stepfather's hangover moments. It was the only place in town that sold the Italian "heartburn" remedy.
I forwarded this to my husband and oldest son...bet they will be beating down the doors to get some good bizkits!!

What a great comment, thank you for the smile. Brioschi!

Awesome! We're taking the office to Biscuits today for lunch! We're looking forward to it!

Is there any way to remove the blogs from the news page? Blogs are not news. They are opinionRead More pieces, and I would like more news. thanks!
Keri Brenner (Editor) June 17, 2013 at 05:41 pm
Hi Beau and F: Yes, the &#39 are still there and not going away. I trust that tech people areRead More working on this...Sorry. And as far as the blogs being on the news stream, I can't change that except to keep the blogs mostly at the bottom and the news on top. The new platform is designed to highlight the blogs more than they were before. Occasionally if there is a timely, useful or highly newsworthy blog post I will move it up, but in general the news will be in the first 5 slots and the blog below. Hope that helps. Keri

Promoting blogs instead of news makes the Patch less useful. I liked having an alternate newsRead More source. Blogger promotion is too much like stroking the egos of local bloggers rather than promoting news and information. It seriously compromises the value of Napa Valley Patch as a news source.

Go, Jamie! I voted, all the way out here in lobsterland where I hope you and Kevin will visit someRead More day.

It is easy to judge people from a distance. All of us have up and down times in life, none of usRead More have the same internal or external supports to deal with it all. Maybe those among us who feel superior could try to take a moment or more to see life from the perspective of someone who (even from a position of pain or vulnerability) has too much pride to accept the stigma of being in need of the social translation of "the lowest of the low" homeless shelter or addiction counseling. It feels good to try lifting others up rather than tearing them down; Maybe your smile or expression of something other than disgust could make a positive difference to move a person in need toward help.

Thank you Marlene for your story, It is a tragic and difficult life that many homeless people haveRead More to live and I always thank my god that I have been more fortunate.

Not the case. It's definitely on the list of stories to cover. Absolutely! Thanks for the reminder!

I'd like to show appreciation to my grandfather on Father's Day. He taught me how to cook a roast,Read More garden, work with tools, use a shotgun and appreciate our surrounding waters. Always a patient man, my grandfather showed me so much. I got scared once when I broke a tool when we were building a skateboard ramp. He just replied with, at least you know not to do that anymore. I always admired how my grandfather loves my grandmother so much. That's old, true love. Fairy tail kinda stuff. Love we all want to grow old with. I love my grandpa with all my heart.

Hi Loui Loui: Your grandpa sounds wonderful!

Loui Loui, it's called false pretenses and misleading claims. While I understand it's not theRead More editor's or tech's fault, releasing a product to the public as "New with better features!" shouldn't mean that it comes with glitches, bugs and frustration. And unlike Google+ and FB, Napa Valley Patch didn't "come out", we had a NVP that was working perfectly fine and Corporate Patch decided to upgrade. Can you imagine the ether-riots if FB did an "upgrade" full of glitches and bugs"?
Unfiltered Steve Simoneau June 13, 2013 at 10:54 pm
Actually, Loui, I left FB two years ago and haven't been back since. And while Patch and FB may beRead More "free" services they rely on users to exist. It's a symbiotic relationship, so both sides must be content for it to work efficiently.

Why the Hispanics need their own Chambers Of Commerce is a mystery to me. Racism is the promotion ofRead More one race above others. If I supported a White/Caucasian Chamber Of Commerce I'd be labeled a bigot and racist. One Chamber Of Commerce should suffice for ALL!
