Chop Chop Tasty Trio – Winter 2017

It’s back: Chop Chop Saint John, the Winter 2017 edition, just in time to help us all beat back the snow and frost of the season with the palate delighting tastes of our Uptown. Here’s what we’ve planned for the Deli…

The Tasty Trio: our Chop Chop Sliders

Our Tasty Trio: zesty buffalo chicken, Italiano, and spicy pork bulgogi

 

Two Course Lunch – $13

$1 from each Chop Chop dish is donated to the Lunch Connection

First Course:

The Tasty Trio of Sliders – We tried to settle on just one but couldn’t decide so we went with all three!

One of each:

  • Zesty Buffalo Chicken – Two pieces of breaded chicken tossed in our zesty buffalo sauce with a drizzle of blue cheese dressing, lettuce and tomato

AND…

  • Italiano – Large house-made pork and beef meatball with mozzarella and parmesan and our house-made marinara sauce.

AND…

  • Spicy Pork Bulgogi – Asian inspired spicy pork with a thick cut of cucumber and slaw

Second Course:

  • One of our famous house-made frogs paired with the cookie of the day

Please don’t forget, $1 from EVERY Chop Chop dish sold will goes directly to Lunch Connection, a program helping feed healthy lunches to our inner-city school children.

Thank you and have a great time with this first Chop Chop of the year! (You can view all the Uptown Chop Chop menus here.

Our Annual SPCA Christmas Eve Day

Storm and John

Storm and John (John Mallory Fitness) remind us that a happy dog is an adopted dog and without the Saint John SPCA Animal Rescue animals like him would be without a friend.

It’s Christmas Eve day (24th), and we’re doing our annual thing (maybe our seventh year): Have a few friends and regular customers volunteer to be our servers as we give our staff some time off. They’re on the floor now till 3:00.

AND as they give serving a try, we’ll donate ALL the tips to one of our favourite charities — The Saint John SPCA Animal Rescue — fabulous people doing wonderful work. Our owner Liz and her husband John are big SPCA supporters, as is owner Gord, who has made significant donations to the cause.

Liz and John have made adoptions over the last few years: Whiskers (a cat), their beautiful dogs, Storm and Bear. They are hugely grateful for the work the SPCA does, their dedicated staff, the enthusiastic volunteers and everyone in Saint John that has adopted and given an animal a home. Kudos to everyone!

We hope we can send something their way today through the tips and donations. If you’re in the Uptown, drop in for a bite or just to say hello. Any donation you care to make will be gratefully accepted and keep in mind, any tip you give goes to the Saint John SPCA Animal Rescue.

We hope to see you!

The Deli is Seven Years Old!

ud_bd02Today is our birthday — we’re 7 years old! We opened July 13th, 2009 and haven’t looked back.

We’re proud to say we have the best customers and the best staff anywhere. And why wouldn’t we?

We’re in the heart of Uptown Saint John, the best place to be!

Thank you to everyone in the Uptown, the other great businesses that pump life into the city every day. And thank you to everyone in Saint John, New Brunswick, the Maritimes….What a fabulous place!

And thanks to everyone that has ever visited us, asked us to cater their event, and to all the people we’ve been able to work with behind the scenes, in the kitchen, and to all the wonderful suppliers that keep us going.

We absolutely love this place!

Loads of April Yuks Coming to Saint John

If you thought April laughs were restricted to April Fool’s Day, you would have thought wrong. Bigger laughs are on the way April 27th when Yuk Yuk’s On Tour Stand Up Comedy comes to Saint John.

It will be at the Trade and Convention Centre, in the Marco Polo Room, and it’s set to go April 27th at 7:00pm. Admission is $16. The MC will be Halifax’s Catherine Robertson and the acts include two guys from the Halifax ComedyFest 2016, beginning with John Cullen (sometimes known as ‘the curling comic’) and the headliner, Jean Paul (“Saving the world — one joke at a time.”)

You need to be 19+: this is uncensored comedy (and discretion is advised). Real comedy is not for the faint of heart. 🙂 It’s for those who really like to laugh.

For tickets and more information, you can call 608-2568.

This is a great way to support comedy and to support Yuk Yuk’s newest comedy venue coming to our Uptown in September.

OpportunitiesNB Rolling Out Something New

Logo for OpportunitiesNBWe have our St. Patrick’s Day lined up, thanks to OpportunitiesNB. They will be at the Diamond Jubilee Cruise Terminal on Water Street, 11:00am March 17, for the launch of an exciting new initiative.

It promises to be a great information session. We’ll be catering and are definitely excited to be there to see what they will be rolling out. OpportunitiesNB is an important part of New Brunswick as “…the first point of contact for local and foreign businesses looking to grow, expand or locate.”

We look forward to catering this one as we incorporate some locally sourced ingredients — always a plus — and hearing what about what OpportunitiesNB is launching!

And it will be a great way to get St. Pat’s Day underway! 😉
