We have a quick note about today … Our last seating is at 6:30pm and our doors close at 7:00pm to get ready for tonight’s function: an evening with local photographer Beaver Smith and Uptown Saint John captured through his lens.
We still have tickets available and they can be purchased at the door. We’re looking forward to an amazing night!
Our weekend is pretty full with good “stuff.” It starts with tomorrow night as we host local photograph Beaver Smith and his photos.
We had a pretty interesting back and forth (an interview) with Beaver earlier in the week about photography and Saint John.
Then on Sunday afternoon, we’ve got Bob McVicar (Chef Bob) coming in to present a cooking class with the subject being Creole jambalaya. When we spoke to Bob the other day, he was sounding pretty pumped about it — as are we!
In both cases, tickets are limited but you can get yours simply by calling us here at the Urban Deli at 652.3354 or, put another way, 652.DELI.
Of course, you can also join us tomorrow morning for our regular Urban Deli breakfast (9:00 am to noon).
That should cover all the bases … Oh yes, one last thing. For those who have signed up to our newsletter, we are giving away tickets from the Saint John Theatre Company to their November 25th show: The Importance of Being Earnest. If you haven’t signed up yet, you still can subscribe and have a chance at winning. Just visit our newsletter page and subscribe.
Now it’s back to work and getting ready for the weekend …
Coming up on Sunday we have another cooking class with Bob McVicar (aka Chef Bob). If you would like to join us, give us a call at the Urban Deli: 652.3354. If you would like to know more, have a look at our post, Creole jambalaya. Or you can just let Bob tell you about it himself:

We’re looking for some volunteers for Sunday, October 10th (a week from tomorrow) in order to help serve a Thanksgiving dinner to inner-city families in support of the Salvation Army.
This is “no charge” meal for the families and we are planning to have two seatings (4pm and 5:30pm).
Can you lend a hand? Here’s what we’re looking for help with:

Yes, it’s something new we’re working on. As you can see over on the upper right, we’re putting together a newsletter. You can sign-up for it there or just go straight to the sign up page here.
No, we won’t be flooding you with oodles of emails.

Seafood chowder (gluten-free)
If you want to have a sense of some ocean fare, try some of the seafood items off our menu. We have a bowl of hot seafood chowder available which is great for those foggy Saint John days. It is served with a homemade buttermilk biscuit and consists of lobster, shrimp, scallops, haddock and salmon. This has become a popular choice for many of our customers especially when accompanied by a glass of white wine.
On a daily basis, we try to have a new quiche available and one of our specialties is our seafood medley. This quiche has the same ingredients as our chowder but also includes spinach and usually aged white cheddar cheese. It is served with your choice of side and topped off with a melted cheese sauce on top. Today it is available for order and these sell very fast!!
Other menu options include our sesame crusted seared tuna loin and our wild Pacific salmon burger. If you enjoy the tuna, it is also available on our romaine chiffonade salad served with wasabi vinaigrette.
Sesame crusted tuna steak burger
There are also endless opportunities available with catering or special events. Many seafood creations can be chosen from. We have made coconut shrimp, ceviche and excellent mini lobster rolls. Make any day/night special by calling us for catering, take-out or just stop by the restaurant to try any of our menu options.
It seems as if we opened our doors yesterday and today woke up to find ourselves one year old. Does time really move that quickly? Apparently — especially when you’re trying to serve food!
The Urban Deli opened on July 13, 2009. One year later, we’re still here.
It’s fascinating what happens while you’re busy. We’ve had lots of customers come into the Deli and in what seems the blink of an eye some have become regulars, many have become friends, and our staff have become family.
But what has most amazed us has been the way Saint John has welcomed and taken us in, and how Uptown Saint John has made us a part of one of the most exciting and growing communities anywhere in the country.
“Thank you Saint John,” doesn’t come close to saying how grateful we are to the Port City but, thank you Saint John!
And a huge thank you to our staff — not just for the work you do, but the way you do it.
Year one is behind us; the future is ahead and wide open. We’re loving it!
