Taste of The Beach Starts Today!

Thursday, March 11th, 2010
Red Sky Cafe

Red Sky Cafe

Are you ready for some of the best food available on the Outer Banks? You’d better be, because today is the official start of the Taste of the Beach!

This is a 20 year old tradition on the beach, and it gets bigger and better every year, and this looks to be the biggest! Today alone there are eight different events to choose from including a chance to meet Ed Brantley & Heba Salama from “The Biggest Loser”, a beer and food matching event, and a wine and cheese tasting this evening. That’s just to name a few. And it’s not just today; the event runs through Sunday, March 14th.

Tomorrow, the Red Sky Cafe, Roadside Grill and The Blue Point are holding the Taste of Tapas in Duck. But you better have already gotten you’re tickets, because this event is already sold out.

Why would anyone settle for less?

However, just because you can’t do the tapas crawl, doesn’t mean you need to miss out on the great food made by Chef Wes at the Red Sky Café. You can always stop in for lunch or dinner.

This year there are over 60 different events to choose from, so there is definitely something for everyone. Check out the Taste of the Beach schedule for all of the events.

$15 Charity Dinner At Red Sky Cafe Tuesday, Mar 9th

Saturday, March 6th, 2010
2009 mission in Guyana

2009 mission in Guyana - help 2010 even better!

Chef Wes Stepp and the entire Red Sky Cafe staff will be preparing a very special dinner to benefit a group of Christian Youth Missionaries that are on their way to Guyana, in South America, and need our donation.

The Youth group comes from 3 local churches:

The Dinner

Your entire dinner will cost $15 per person.

Diners get a choice of Beef, Chicken, or Seafood. Beef will be served with Mashed Red Potatoes, and Chicken and Seafood with the Red Sky’s famous Redneck Risotto (Asiago Cheese Grits). All dishes are served with a selection of seasonal vegetables and a large drink.

Orders are available for takeout as well as in the restaurant. All proceeds go to the Mission fund.

The Mission

Guyana suffers substantially from institutional weakness and low capacity in gathering, collecting and aggregating social sector data. As a result, local government encounters serious challenges in measuring poverty data, which hinders their ability to target where to allocate the few resources available.

The Guyana government is still fundamentally unstable and lacks the resources to address most of what the country needs.
Our missionaries are going there to help educate the population and sincerely appreciate your help.
Come on over, enjoy Chef Wes’ delicious food, and help out on a great cause.

Staff at Outer Banks Seafood Co in Virginia Beach

Chef Wes Stepp has recently opened Outer Banks Seafood Company in Virginia Beach, and we were invited to the final staff training day, the menu presentation.

In case you dont know, that’s when Chef cooks the entire menu for the staff, so they get familiar with the food and understand exactly what is on the menu. It’s also the most delicious training day ever ;)

The restaurant is located at 1080 Nimmo Parkway, in the Red Mills neighborhood in Virginia Beach, and it’s a beautiful location. Overlooking a large lake, surrounded by huge mansions, staffed with high-quality professionals and serving the same deliciously fresh seafood that made Red Sky Cafe a landmark in the Outer Banks, Chef Wes’ new restaurant is already a major success.

Check it out for yourself:

Valentines DInner at the Red Sky Cafe

Valentines enjoyed several special treats from the Red Sky

The restaurant was completely booked by 6:30pm.

Guests arrived constantly and many just stood by the bar and watched the Chefs through the open kitchen. It was a real sight.

The Red Sky was serving its regular dinner menu, along with the special sample platters, served on a 3 1/2 ft long mirror (as you’ll see on the video). Each platter had at least 15 different Tapas (small entrees) ranging from Filet Mignon to Scallops to Quail.

Throughout the dining room, Wows and Oh My Goshs were heard constantly, followed by delighted champagne toasts.

If you had to miss it, mark your calendar for next year – you wont regret it!

The Surprising Red Sky Cafe Valentine’s Dinner

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
valentines dinner in the outer banks with Red Sky cafe

Valentines in the Outer Banks - Red Sky Cafe!

Chef Wes Stepp presents “Looking At You Valentines For Two” at the Red Sky Cafe in Duck, NC.

Let me explain how this cool (and unusual) dinner will take place:

1 – There’s No Menu

Couples will pick from Protein Groups below:

Seafood, Beef, Chicken, or Pork

They can choose one, two, three, or have all four groups on their menu.

Chef Wes will then prepare a delicious Tapas selection of several fresh proteins, including shrimp, scallops, oysters, filet mignon, chicken breast, tenderloin, pork belly, etc…

2 – There are no dishes

This Valentines dinner is called “Looking at You” because Chef Wes is abolishing all dishware and substituting it with his unique mirror platters.

mirror platters from Red Sky Cafe

Valentines dinner will be served on mirror platters!

Your entire menu selection will come on a beautiful mirror platter, one of the signature presentations of the Red Sky Cafe.

So, in a way, your dinner will be “looking at you” ;)

3 – Champagne for Everybody

Each couple (over 21) receives a flute of Champagne to accompany their dinner, courtesy of the Red Sky Cafe.

The bubbles mark the beginning of a very special night, that can be complimented by one of the special Champagne bottles on the menu marked for a special Valentine’s discount.

Ask your server for a complete selection!

4 – It’s Super Affordable!

For only $45 per couple, this dinner is the best Valentine’s gift we can give your wallet!

Seriously – movies for 2 + popcorn + sodas cost $35! (and you dont get to taste Chef Wes’ creations or Champagne!)

Reserve your table now – call 252-261-8646!

We look forward to mesmerizing you this weekend!
