Q: I've heard on both Larry King Live and The Rachel Ray show that Fresh is going to have an outdoor cafe. Is that true? If so, when? Please say yes.

A: Dear Freshniks; as Oprah, The BBC and The Associated Press have all reported we will be opening our very own outdoor cafe here in The Hills. Outdoor seating begins April 2nd and runs through the fall.

Q:What do a Dirty Monkey, Frankenstein and an Egg Cream all have in common???

Where do they keep him?
What does he EAT???

All in good time, my dear Freshniks. All in good time.
Stay tuned. Or better still, come on in and let us show you.
