Getting The HTML Out Of Here

We have a website, http://www.sevys.com/, and a few years ago we hired a web designer who understood the mysterious language called HTML Code to set up our website for us.  But that also meant that every time we had a new menu, or wanted to update promotions, post newsletters, add information, we had to call and have the changes made by the designer - or risk screwing up our website.

And then I found Homestead, by Intuit (y'know, the Quicken/ Quickbooks company).  And now I'm the web designer, kind of, with help from the experts from Homestead.  It's a whole new look for Sevy's Grill, and every time I visit I see something that needs to be tweaked.  But the great thing is I can log in and do it - I even added a Monthly Events page.  All. By. Myself.  No HTML knowledge required.

Maybe you've got a small business but haven't the funds to expand on the web?  Homestead has over 2000 free templates to choose from, many designed for specific industries.   Their web hosting costs as little as $10 per month.

We opted to pay for a Homestead designer to set up a custom template for us, set up the initial 5 pages (we can have up to 10), money well spent even though I've gone through and changed all the fonts and moved buttons, added links.  Because it allows us to put our own personal imprint on our business' web portal, and I think that's important. 

And it did not all go smoothly - transferring over our domain and then linking it to our design was a little stressful.  They have a help staff, it sometimes takes about 24 hours for them to get back with you (depending on the subject).  It would be lovely if they had a "Live Chat" button, even if the result is the same ("We'll get back with you"), at least you feel like you've reached a person.  There were some gaps in the published Help guide when it came to setting up a new page (it does not include instructions for setting up a page with a custom designed template).  But there was a solution for all of my questions, it just required a little patience.

So check out our new look, and please, I'd love some feedback.  I'm thinking of adding a "Chef's Corner" page with some recipes from Sevy and Buzzy.  Oh, and I can set up a blog on it - but wait, I already have one of those.

Highlights From Sevy's New Menu

Wow, in May Sevy's Grill will turn 13 years old.  We've had several menu revisions during that time, Sevy has to walk a fine line between injecting new enthusiasm and changing guest's favorite items.  Personally, I think this time he's done a fabulous job combining new with classic Sevy's.

Making a re-appearance is the tomato basil goat cheese crostini with Paula's fresh goat cheese. The portabella mushrooms has a new topping of caramelized local ricotta, fresh herbs, baby greens and shallot vinaigrette.  The (dinner) seared jumbo scallops appetizer is served on a bed of creamed corn, lemon thyme butter and crispy fennel. 

New salads include a spicy shrimp and peanut salad with mixed greens and napa cabbage, spicy peanut dressing and crispy wontons (lunch), and a mozzarella and fried green tomato salad (dinner) topped with a bbq ranch dressing.

Lunch sandwiches have really changed with new entries:  bbq glazed chicken sandwich, an open face smoked salmon sandwich and a pressed steak sandwich.  A new lunch pasta to try, lamb meatballs with creamy orzo, fresh peas, crispy pancetta, montasio cheese and a zinfandel sauce.

At dinner, a 20 oz. t-bone steak makes a debut, on a bed of sauteed mushrooms, roasted shallot cabernet sauce and blue cheese potato croquettes.   Or try the pork rib chop piccata with lemon butter, spaghetti squash gratin and crispy brussel sprouts.  And on the plate with the sweet and spicy ancho chile shrimp is a zucchini flour empanada, poblano lime cream and fresh avocado pico.  Returning on both the lunch and dinner menus is our grilled garden vegetable plate, featuring the freshest of the season served with a side of fresh tomato basil sauce.

Another old favorite comes back home, the warm apple pecan chimichanga with caramel sauce and cinnamon ice cream.  New to desserts is the chocolate chip chocolate mousse cake, a blueberry-swirl cheesecake and a duo of orange "sicle" and raspberry sorbets.

So come on by and have a try, let us know what you think.  Reservations taken for any size party, here.

Do I Dare

Tell my husband about this trend from Restaurant Hospitality, mixing Celebrity Chefs, fund raising and golf tournaments? A few of his Chefriends are pretty good wackers too. "Celebrity" might be a stretch, but hey I've only heard of one of the chefs in the article before (I've purchased his cook book). And I can guarantee they're highly entertaining - nobody has more fun together than a group of chefs on a day off.

After all, how many other chefs have a cook book that includes golf tips and a patio that has a putting green?
