Now that Dirt Candy is one year old we’re changing some things and making some upgrades.

.

First off, we’ve updated this site’s press page to include links to reviews and interviews and we’ve also added a link to buy gift certificates in our sidebar. We get a lot of requests about gift certificates and sell a ton of them, but we figured rather than making people  jump through hoops to get the info we’d put it all in one easily-accessible place.

.

We’ve also changed the lighting at the restaurant. When we put in our lights no one thought to make sure there was a way to dim them. The only solution was a $1000 control box, but we got a friend who’s a lighting designer to come in and they lowered the light levels through a handy little hack and now the amber lights are slightly less in your face. It’s subtle, but it really changes the mood of the room and makes it more intimate and romantic. Oo la la.

.

Also, we’ve added links in the sidebar of this site that take you directly to some of our most popular posts and categories of posts. You can learn “How Not to Open a Restaurant,” read about Canadian things, hear why your food costs money at all or even just see what holidays we’ve been celebrating.

None of this is perfect and all of it is a work-in-progress, so if you see a technical glitch or something’s eating at you, email us and let us know. Thanks!
