Bartow Airport Restaurant to Begin Evening Hours

On Thursday January 19^th, The Bartow Chamber of Commerce is having a ribbon cutting ceremony at Runway 9/27 Airbase Bistro – the restaurant, starting at 5:15 and the ribbon cutting at 6 pm.  On the same day we will begin our new evening schedule.  “We will be open for dinner every week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5pm and 9pm” said restaurant owner Tony Grainger.  We have a full liquor bar so even if you just want a drink and an appetizer, Runway 9/27 is the place to be. We have the latest in video including a giant size screen.  We will show the Super Bowl, and other events.
 
“We are having terrific success with Aviators!” Tony said.  We are starting to get flying clubs in on a regular basis, and now the Airport Authority has decided that every Saturday, Runway 9/27 customers who have a paid receipt is entitled to a discount of 25 cents on every gallon of fuel purchased that day.  So we believe that will attract a lot more pilots, and their friends to the Bartow Airport and Runway 9/27 Air Base Bistro.

The Airport has a great conference room facility that we offer and is available for very low rates. And, with Runway 9/27 doing the catering, this can be a very inexpensive way to get your audience motivated and it is tax free! yes, the IRS allows the full cost of any catered event .  Not only is your audience appreciative, your accountant is as well!

The Airport Authority has been very cooperative with us.  My personal thanks to Cindy who has really put up with a lot of growing pains from us, and we have received really good support from the tenants at the airport.  We sincerely hope that in 2012 there will be many more who will want to work and eat at Bartow Airport.

Other eateries participated and it was a great time had by all who attended !!!

Basil Baby Carrots, Baby Carrot Recipe, How to cook Baby Carrots

BASIL BABY CARROTS

I went to a friend’s house for dinner a number of years ago and they made these carrots and they were so delicious, and my young kids at the time just loved them and gobbled them up. They’re super easy to make, and absolutely delicious. And you know they’re a winner when you can get your kids to love their veggies!

I serve these carrots often at my house, but always at holidays with our Christmas Prime Rib or our Easter Cranberry-Burgundy Glazed Ham.

Enjoy!
2 lbs. baby carrots
water
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. dried basil flakes

Place baby carrots in a medium sized saucepan and cover with water. Cook on medium heat until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain water and add butter, brown sugar and basil. Stir until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.

Serves 6-8
