Sweet Roux

So just where did the name Sweet Roux come from? That would definitely be the question we get asked the most. Well, its an amalgamation and culmination of everything we strive to be. Think back to when you were a child; was there anything better than your favoritehomemade sweets? Chances are someone in your family, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, someone, liked to bake and create. Food made with care, not because someone had to, but because they wanted to and thats pretty sweet. On the other side, we have the roux. Brings to mind fine-dining, French chefs, and cajun food. Pretty fancy, right? No, not really. For those of you that dont know, a roux is just flour and fat (most often butter) cooked together to flavor and thicken sauces, stews, soups, etc. A roux is a fundamental piece of cooking from scratch; no packets of powder, no artificial thickeners, just getting back to the basics. And yet, the basics are elegant in their simplicity. And thats what we are: food made with passion, full of creativity, and as always, started with the basics. Our motto is that food should be fun and exciting and dining out should be an experience! We have done our best to make sure that experience is something anyone can enjoy. Were a little traditional, a little modern, a little quirky, and a lot of fun.
