What a better way for the Rude Native in Waterloo to showcase their up coming Summer Menu selections than at the Annual Jazz Festival fundraising event held in the CIGI building in Waterloo on Friday April 17,2009.

The Rude Native gave a sneak preview of two of their upcoming summer menu items. Jumbo Cajun Shrimp, served on jalapeno corn bread drizzled with a peppercorn bourbon demi glaze & The Summer Salad, baby greens in a radicchio cup with fresh Ontario fruit in a light Pinot Noir vinaigrette, topped with oven roasted cashews.

Be sure to attend the Rude Native Waterloo Patio Opening Party on May 30th. The good people from Carlsberg will be on hand from 4-7pm with samples, and the launch of the Rude Natives Summer menu.

The Rude Native never passes up a reason to celebrate, and this week the Rude crew along with a parade of friends and patrons took to the streets of downtown Burlington and Waterloo to celebrate Cinco De Mayo. Lead by their very own Mariachi and dressed in traditional Mexican sombreros the festive ensemble made their way to various neighbourhood establishments to celebrate the Mexican culture of food, music, beverage and customs and to honor the bravery and victory of General Zaragoza's much smaller and outnumbered militia at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

¡Viva México!

But the party is not over, festivities continue this Saturday with the "Cinco Saturday" party at the Rude Native.

Rude Native Chef Brett Turnbull was called in to consult for a new TV pilot being filmed in Burlington called "Rock and Roll Kitchen". The show features Y108 Afternoon Drive host Andre Schikolenko. Chef Brett gladly offered up his cooking expertise and the use of his beautiful open Kitchen for the shows "cooking segment". The show, Co-directed and produced by Benjamin Rispin of the two time Juno Award nominee band, St Alvia and Schikolenko himself, revolves around a talk show with a cooking segment where Schikolenko goes head to head with the guest to see who can make the better dish.

For the shows first episode Shikolenko is joined by guest Dean Lickyer, who was recently nominated best band at Canadian Music Week and awarded $10,000.00 by Gene Simmons (of Kiss fame) himself. After creating a masterful grilled cheese the boys head two doors down to SB Prime to film the interview and music portion of the show where they put on an amazing acoustic performance of their new song "Witching Hour Moon" from their new self titled EP.
