Chef Point Cafe On CNN

Our favorite local restaurant is going to be on CNN.
You will see us once again on National television. This time we will be featured on CNN and CNN Headline News.

"A lot of small businesses are struggling right now," Paula says. "And we've definitely had our challenges, but we've learned so much, and been so blessed, we thought others could benefit from hearing our story."

Make sure and set your recorders so you won't miss us.

The times the story will air are:
  • CNN Saturday, August 29, 6:00 AM Central time
  • CNN Headline News Saturday, August 29, 12:30 PM Central time
  • CNN Headline News Sunday, August 30, 9:30 AM Central time
Chef Point Cafe redesigned their web site and created communities for their customers on Facebook and Twitter. Recommendations from regulars helped the restaurant earn a segment on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives."

Big Picture: In Flight

Just over 100 years since the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight, flying machines are now commonplace, used for transport, freight, warfare, rescue and pleasure just for starters.

Collected here are recent photographs of various flying machines in action or on display around the world. (40 photos total)
