“Dija Know…”

Welcome to our Newsletter

here at Joe’s many, many items are prepared from scratch on premises: fiore di latte (fresh mozzarella) is made daily, smoked meats, brisket, smoked salmon, all desserts and pastries, sauces, soups, pizza dough, dressings, some breads.
that since 1995 (starting at our first location – Pizza Etc.), we have led the Santa Fe food industry, in supporting the Farmers Market. By all the farmers’ consensus, we buy more local, regional grass-fed beef, bison, lamb, poultry, eggs, produce, flour, veggies and fruits than any other restaurant in Santa Fe. In 2010 Joe’s Diner purchased over $80,000.00 worth of Farmers Market products. A locavore’s delight. ( 100K by 2012)
that your hosts, Roland and Sheila, have a combined 60+ years in the restaurant industry!!
that Joe’s is not a chain or a franchise. Joe’s Dining is one of a kind. Joe’s is Roland and Sheila – all that they own, all that they are. We cannot compete with the chains’ marketing budgets. However, they cannot compete with our food or our service or our heart.
that we cater a significant number of corporate office meetings, weddings, family events, community and church events and doctors’ office meetings and receive marvelous feedback.
that we have our own pastry chef in house – he does fresh desserts daily as well as beautiful birthday cakes and Gluten-Free options

Norwegian Icebreaker heralds the beginning of Spring Fatty foods that make you skinny. Continuing our series, here is yet another wonderful food that has many health benefits.

Look ma, no teeth! . . Even before our first tooth, our development is shaped by multiple factors, many of which we can control – nurturing, appropriate mental stimulation, nutrition, safe environment, etc. One developmental factor has been around for so many years we hardly question it – the addition of fluoride to our public water supply. It’s an issue that has some people in Santa Fe steamed. And there is a body of research that is gaining credibility to support these Santa Feans’ protest of (sometimes) erratic amounts...

2013. The Chinese year of the Snake. It’s hard to conceive of a more eventful year than 2012. But it takes no crystal ball to see we are headed into yet another very interesting year. Certain characteristics are attributed to the year of the Snake and to people born in Snake years: keen, aware, cunning, proud, vain, vicious. With traits like that you would hardly think that one would or could go over a fiscal cliff. The good news is the cliff was averted last night (Jan 1). The bad news is the cliff was averted on the backs of...
