So long, January.

David Korman - noemail@alonti.com — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:04:37 GMT

And we do mean sooo long.

Thirty-one days of cold, grey and slow as molasses in ... you know. Not that February's so hot. But it has Valentine's Day. And Groundhog Day. And Presidents Day. And even with Leap Day it's shorter. February's looking better all the time.

February also has our special deal on new pecan crusted-chicken salad. Order this fresh and delicious menu item as a boxed lunch through March 31 and get your choice of pasta salad or fresh fruit for free.

As with all regular menu items, you can order it in the morning and get it delivered right to your office door in three hours or less, guaranteed. So that's at least one thing in January ...

That's not totally glacial.

Yes we can can!

David Korman - noemail@alonti.com — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:16:22 GMT

And then we'll invent the pull-tab.

On this day in 1935, beer went on sale in cans and ballpark brawls became less dangerous, especially when pull-tabs replaced pointy can punches. Canning beer wasn't easy, though. First they had to figure out how to keep it from eating through the can ... and then how to make the mountains turn blue when it got cold.

Aren't you glad you only have to figure out lunch? We make that easy with great choices like our new pecan crusted-chicken salad. It pairs tender pecan-crusted chicken breast slices with mixed greens, veggies, flatbread crisps, feta and honey-lime vinaigrette.

Through March 31, you also get a free side of pasta salad or fresh fruit when you make it a boxed lunch. And if you need it in three hours or less ...

Can do.

We thought this day would never come.

Ditch New Year's Resolutions Day.

Yes! We hereby call quits on all of it — saying no to cookie dough ice cream; folding clothes right from the dryer; getting to work earlier; smiling nicely at that guy at the gym who sings aloud to his iPod. As of today, we're done with it all.

All but our promise to eat better. That's a cinch with new pecan crusted-chicken salad: crisp greens with tasty pecan-crusted chicken breast slices, tomato, cucumber, flatbread crisps, feta and zesty honey-lime vinaigrette.

And until March 31, it comes with a free pasta salad or fresh fruit side when ordered as a boxed lunch.

All resolutions should be so easy.

We do appreciate them ...

David Korman - noemail@alonti.com — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:45:56 GMT

We just can't grow them.

The Gardener's Network proclaims this Houseplant Appreciation Day, the idea being to celebrate how green, growy things liven up our drab post-holiday homes. Unless, like our houseplants, they look like the tree in A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Another option for healthy greens — new pecan crusted-chicken salad. It's a bed of crisp leafy goodness topped with pecan-crusted chicken breast slices, tomato, cucumber, feta, flatbread crisps and zesty honey-lime vinaigrette.

And now through March 31, get your choice of pasta salad or fresh fruit side — a $1.75 value — free when you order this salad as a boxed lunch.

And that, anyone can appreciate.

The holidays must end ...

David Korman - noemail@alonti.com — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:56:59 GMT

But the happy doesn't have to.

Give us one good reason why life should suddenly go from ho-ho-ho to ho-hum on January 2. And three months of crummy weather doesn't count.

While you ponder, we'll explain how we're saying no to ho-hum-ness: our new pecan crusted-chicken salad. With its delicious pecan-crusted chicken breast slices, mixed greens,tomato, cucumber, feta, flatbread crisps and honey-lime vinaigrette it's a plateful of happy. Plus, when you order it as a boxed lunch, we'll add your choice of pasta salad or fresh fruit — a $1.75 value, free through March 31.

Take that, January 2.

It's National Fruitcake Day

David Korman - noemail@alonti.com — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:45:27 GMT

Happily, you don't have to eat it to celebrate it.

For years, the Winkles of Utica, NY have used their heirloom fruitcake as a festive doorstop. The Olafsonsdottirs of Bemidji, MN punt, pass and kick theirs in holiday football scrimmages. Inspired by Real Simple magazine, Lily Brofman of Venice, CA crafted hers into a candelabra, but the rum ignited and set her condo on fire.

When Alonti gets creative with food, we choose fab over function. So the new empanadas, stuffed meatloaf and apple crumble on our holiday menu at Alonti.com are: a) delicious and b) made fresh every day. Sort of not even remotely like fruitcake.

We guess leftover empanadas might be handy tabletop footballs, but we'll never know for one simple reason:

There are never any left over.

Last minute requests.

"You want me to guide your sleigh when? Tonight? That's a joke, right?"
Yep. Just when you're ready to wrap it up at the office and head home for more wrapping up, the last minute requests start dropping like a sleigh-stopping fog.

If one of those requests is for office catering, we can help. Just look up our new holiday menu at Alonti.com. It's packed with great holiday meals, deals and new dishes including our new stuffed meatloaf, empanadas and apple crumble.

Get your request to us online or by phone and we'll get your holiday catering order to you right on time.

Then how the boss will love you.

"Fun" isn't what it used to be.

David Korman - noemail@alonti.com — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:12:32 GMT

Good thing.

In the Middle Ages folks enjoyed holiday games such as "Hot Cockles." This lighthearted diversion involved blindfolding one player then whacking him until he correctly guessed who was cleaning his clock. If it sounds medieval, well ... it was.

We say yay for painless pursuits like placing your holiday catering order with Alonti. We make it easy with package deals in our new holiday menu at Alonti.com. Each delicious hot plate includes an entrée, two sides, bread and dessert at one special price.

Ordering is easy, too. Just go online or call — we take care of everything, so it's all holiday fun and games for you.

Just not Hot Cockles, okay?

"Thousand Wonder Builder"

Sounds like stuff we used to send off for from back page ads in Batman comics: Magical Sea Stallions that were actually tiny shrimp. In December 1914, nobody wanted Thousand Wonder Builders. But in 1915, Tinker Toys flew off the shelves.

A thing doesn't need a ten-dollar name to be great. It just needs to be great. For example the new empanadas, stuffed meatloaf and apple crumble from our holiday menu at Alonti.com. Simple names, simply amazing flavors.

Simple ordering, too. Enter your holiday luncheon order online or call a helpful catering manager, aka ...

Epic Feast Facilitator.

Puny Pete?

David Korman - noemail@alonti.com — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:01:24 GMT

We're not feeling it.

Before settling on Tiny Tim, Dickens considered Puny Pete, Little Larry and Small Sam as names for the pint-sized protagonist in A Christmas Carol. We're glad he chose Tiny Tim; a tale about Little Larry doesn't have the ring of a holiday classic.

And we know the classics — f'rinstance the empanadas, stuffed meatloaf and apple crumble on our holiday menu at Alonti.com. All time-tested favorites tweaked with chef-inspired flavors that make them new and exciting again.

You can send us your order or let our catering staff help you plan a holiday feast for your office. Either way, it'll be long remembered as a true classic.

Small Sam ... Bah, Humbug.

Alonti History

The Alonti Story

In relocating their gourmet grocery business from New York City to Houston, Cecile and Al Pepi’s plan was to slow their hectic pace of life a bit. However that wasn’t quite how things turned out. The Pepis opened Houston’s first Alonti Market Café in 1974, carrying the same connoisseur-quality food they had offered in New York. It wasn’t long before customer traffic had the business running at a “big apple” pace.

That wasn’t the only surprise for the Pepis. They also discovered that the main attraction wasn’t their epicurean selection of smoked turkeys, imported cheeses and copper cookware, but rather, the sandwich counter they had put in almost as an afterthought.

In time, the deli business overtook the grocery business, as Al and Cecile expanded their menu to include items such as fresh salads, pastas and soups, and added a catering service to serve their growing business clientele.

From there, Alonti Market Café and Catering business grew bigger and busier by the year. Not that Al and Cecile really minded.

In 1991, Al Pepi Jr. succeeded his father as president of the company. He continues to expand the business into new markets and menu offerings … always mindful to carry on Al and Cecile’s legacy of Alonti quality and service as defined in their original slogan, “We make our recipes from scratch and we serve our customers fast.”
