D&K's Cafe counting down to last day!

[ItzKatzTime]

Thank you all so very much. I will post again later to let you know the last day. I can't get a definite from Doug. It's not an easy thing to put your knives down and walk away when you've been in the kitchen that long.

It's just too difficult to talk about this now. Sorry!

Angels before you...behind you and ALL around you!

Although we were only there once, the experience was wonderful and the Key Lime pie was to die for. Wishing you both all of the luck and hope to see you back in full force once you have taken care of yourselves.

I think my best lunch memory ever was a cool January day a few years back when Mr. Kitty and I sat on the outdoor deck at D & K's and had that delicious gumbo. It was jsut perfection.

Good luck to you both. Keep us posted on what comes next!

Oh Kat! My heart is heavy for y'all, but I know that new doors will be opening for you and Doug... doors that you may not even know are there.

Your generosity to our community has always amazed me - I don't think you and Doug ever said "No" to anyone. I remember (like it was yesterday) running with those Seaside XC kids down the beach with D&K's as our destination. No one lagged behind on that day! What funn!

My best wishes to everyone involved with D&Ks. It is a very special place.

So sorry to hear this!

I know you guys had to make a hard decision, but I selfishly wish D&K's would be there forever! It's a Sowal institution!

We were there on Valentine's Day and our lunch, as usual, was fabulous. Betty and I really hate to see D&K go. We met the new owner on our way to the car and he seemed quite nice. He said he intended to do everything possible to maintain the standard you have established. I wish him the best and hope he succeeds in his expectations. To you and Doug, though I've never had the pleasure of meeting you, Betty and I wish you only success in dealing with your health problems. May the wind always be at your backs.

D&K,
I can only repeat all the sentiments already expressed here. I will miss MY FAVORITE restaurant, and personally wish you both ALL THE VERY BEST

Kat,

Words cannot express how I felt when I read this post. The ironic thing is that just last Saturday (the day of your post) I determined I had a few extra days of vacation and could afford to make a quick trip to Sowal April 2-6. My traveling partner and I looked at each other on Saturday and said 'Cafe 30A and D&K's!' Before even planning the rest of our trip, we already knew which two restaurants we were definitely going to hit while we were in town.

You and Doug are the best at what you do. And I hope you will someday soon be able to continue to do it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart-for being a wonderful part of all of the vacations to Sowal that I am lucky enough to get to take. And please extend to your staff my heartfelt appreciation from one of your wayward Memphis patrons. You all will be missed.

Marsha

I am so sad that you are closing but I hope with a break and more time that you have improved health and continue on to a wonderful happy life. Vacation won't be the same without Doug's cooking! All of my best wishes to you both.
