Sheila Stevens said they initially pushed for Feb. 1 to open but have altered their expectations to hoping for a launch before the Feb. 14 holiday. She noted how the sign is being placed but not finished yet. They also are taking care of such preparations as tasting bread and interviewing bakers. Stevens said she is surprised because there are “plenty of bakers out there.”
She pointed out how Knife & Fork recently won the chamber of commerce’s award for best hospitality business and said She’s is “doing well.”
“I think it’s an exciting thing for downtown,” she said. “I didn’t even realize people were going to be so interested in it.”
