2010 UPDATE: Calendar of Events in Ruidoso click here

One of the benefits of living in Ruidoso is the fact that the summer temperatures are mild with little or no humidity, so you can really enjoy the great outdoors. Sadly, our national forest is being closed for an indeterminate amount of time beginning May 1, which is going to make having a picnic a little more difficult. However, there is one option that, (for me), offers the best of both worlds.

In the heart of Mid-town and just a slight walk down Eagle Drive, you can find an inviting little restaurant called Picnics Deli. They’ve been there for a few years now, making fresh deli sandwiches and soups. Everything is homemade – not an easy thing to come by in many restaurants these days. The ham is carved straight from the bone, the brisket is slow cooked, not barbecued, and 25 lb. turkeys are cooked right on the premises. Each morning, soups and pastas are made from scratch by Jeralyn, one of the owners.

Beginning in June, owner Larry Hess plans to extend their hours to include Friday and Saturday evenings serving up delicious plates of prime rib, plus a tasty nightly special. So later this summer, if you’re taking a stroll in Mid-town, make sure you turn the corner at Eagle Drive to see what Larry is preparing. Future plans are in the works to obtain a beer & wine license and to construct a deck for more outdoor dining space. Right now, outdoor dining is available in the courtyard overlooking the Ruidoso River.

Building a restaurant business from the ground up and making adjustments according to the seasonal visitors is nothing new to Larry & Jeralyn. They have owned restaurants in Big Sky Montana, Prescott, Arizona and a few cities “back east”. Larry is originally from the Washington D.C. area and he brings that special “deli” touch, often found only on the east coast. In Prescott, AZ he owned a successful deli and restaurant before visiting Ruidoso and deciding to move his business here. They have really settled in and made Ruidoso their home, and the restaurant has become a favorite lunch stop for locals and visitors alike.

While they enjoy running Picnics Deli, Larry and Jeralyn have been in the restaurant business for many years and are feeling the urge to explore other avenues. Larry wants to get back to playing music again, and Jeralyn would like to pursue some of her hobbies as well. For this reason, they are planning to sell Picnics when the right buyer comes along. They want to make sure that the next owner keeps the same high quality standards that their customers have come to expect. So if you, or anyone that you know has dreamed of having their own business in Ruidoso, just here for the details.

That’s all for now, and we’ll see you at Picnics!
