Highway zen at the Ditch Café

Few establishments are capable of both being situated right on
Highway 191 and maintaining any kind of atmosphere, but The Ditch
Café makes it look effortless.
Established in 2009 by Steve and Mary Osman, The Ditch Café in Four
Corners chiefly offers up standard coffee-shop fare of sandwiches,
salads and coffee, along with friendly service. The indoor dining area is
housed in an old-fashioned wood building, but in favorable weather,
the cafe’s main attraction is outside.
The gentle burbling of a small creek (actually an exceedingly wellgroomed irrigation ditch) borders the outdoor eating area and masks noise from the highway. Clusters of wrought-iron chairs and tables are
scattered throughout the shade of cottonwood trees, perfect for a
morning coffee date or a leisurely lunch.
Although sandwiches are served at lunch, regular customers
recommend the all-day breakfast menu, as well as the crêpes. Thinking
that crêpes aren’t typical fare in Bozeman, I ordered a “tooti fruity”
crêpe and hoped for the best.
Although perhaps a bit thicker than the original, that crêpe was
nevertheless appetizing. Vanilla yogurt added some tartness to the
fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce – what’s not to like? A glass of
just-brewed iced tea made a good pairing as I sat and admired the
tranquil surroundings.
Glancing at the interior decoration reveals that Steve Osman is an
artist as well as a proprietor. Hanging on the walls, his acrylics feature
a self-described “cowboy zen” theme, quirky pieces that fuse east-west
art. A creation not easily forgotten was the painting of Buddha and
Marilyn Monroe in a trout-motif convertible, which is strangely
mesmerizing.
With a convenient location and its own distinctive character, the Ditch
is canine friendly and has another thing everyone can love – free wifi.
All in all, The Ditch Café far exceeds the expectation given by its
moniker.
The Outlaw Partners is a creative marketing, media and events company based in Big Sky, Montana.

Event Details
My Barking Dog is a nightmare comedy that tells the story of Toby and Melinda, two lonely people whose lives are forever changed the night they encounter a starving coyote at their apartment building. Over time they grow to expect him, leaving ritual offerings to entice the coyote every night. Toby and Melinda forge a connection over this visitor and share curiosity and concern about his presence in the city. The coyote expands their world–until, one night, their world is shattered. Their lives are pushed suddenly into uncharted territory, sending them on a surreal odyssey that changes their city–and the world–forever.
Directed by LX Miller. Starring Max Schneider and Denise Hergett
