Oprah Winfrey invests in Central California cafe

Impressed with a tasty curry chicken sandwich, Oprah Winfrey decided to invest in the Art Cafe and Bakery.

The Tribune News.com reports that Winfrey who was in town for a meeting with Tim Bennett, president of her Harpo Productions, said "It turns out this was the most expensive sandwich I've ever had," She appeared for a photo shoot at the restaurant slated to run in October in her magazine, O.

Oprah hadn't even seen the cafe when she offered to invest. The cafe owner, Margaux Sky, was surprised and elated considering she had plans to sell her cafe about an hour before Winfrey's offer came through. Sky said she had been working 12 to 15 hours a day, baking her homemade breads before dawn and preparing other fixings as late as 6 p.m. She was just getting tired of working the long hours.

"Women try to do too much instead of reaching out and asking for support so they can do what they do better," Winfrey said. "Always do your best, because you never know who's watching."
