Fried Green Tomato Sandwich with Bacon and Goat Cheese

Wiley — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:29:36 +0000

Sliced, coated in breadcrumbs and fried to golden brown, green tomatoes soften and sweeten with cooking and become a special treat. Here they are teamed with smoky Nueske’s bacon, a slathering of goat cheese, lettuce and caper mayo to make a great summer sandwich. Served with fries or vinaigrette-dressed greens.

Fish Tacos

Three fresh fish tacos in soft corn tortillas with shredded cabbage, our vibrant salsa verde and smoky, spicy chipotle mayo. The fish melts in your mouth, the salsa is zingy, and the earthy flavor of the tortilla brings it all together. Served with crisp fries or vinaigrette dressed greens.

Summer Panzanella

Wiley — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:23:29 +0000

Panzanella is an Italian salad of vegetables at their peak, tossed with herbs, cheese and cubes of bread. I can’t get enough of this kind of thing right now. DLM Grains of the Earth bread is cut and toasted lightly to order, then tossed while still warm with local tomatoes and basil, peppers, fennel, capers, white beans and a lively vinaigrette, then garnished with shaved Parmigiano Reggiano. The vegetables have flavor beyond any other time of year, the bread is so good and soaks up just enough of the dressing to make you swoon, and you realize you are eating the exact rustic, fresh, seasonal thing at the exact right moment here in Dayton. How great is that?
