Our local farmers are bursting at the seams with sweet, crispy, flavorful peppers, but they won’t be around for long, so now is the time to take advantage and make the traditional Southern Italian dish, Peperonata. We take the peppers and saute’ them with a little garlic, fennel and onion then roast them in a pan with the chicken thighs, stock and a little white wine till the chicken is tender, golden and crispy. Served with fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes and plenty of the succulent pan juices. Get them while you can!

We cut our strip steaks in-house the traditional way, leaving the outer edge rimmed with a bit of the fat cap. If you would like us to trim it fat-free, just let us know. The meat is rubbed with coarse salt, black pepper and rosemary, then grilled and served the way James Beard liked it—with a dollop of herbed butter and a tangle of crispy fried onions. Served with our buttermilk mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.

It’s back, and better than ever. Slices of pork tenderloin are gently pounded into cutlets, salt and peppered, and seared on the hot griddle, then plated and spooned with our version of jezebel sauce, the tastiest thing in the world. In Texas, jezebel is peach jam spiked with horseradish and mustard. They pour it over a block of cream cheese and serve it with crackers. Here we add a glug of heavy cream to our homemade fresh peach jezebel, and in a few minutes on the stove it becomes a warm and heavenly sauce for pork. Served with our buttermilk mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.
