Summer Tastes sourced within Winneshiek county in Iowa
What a great idea, admittedly not my own nor the first to do it either, but something that the restaurant where I work strives to do everyday… until the dead of February any how. The timing could not be better either, the blazing heat of august allows all of our favorite veggies to come to most pleasurable. Our mind already jumps to ripe, dense eggplants, freshly scrubbed new potatoes, beautiful tender sweet corn, over abundant summer squashes, fragrant herbs of every variety perfuming the air, and let us not forget multi-hued juicy tomatoes. How could summer around Decorah be any better?
So why not make it a of a challenge? So all the food will be limited to what can and is produced, raised or prepared within the confines of Winneshiek county. With the only except I can think of… salt (and my preference Morton’s Kosher salt). Unless somebody can think of something we could not possibly find or exchange. So in addition to all the photos we usually take, we will included photos all the sources of the food (hopefully) or at least write out where each product came from and who produced/raised it. Wish us luck.
So with summer in all it’s glory we present the layout for the menu of Round 7: Local Summer
[ Lots of Herbs / Turnover ]
[ Tomato / Salad ]
[ Sweet Corn / Soup ]
[ Pork Confit / Ratatouille ]
[ Puff Pastry / Summer Fruit ]
We will also offer a Vegan, GF option as well in addition in the regular menu. Dinner will be $45 per person and possible have a drink pairing as well. More details on the menu and drinks will come soon. BYOB is still encouraged as well.
That night we will offer two seating, 5:30 and 7:45 pm, on Sunday September 8th 2013. Seating will be limited to 20 people per seating. Please email all reservations or question to Driftlessfood@gmail.com . We look forward to serving some amazing food that night.
Thanks,
