Salad: Grilled Chicken Waldorf Salad

Here’s a refreshing take on the traditional Waldorf salad. Enjoy grilled chicken breast served warm, nestled on a bed of mixed baby greens, complemented by crisp apple slices, sweet candied maple walnuts, and tart dried cranberries—all drizzled with a zesty apple cider and mustard vinaigrette.

Soup: Canadian Cheddar Cheese and Beer Soup

Indulge in the ultimate cheese soup, brimming with rich Wisconsin cheddar and a splash of lager beer. It’s garnished with crispy bacon, diced onions, carrots, celery, and red pepper, offering just a hint of fresh jalapeño for that perfect kick. Enjoy it alongside a cheddar cheese and chive muffin for a truly delightful experience.

Sandwich: Bourbon Braised Beef Brisket with Pimiento Cheese

We begin with high-quality beef brisket, slow-braised for more than three hours in a rich medley of vegetables, savory beef stock, delicious stout ale, and a touch of bourbon. Once the meat is tender enough to fall apart, it’s sliced thin and layered with our made-from-scratch pimiento cheese and crispy fried onions, all nestled in a ciabatta roll. We then toast it to a perfect golden brown on our Panini iron. This delightful creation is served with your choice of chips.

Pasta: Cheese Tortellini with Mushrooms and Bacon

Delightful little pasta pockets stuffed with creamy ricotta, crafted from a vibrant mix of spinach, carrot, and egg dough. They’re nestled in a rich tomato sauce, enhanced with roasted red peppers, savory bacon, and mushrooms. To top it off, they’re garnished with crispy fried sage and a sprinkle of Pecorino-Romano cheese.

Entrée: Meatball and Mushroom Stroganoff

Juicy beef and pork meatballs gently cooked in a creamy sour sauce, enriched with button mushrooms. Buttery mashed potatoes, homemade sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh chives accompany this delightful dish.

Combo: Soup, Salad or Sandwich Combo
