Bringing it back to the grub today as chef shows his ability to take something simple (a gosh darn carrot!!) & make it delicious by somehow making it even more carrot-y & totally un-carrot-y at the same time Is it witchcraft?? (Most likely)
Is it math? (“If I take this carrot, multiply it by the square root of carrot juices & {subtract}the co-efficient of koji then multiply by Pi….”)
Either way, same result: perfect carrots.
We’re also into taking classics, tweakin’ & twistin’ until we have something unique without taking away the simple pleasures of a tried & true dish (meat n potaters anyone? Yes! Us! All the time please).

To most of you this is just a boring pic of a boring beer with some boring taps & some boring stainless.
BUT, some of you out there looking at this pic (possibly of the beer nerdery persuasion) this is a very exciting photo of a very exciting beer, with some very very exciting taps next to some exciting stainless…actually wait, no, the stainless is still boring haha oh well.
Those of the beer nerdery persuasion would know they are looking at the brand new additions to our draft line up the “Side Pour” faucet.
They just arrived from Czech Rep. yesterday & we’re excited to start pouring some of our Pilsner’s & Lagers using them.
Essentially the Side Pour tap changes the carbonation in the beer to create a silky smooth, creamier mouth feel & also bring out some different characteristics in the hops & malts.
We love how it changes certain beers.
We’ve tried to pick a couple that we think would be enhanced by the side pour. This week we’re doing Kingmaker Euro Style Pilsner & the Vienna Lager.
We’ll switch up the beers as we go but for now we encourage you to head down & try out this traditional way of pouring pilsner & lagered beers for yourself!

We’ve switched up the vegetarian pasta feature once again & we’re feeling pretty great about this one.

We wanna say something cheeky or maybe a lil’ bit silly but we’re feeling quite serious today & we’re thinking maybe it’s because of the seriousness of this dish that has put us in a seriously serious state of seriousness:

Gnudi, charred leeks, split whey sauce, chive oil & grana padano

Good morning sunshine!
Whilst dinner might be low on your list of priorities at this particular moment we interrupt your morning insta-rabbit hole algorithmic feed of augmented reality Ray-ban ads, Japanese style pants, highly efficient “manscaping” devices (& whatever you were talking about last night with your friends) with something delicious (maybe we’re listening too📲👂🏽)
