This weekend’s Swordfish Spiedino… an ode to Sicily. 🐟🔥

Tommie builds his fish marinade with a*****y and layers of flavor before pouring it over skewered Cape May Swordfish and letting it all marry before it hits the grill.

The finished dish comes together with gold potato and eggplant caponata, roasted carrot-cumin purée, lemon basil pesto and toasted pine nuts — bright, savory and packed with flavor from the marinade all the way to the plate.

It started with figs growing right here at Cafe Mezz. Inspired by Bobby’s Triple Threat, Tommie put his own spin on Chicken Bastilla — a Moroccan dish that brings sweet, savory, citrusy and aromatic flavors together in one seriously flavorful bite.

Braised guinea hen meets ras el hanout, saffron, cinnamon, orange blossom water, almonds, dates and fresh figs, with bright hits of lemon and orange zest. Then Tommie wraps it all up into a little purse of flaky phyllo and finishes the dish with cured egg yolk.

And those figs have a story of their own. Some come straight from the Cafe Mezz garden, and when fig trees around Severna Park are producing, local gardeners have even been known to call Tommie to come pick theirs. ❤️

A little inspiration, ingredients growing in our own backyard, and a whole lot of flavor.

If you know Cafe Mezz, you know we really mean it when we say we’re a family. ❤️

Our beloved Robin is starting her next chapter in Florida, and this little moment between her and Tommie says so much about what makes Mezz special.

Ask many of the people who have been here for years why they stay, and one name comes up again and again: Tommie. He leads with love, makes people feel valued, and has created a place where people genuinely feel like they belong.

Robin will be with us through September 12, so come by, let her take care of you one more time, and give her some love before she goes. As Tommie says, “None of us are happy about it, but we accept her decision.” ❤️

We love you, Robin. Florida is lucky to have you.

When local Little Sweetie cantaloupe is this good, you let it shine. This weekend’s Prosciutto e Salume e Melon starts with locally grown Little Sweetie cantaloupe and whipped burrata, then gets layered with 24-month prosciutto, fennel salame, balsamic crema, organic watercress, toasted pistachio, fennel pollen dukkah and EVOO.

Sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy — and a pretty good example of what happens when you let incredible seasonal ingredients do the talking.

And who better to give it a taste test than Sweet Leda + Mama's Black Sheep ? 🎶 They stopped by Cafe Mezz this week ahead of Art in the Park, and Tommie made sure they didn’t leave hungry.

Available as a Chef’s Addition this weekend at Cafe Mezz.
