We’ve got a good one for you this weekend.

14 oz hand-cut USDA Prime New York strip with creamy polenta, broccolini, and a mushroom & onion Chianti reduction.

Come hungry.

I also have it on good authority that Katie made a fresh peach upside-down pound cake, and Lauren is crafting some delicious peach basil Hugo Spritzes at the bar.

We’re taking full advantage of Missouri peach season while we can.

Ciao.

Katie has a new dessert feature for the weekend.

Upside-down peach cobbler pound cake, served warm with vanilla ice cream and bourbon caramel.

Fresh Missouri peaches, warm buttery pound cake, bourbon caramel and melting vanilla ice cream. You probably don’t need much convincing.

Shout out to Bader Farms for their amazing produce!

Happy birthday Kathy!
