Good Morning Chatham!!

Here we are approaching Memorial Day weekend. Lots of springy deliciousness on the menu for this week. Asparagus is looking especially good and Samascott Farm is our go to. The vegetable quiche is filled with asparagus, spring onion, a little lemon zest, a bit of tarragon and a handful of parmigiano reggiano. The ‘other salad’ is very green with steamed asparagus, creamy flageolet beans, cucumber and artichokes, sweet roasted red peppers add punch and lots of fresh chevil with shallot vin over Blue Star lettuces. In sandwich world, asparagus and hard boiled egg with pea shoot pesto, cucumber and aioli on baguette is a winner.The meat sandwich is Calabrese salami with fresh mozzarella, giardiniera, arugula and aioli on baguette. The minestra is light and brothy and topped with spinach pesto. New lasagne is al bianco, aka white with béchamel, a little funky with taleggio cheese and filled with spinach, sweet peas, spring onions and mushrooms. Insalata di patate was a hit last summer and it is back. Sesame noodles are here to stay as is our roast chicken and special salad. Rhubarb lovers we’ve got a hand-pie I think you’ll like. And lastly, Yundwell eggs are back!!

As always, Michael will be taking your calls beginning at 9am.
