Special Dinner #82

We get exceptionally good fish from the MF Foley Company out on the Massachusetts coast. While the Foley’s folks aren’t “local” in the sense of having an office or a dock down on South State St., they do actually fill the bill for us in that sense rather remarkably well. The key for us when it comes to our drive to localize is that we have a positive, meaningful relationship with the people and products we work with and that we carry the benefits of that good relationship all the way through to our customers who buy and benefit from what we sell.

James Beard-nominated Chef Alex Young will craft a menu drawing on his long-time relationship with Foley’s, reflecting fresh fish from the East Coast.

Special Dinner #79

James Beard-nominated Chef Alex Young began a garden 5 years ago as a way to spend more time with his family and also make really great food. They way he describes it, there was an added excitement in serving a food to guests which you not only cooked, but also grew, yourself. Today, Chef Alex’s Garden is a full-fledged farm, growing over 130 varieties of more than 27 types of vegetables. What began as a plot of heirloom tomatoes has doubled in size each year and now includes livestock such as pigs and cattle.

Cornman Farms has a passion for full-flavor and taste plays a big part in what plants are chosen to grow. Varieties are chosen for their complexity of flavor and ability to thrive in Michigan’s climate and then nurtured in a way that embraces the concept of organic.
Throughout the growing season, vegetables are prepared and served just hours after being picked.

The late summer season brings us favorites like late harvest Provenzano, German Red Strawberry and Aunt Ruby’s German Green tomatoes; Italian roasting peppers like Lipstick and Italia; other peppers such as Hungarian hot wax and Hinklehatz; Bintje and German Butterball potatoes; yellow, orange and purple heirloom carrots and lots of spinach, arugula, Cherokee red lettuce and radishes will make a comeback. As days grow shorter, our menu will reflect gleanings from the autumnal field.
