Special Dinner #92

We’ve pretty much tried just about everything and discovered that bacon is one of our favorite, full-flavored ingredients.  We should know – we wrote the book on it! Join us for a dinner, featuring bacon in almost every course – even dessert.  Chef Alex will create a menu using Ari’s book, Zingerman’s Guide to Better Bacon as a starting point.  And Ari will share stories of bacon, writing, cooking and eating.

BOTH DINNERS ARE SOLD OUT!

Seven years after he visited the Roadhouse (before it opened) to teach the traditional Eastern North Carolina whole hog barbecue style we still use today, Ed Mitchell will return to the Roadhouse.  He and Chef Alex will spend three days preparing for a two-day feast of traditional barbecue styles from all over the country.  You can count on really great ingredients, like grass-fed meats managed by Cornman Farms – our very own farm in Dexter, MI, plenty of local vegetables, and all your favorite fixin’s.
