Special Dinner #76

The Heirloom Harvest dinners have been so popular over the past few years that we’ve agreed to feature three across the growing season!
Cornman Farms is a pet project of Chef Alex’s that began with a field of heirloom tomatoes and has grown to a multi-acre farm growing a wide variety of flavorful, heirloom produce to serve on Roadhouse plates! Each dinner will be designed to focus on what Chef Alex and Farmer Mark are harvesting at the time. As we follow the growing season, the menus will vary to reflect the diferent vegetables being served at that moment. The series of Heirloom Harvest dinners will culminate with a menu reflecting the preservation of foods for sustenance over the winter months.

Special Dinner #77

Southern Foodways Alliance (www.southernfoodways.com) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to document and celebrate the diverse food cultures of the South. Their research has helped bring Roadhouse staples such as Eastern North Carolina pulled pork barbecue, Mason Tennessee buttermilk fried chicken, Anson Mills grits to Ann Arbor and even Edwards’ bacon to Ann Arbor.

Sam Edwards, whose bacon will be served at this dinner, will be our special guest. He’ll share stories from his almost-century-old family business, and talk about putting the flavor back in bacon! (Check the recent article in the New York Times.)

The dinner, crafted by James Beard-nominated Chef Alex Young, and excerpted from Ari’s latest book, Zingerman’s Guide to Better Bacon, will feature bacon from beginning to end. Starting with appetizers, bacons hailing from all around the country will be the star of each course, including dessert. With vastly different flavor profiles (think olive oil here) these bacons represent the nuanced flavors of the better bacon being made by passionate individuals like Sam Edwards!

Join us for a fun and flavorful look at one our country’s most beloved foods: Bacon!
