It Goes Something Like This...

Hot peppers and chocolate=good

If you still haven't managed to make it to the cafe, this weekend's specials just might make the trip out worth it to you...

This weekend we've got (drum roll please...):

Cacao del Diablo
We're bringing back our drinking chocolate with a vengeance. I've cooked up a dairy base chock full of Calabria peppers, orange zest, vanilla bean and cinnamon, only to be combined with a pinch of sel gris and some divinely rich chocolate. Steamed by us for you, per order. Hey-yo!

LRBC's Threepeat Challah French Toast
Back by popular demand (okay, so we got like three emails abut it), our challah french toast served with orange-poppy seed butter and a fresh strawberry-rhubarb compote

Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Hawaiian Style
We're paying tribute to my Hawaiian roots with a tender and juicy pulled pork sandwich on buttered, toasted ciabatta with pineapple slaw. Served with mac salad (but of course) and sweet gherkin pickles

And for dessert...

Homemade Toasted Coconut-Chocolate Pudding
We've added our own twist but again, Heidi is really the Goddess who truly deserves credit for this one

And let's not forget, let's NOT forget...

Mini French Puffs
Mocha Bread Pudding
Applewood Smoked Bacon, White Cheddar, and Asparagus Strata
Strawberry Rhubarb Tart
Cold Brew Coffee
Bloody Beers
Strawberry-Rhubarb Sorbet
Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
and our soon-to-be-famous (fingers crossed)...
Fire Ants on a Log

(Celery w/ almond butter and cranberries)

But alas, is that the Lucky Old Sun I see shining in our beloved Portland? Why yes, I do believe it is.

Ohhhhh yeah
...Let's do this.
