While this plate is intended for sharing, we can’t blame you for wanting one all to yourself! This dish really hits all the notes for me. Warm flatbread, decadent cashew cream cheese, perfectly spiced hummus, and rotating pickled things (all made in house I might add!) Pictured above you’ll see some sea asparagus, beets, and snap peas, but if you run to be love right now Rick has these lacto-fermented jostaberries that you just have to try. Honestly, I could go on and on about this dish. Come and get it before it’s gone!
