Last month, we had the honor of being awarded the 2024 Produce Excellence in Foodservice Award for Casual & Family Dining Restaurants at the IFPA Foodservice Conference in Monterey (say that five times fast 😆).

Wow, what an amazing experience! We toured , spoke on a panel about empowering women in foodservice, and enjoyed great food with new friends.

Chef Grace's dedication to using the highest quality ingredients, especially local farm produce, is what makes me so proud of what we do.

Thank you and FreshEdge for this amazing experience, and for for the nomination!

Most importantly, thank you to every single one of our guests who supports us and our mission to provide the best food using the best ingredients. ❤

There’s nothing basic about this grilled cheese. Challah bread from .baking is spread with blueberry & basil brie spread made using berries and melted with cheddar and provolone cheese. Add thick-cut bacon to take it up a notch, and enjoy the explosion of flavors in this decadent, melty grilled cheese.

Have you tried it?

What makes our fried chicken so special?

1. We start with the best ingredients. We use Green Circle Chicken which is certified humane and sustainable with farm-to-table traceability. The chickens are raised on small family farms where they have year-round access to the outdoors, they're fed surplus vegetables from markets, and they have the ability to forage naturally.

2. We've perfected our brining, breading and dredging technique with a proprietary spice mix for just the right flavor, juiciness, and crispiness. 👌

Here are three ways you can enjoy our fried chicken:
- Fried chicken sandwich on a ranch biscuit with pickled red onions, buckwheat honey mayo, and pimiento cheese (brunch)
- Fried chicken and creamy grits with hot honey and herb salad (dinner)
- Add it on to any seasonal salad or grain bowl
(P.S. we use the same chicken for our kids chicken nuggets!)
