I always thought it would be a cool idea to do a bacon menu. I’ve done it at home and once or twice for a specific guest in the restaurant, so I decided to create a menu around our housemade bacon. We have a 3 course menu, including a dessert of taffy apple pie, with housemade bacon brittle ice cream.
I’m so surprised at the response that we’ve gotten from the newsletter we sent out. I never knew people had such a preoccupation with smoked pork belly!
We also are asking guests, and visitors to our site, to email with suggestions of topics for our upcoming prix fixe menus. Every month we will change the ingredient and create a menu, for $30.00, around it. Some suggestions we’ve already received are chantrelle mushrooms, avocado, raspberries, etc.
I love the involvement!

Is the bacon menu available all the time? My daughter is facing her 30th birthday and it would help dampen the pain to feed her a bacon menu. It sounds wonderful!
Chef, have you ever tried bacon infused vodka?
Also, as a suggestion- it might be really neat to do a dinner with all cocktail pairings rather than wine pairings.
