Breakfast News! Check out our Wednesday quick breads for breakfast.  What will it be?   Our banana bread with chocolate chips and coconut?  Or Chef Tess’s blueberry biscuit baked fresh in the morning?  Or an entirely new creation? Come and find out.

Did you know that we make our own chicken stock and our own BBQ sauce for our Barbeque Chicken Soup?  Chef Dan takes time to build flavors and make a tasty from-scratch soup that will warm you down to your toes. Last day to try it is Friday February 2.

Quarter 3 menu starts February 5.  Stay tuned!

Fun Fact:  When Chef Tess was twelve years old she and her Aunt lived in Thailand for nine months.  After landing in Bangkok at 2:00 AM, the first thing she ate was a spicy chicken and rice soup.  That dish opened her mind and senses to a new way of thinking about food, especially spices.  Her adventurous spirit continues to serve her (and our community) very well.

See you soon in the lunch line!

Your friends in the Great River kitchen, Dan,Tess, Julie and Mel
