PushStart Kitchen
Saturday, May 26th


So, a few of you may already know this but this is our last week before we turn ONE!  PushStart's birthday is right around the corner and with that big change comes another...we're getting a bigger table!  


Some fellas on the farm found a hundred year old work table that's been buried in the detritus of left over factory stuff.  They've been working for the past month, sanding it down, acid washing the legs, and resurfacing it...and now it's ready, just in time.  I've been told it's going to take a team of six guys just to carry the top of the table!  All that said, we're gonna have some extra seats to fill!  


This is also our second week into writing all of our menu based on the veggies that are being growed up in our back yard at Fresh Roots Farm.  We're loving being able to use the amazing produce that is literally steps from our door.  Doesn't get more local than that.  


We'can't wait to have you!


MENU
(includes wine pairings)

-Cocktails + canapes
-Roasted backyard squash, tomato marmalade, charred heirloom cucumber, parmesan ice cream, black olive powder
-Slow cooked hen with leg confit agnolotti, backyard mustard greens, preserved lemon chantilly, roasted onion broth

Celebrating all things Southern.  That's really what we try to do but not just the American South but the DEEP South.  Central American South.  I've always been amazed and excited about the overlap between the two kitchens and love to try and hover right above the crossover.  I think it's remarkable how similar the two are while remaining totally distinct.  It creates a wonderful place to study, play and even more importantly...EAT!  Here's our Menu coming up for next weekend.  We're looking forward to having y'all around our table!




MENU
(includes wine pairings)


-Cocktails + canape
-Beet carpaccio, blood orange, candied fennel, dried black olive, rye, horseradish cream
-Pork shoulder confit, pimento cheese pupusa, lemon serrano slaw, roasted tomato molasses, chicharron croquant
-Citrus shortcake, strawberries fresh/dried/candied/cooked, cardamom panna cotta
-Candy + cordial
