More new menu items this week! I was first introduced to Little Gem lettuce nearly a decade ago from our chef and have been in love with them ever since.
I remember not being quite smart enough to understand what he meant when he described them to me for the first time, which is tough when a big part of your job as a bartender in a restaurant is answering questions about the food.
But after serving them to so many delighted guests over the years and certainly after having prepared them at home myself, I can say that how I think of them is as a sort of cross between the crunchiness of romaine lettuce, mixed with that soft, dark green vibe of butter leaf lettuce. So basically two of my favorites in one.
Chris is serving it with a buttermilk-tarragon dressing, shaved radishes, and these pillowy-soft, yet very crunchy-on-the-outside croutons that makes the whole thing my new favorite salad of the summer. We'll be back at it from 4PM until 8PM tonight, and big thanks to everyone who helped make last night our busiest one yet! This team likes to work, and we love working together.
