New Menu and Corn!!




Hi Y'all! Menu change is official as of last night-now don't worry we still have many of the favorites such as our Reuben, Fall City dip, and of course our burger's with my grandma's homemade pickles! There are just some particularly scrumpdillyicous additions such as; The Buffalo chicken Burger-smothered in our spiked chili sauce, with crumbled blue cheese, fresh lettuce from valley farms, blue cheese for dipping and crisp fresh fries! Or The BLTA croissant-toasted buttery croissant slathered with mayonnaise, valley lettuces, peppered bacon, vine-ripened tomatoes (when we have tomatoes from the farm this one will be even better-imagine the juice's of an heirloom tomato running down your chin! Now that screams summer-when I was a kid we called this an over the sink sandwich so the juices can be washed down the sink)ok back to the sandwich-we put fresh avocado, served with fries....a ..... YUMMMY!!




Chicken and Prosciutto Baguette-grilled chicken breast with fresh basil, prosciutto, arugula, tomato and provolone melted all over the prosciutto-don't forget the smackle of mayonnaise!




Now we move to dinner-


We have the Duck and Berry-boneless duck breast seared to puuuurrfection, topped with a marion-berry and blueberry demi-glace, our wonderful mashed potatoes and farm fresh veggies




1/2 rack pork ribs, or a full rack if you want-yes that is right-we are serving up the ribs every night!! We are slow cooking these ribs for 8 hours and then slapping on our Jack Daniels bbq sauce served with our famous country slaw, and mashers




Baked chicken Ricotta-tender boneless chicken breast stuffed with a variety of greens, ricotta cheese, manchego cheese, boursin baked to puuuurfection and then topped with our lightly cream tomato sauce and fresh basil, roasted potatoes and valley veggies




Portobello Croissant Sandwich lightly marinated mushroom, lettuce, tomato, roasted pepper, our pesto, provolone-over the moon good!




fish taco's at lunch! Veggie Risotto with english peas from Full circle Farm!




Busy busy bee's we are at the Roadhouse


So come on in and Check it out!




Especially with these hotter day's coming-why cook and make your house all hot-come see us and let me do the cooking, and have someone serve you scrumpdillyicous smackerlings!

Nancy came out to see us this week and brought her camera. Now that it is staying light past 6pm we are enjoying many beautiful sites in the valley! I have added several of you celebrating and gathering in the last week. A mini high school reunion, 35th wedding anniversary, and last night several Birthday's. Next week we will be hosting the end of the basketball season with several of the local teams. If you are thinking about coming in on Sunday afternoon-I suggest a reservation. Remember we have changed out policy and are now accepting reservations for all size party's. Business is good and We hate to have you wait so call and make a reservation any night of the week. The picture is of Venus and The Moon taken from a front booth thru the window with a reflection of our hanging lights. The other picture was taken from outside the restaurant.

A week of LOVAHS Spring is in the Air







Phew!



What a week at the Roadhouse! Sharlett had a wonderful open house and her art has brought a touch of whimsy to the restaurant and the inn. Beautiful flowers are blooming all around the restaurant!




Thank you everyone for coming out to celebrate Love this last weekend. It was great to see everyone, and meet so many new guests. For us at the Roadhouse we broke records! I am particularly proud of all our staff and how they are stepping up to all of my expectations. We have made some fast changes in the dining room and they are all embracing the new procedures. The noticeable items are candles on the tables in the evening, and large carafes of lemon water on the tables.


The kitchen has been humming along we have Judy joining us this week for her internship we are hoping she will become a permanent part of our family. On the front we brought on Brad and he has become an immediate positive energy! Soon in the kitchen Danny will be helping us bring our soups, sandwiches and egg dishes up to the next level. He made Carrie a beautiful french style omelet, fluffy perfectly cooked, Danny will be an amazing addition to our kitchen. He will be simmering in the kitchen in a week-so look for some exciting new soups, and egg dishes. No pressure Danny :)



So what next at the Roadhouse! Well I have been working with Maria our Pastry Princess to develop some excellent pastry's that are breakfast related, a hint I see Giant Cinnamon rolls in our near future. We are also working on adding bite sized desserts to our regular menu. Our most exciting addition is the new rolls that Maria is making for the restaurant! Soft, warm, homemade!! Yummy!!



Our main farmer Emily, from Full Circle Farm has just informed us that the ground has been broken, tractor's are working and the seeds have hit the dirt!! Now that is something to celebrate. We are featuring some of the ozette potatoes this weekend-these are considered an indigenous potato dating back to the Indian tribes of The Olympic peninsula. These are an excellent addition to our specials.



Matt made an amazing Duck feature with a pomegranate sauce! Wow I think that we have developed a dish that will run up against the Duck and Berry.



The kids in the Valley have been out of school this week. Lucky them-we have seen some kid's coming out with grand parents, great grand parents, dad's with sons for boy's night out! As always we welcome you and your family to come for any reason-it has been great to see everyone enjoy the week off and enjoy our lunch, dinner and our breakfast!

Chef Kevin and I are diligently working on expanding our weekend Breakfast menu. I see waffles, more omelette's, breakfast sandwiches, don't forget the over sized cinnamon rolls.


Now that the sun is shining! Make your way to our House, soon to be your House



The Fall City Roadhouse. We will save you the best seat in the house!!
