Casalingo, delicately flavored.
Tartulo, a classic pork salami with summer black truffles.
Sopressata, garlic and red wine make it robust.
Wild Boar, our favorite!
Cheeses from Around the World, and Around the Corner.
Neal’s Yard Shropshire Blue. Like a Colorado sunset. Sweet and earthy with a spicy blue finish.
Brescianella Stagionata. Stinky, nutty, and delicious. Nice to serve a cheese like this outside…
CarrValleyCranberry Chipotle Cheddar. Sweet, hot and cheddary. Especially good with a Dale’s Pale Ale!
Other great picnic ideas on our funky feature table: fancy tuna, stuffed grape leaves, baked giant beans from Greece, tapenades, even sardines!
Summer grilling.
Meat and Seafood. The truth is in the taste.
Baby Back ribs. Meaty! These can go right on the grill with a dry rub. Boil the ribs first? Here’s one opinion: Amazing Ribs http://www.amazingribs.com/. $8.99/lb.
St Louise Ribs. Huge flavor! Jimmy the butcher says these are the ribs you need to bake first. Give them a little rub that is both savory and sweet, put them in a low oven (250) for about 2 hours, and finish them on the grill. All Niman Ranch, all the time. $6.99/lb.
Wild Chinook King Salmon. Troll caught in an open Canadian ocean. Fresh, rich and buttery. Market price.
Hawaiian sashimi fish. Fresh! It’s different every Friday, call us for the fresh catch. 303 894-9499. Market price.
Marinated Steak Tips. Just for the Easterners! Marinated with Canadian Steak seasoning. $15.99/lb.
Flanken-style Korean BBQ Short Ribs. A unique cut makes these cook quickly. Cut thin and through the bone, then marinated in sesame oil, soy, and honey. They make a great appetizer. $11.99/lb.
Summer Pie.
