Spotlight product
Roadkill Roosters. Whole birds ready for the grill. These have been a customer favorite since we opened. They are semi-boned marinated chickens that sit flat on the grill. Super easy for a crowd, and lots of crispy deliciousness. I grilled my new favorite, the Sweet Chili Garlic, in the dark on a grill I did not know, and didn’t screw it up. Now that’s saying something! Try one this weekend. $5.99/lb.
Fresh Fish:
- Opah Kabobs. A perfect match for you and your grill. Marinated in a miso honey sauce. $10.99/lb.
- Palani Limu. A vegetarian fish? This Hawaiian snapper eats only vegetarian: seaweed mostly, which gives them a sweet, tangy, ocean taste. They can only be caught by divers with spears.
Eat a Peach Specials:
- Fire roasted peach and corn salsa. Hot, sweet, and smoky. Westword has this recipe at the Café Society blog, or buy it ready made here starting Saturday.
- Ela Farms fresh and juicy peaches. Colorado Gold. My favorite way to eat them: Kellogg’s corn flakes, Morning Fresh Dairy whole milk, and brown sugar.
- Fresh Peach Pies. “You’re my blue sky, you’re my sunny day.” Whole pies sell very fast, but you’ll find plenty of slices tonight at Burger Night.
