Closing at 3 today for a catering.

Photo from yesterday. My Saturday ritual is to stop at the market on my bike ride in to work and grab some veggies to go into the week's raita and dhal. This week I picked up some asparagus for our raita and chard for the next batch of dhal. Support your local farms and value add food producers!

Picked up some Mizuna from as an addition to our cabbage salad this week. This variety is "Pinky Pop" with just a hint of color in the stems and like all Mizuna it has a mild pepper bite and slight bitterness. We love working with local farmers and highlighting their products on our menu!

We're at Thu to Mon 1130am to 8pm.

Slow rainy afternoons are for R&D. Chicken thighs marinated in Gochujang, chickpea , mayo, and house curry powder. Pan fried to perfection and finished with smoked turmeric salt. This would make a pretty bomb skewer. 🤔
