If you thought our baby back rib quesadilla was good, just wait until you see what Chef Danielle cooked up this week. 🔥

She took our house-smoked brisket and let it slow-cook in a traditional, rich, homemade birria consommé until it was tender. Then, she packed it into a crispy tortilla with gooey Chihuahua cheese, black bean corn salsa, and a drizzle of cilantro jalapeño crema. 🤤

Oh, and she’s serving it with a side of southwest ranch for the ultimate dip.

Danielle and the kitchen crew outdid themselves with this one. Come treat yourself to a real lunch break today!

Our quiche has been a community favorite for a long time, but Chef Danielle wanted to make sure our gluten-free friends could enjoy it too.

It took some tweaking behind the scenes, but she absolutely nailed it. The new potato-based crust is SO delicious, and it's quickly become a new staple on the cafe menu.

Come try it for yourself!

Fun fact about Chef Danielle: she is a total perfectionist when it comes to the smoker. 🔥

She’s at the cafe early in the morning, making sure the wood-fired flavor is absolutely perfect before the lunch rush even starts. Piled high on a toasted bun with a side of crisp coleslaw—you can literally taste the dedication in every single bite. 🤤✨

Treat yourself to a real lunch break today. You’ve earned it!

Comfort food, but make it gourmet. 🔥 Our feature this week is a house-made smoked meatloaf served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes!

This feature comes with a fun backstory! Rodney, our project expediter at , is a bit of a meatloaf connoisseur. He came up with a fantastic recipe and brought it in for Chef Danielle to try. She loved it so much that she asked for the recipe and recreated it for the cafe.

This classic comfort food gets a serious upgrade in our house smoker, giving every bite a rich, savory, wood-fired flavor. It’s smoky, juicy, and exactly what your lunch break needs. 🤤
