Folks,
My friend Maya will host us for an offline. She’s been getting great press Mae Settles in Behind Old Salt Marketplace - Eater Portland on her pop ups and I’d like to support her efforts to expand toward a full restaurant.
Tickets for the food are available here (BYO a Vintage Champagne!)
About half of people so far are bringing significant others.
Here’s the menu she plans, subject to harvest conditions:
- baby carrots, black garlic & house-roasted coffee mayo, brown butter crunch
- “she crab” soup: our version of the southern classic, made with Oregon dungeness crab
- angel biscuits and stoneground white cornbread with relish tray: pimento cheese, summer pickles, shaved 16 month aged country ham from Allan Benton, sorghum butter with smoked salt, strawberry spruce tip jam
- buttermilk brined chicken, fried in three fats
- carolina gold rice & sea island red pea hoppin’ john
- baked anson mills coarse yellow grits with smoked Tillamook cheddar
- roasted cauliflower, brown butter vinaigrette, benne & chervil
- butternut squash farroto with compressed apple & pecan salad
I decided to do tickets so we don’t have to worry about no-shows. I’m not profiting in any way.
