Second to last market breakfast that Underground's doing this year. One this Saturday and one on the 15th of april. Tomorrow were making 500 or so crepes and maybe another 300 on saturday morning. Its also jonnys birthday tomorrow, so that means well get a bottle of scotch and make crepes. Breakfast will be a sweet crepe made with some of Josh Engle's winter luxury pumpkins, Felix's chevre sweetened with a little of Marsden's honey. Accompanying that will be a savory crepe filled with smoked ham shoulder, garlic, onions spinach and parmesan. Foods up at 8.30
Ill put up a picture for those who cant make it.

Look, the menu may be wisco ish, and theres kitch like lazy susans, but how can you call it a tribute to Wisconsin heritage if most of your food products come from a food distributer based out of texas. Im from texas, and rather love the whole texas scene, but its nothing at all like wisconsin. Ok fine whatever, its on the square and people line up for hours outside in the middle of winter. Show me a real wisconsinite that would do that.

Ive been there and i even enjoyed some of the food, but if your gonna build so much hype out of a whole lot of nothin then do it with out despoiling wisco heritage. Thats all I got to say.

The catering season has hit full swing, this next saturday we have four events, a breakfast for 300 (at the senior center) a lunch for 16, a lamb tasting for 40 and a thai dinner for 40. Its kinda invigorating. Seems like we know what we want to do this summer, we almost worked out the details, and were ready to go. Lets see how we come down in the fall or if we keep on being busy.
