everyday cook

Everyday Cook is a new restaurant in town. We decided to check it out and have a fancy schmancy lunch today.

The chef/owner only serves lunch Tues.-Sat. He uses lots of local produce from the farmers' market which happens to be right downstairs from the restaurant. The most original thing about the place is that everyday the menu changes. Typically, the chef offers a soup, a couple of meat entrees, a veggie entree, and a dessert.

Here was today's menu:

Pork, Chipotle, and Blue Corn Soup

Delmonico Steak with Blue Cheese Chop House Salad

Seared Tuna with Ginger-Plum Glaze, served with Cucumber Salad and Rice

Roasted Chicken with Squash Salsa and Steamed Rice

Baked Potato Skins with Summer Vegetables and Cheese, served with a Side Salad

Roasted Pears with Vanilla Ice Cream

We chose the tuna and the steak and shared the dessert. The kitchen is open so we watched the chef sear the tuna and grill the steak. He even served the dishes himself. G & I ate every morsel and can't wait to make a return trip.
