A Note from Jay
I will be launching my blog this week. Go check it out. I will be blogging about food, wine, beer, gardening and
farming, and the restaurant business in general. I may even delve into some social and political issues that
affect our business, our diet and American food culture. I'm looking forward to
seeing the comments people post. Hope that you log on!
Well, summer is coming to an end and we are beginning to
think about the fall menu. Though
beautiful tomatoes, corn and legumes continue to come in, we're  excited about
planning for fall root veggies like parsnips, turnips and rutabagas, the winter
squashes like butternut, spaghetti squash and pumpkin and the tree fruits as
well. We just got in an early case
of quinces - we are using them in a chutney that we will serve with fresh Ham at Taste of Atlanta in October and want to work on the recipe.
A couple of upcoming events that you don't want to miss. The Emory University Sustainable Food Fair is next Friday on
campus on Cox Bridge from 10:30 am until 1:00 pm. We'll
have a table there so stop by and sample some of our fresh farm-to-table
cooking and help us promote food sustainability.
Don't miss the
Fall in the 4th Festival on September 26!
We've already reserved two 70-pound pigs to roast on our Caja
China Grill. Plus we'll
be rolling our wood burning grill onto the patio to cook fresh veggies and
fish. Enjoy Fingerling Potato
Salad, Horseradish-Watercress Slaw, Heirloom Tomatoes and more. It's all you can eat for $20 per
person plus a cash bar. What a great way to celebrate the coming of
fall.
 Check us out on Facebook and become a Fan! Our Facebook Fans receive advance notice about our culinary events, wine dinners and are the first to know about new menu items. And of course, expect a few surprises!
Keep on reading for details about other fall happenings at 4th & Swift.
Love your mama ~ Eat real food!
