4th & Swift

October 2011 

A Note from Jay

 

It's fall and I love the fall. We've rolled out the fall seasonal menu so let us know what you think. Of course the market menu will continue to showcase the best of what's available at the moment. Time and place is everything. We try to cook and to pour in a way that's reminiscent of past seasons. Or will be in future ones. Speaking of stuff that's seasonal, we're doing our second annual Bourbon and Bordeaux Game Dinner on Nov. 10. I'm thinking about pheasant, venison, rabbit, duck, wild boar and maybe even emu or ostrich.  I'll have to see what's available at that time and place. Seth is working to finalize the Bordeaux and bourbon pairings for dinner and the dessert. Also, Kevin is using house-made winter squash syrups, toasted chestnuts and other sweet and savory wonders in his cocktails, as the cocktail menu is about to change as well.  Now is a good time to catch up on what's great about fall at 4th & Swift. I hope to see you soon.

 

P.S. Don't forget about Sunday Supper South this weekend.  Some of the best chefs from the Southeast will be there and it supports a great cause: The James Beard Foundation.

 

P.S.S. Thank you to our Facebook fans who are joining us every Monday for our 4th & Swift trivia!
