Q&A with Chef Irv Miller
Playing it Cool with Summertime Soups

In the heat of summer, chilled or summer soups are fun, refreshing and fantastic! Two of the most popular hail from Europe: French-style vichyssoise consisting of potatoes, leeks and rich cream, and a well-made gazpacho that everyone loves-the Spanish-style pur�e of tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, celery, garlic, citrus, and olive oil. Both countries celebrate their regional vegetables during the warm-weather months.

avocado3I created a tasty, refreshing summertime soup recipe, Chilled Avocado Soup with Crabmeat Relish, to celebrate a more localized harvest of ingredients. The ingredients for the soup were selected with a specific idea in mind--to enjoy our abundance of blue crab, Florida avocado and bell peppers using fresh herbs and bold-flavor spices of the Southwest. My recipe for crab relish can be made hours in advance and kept chilled in the refrigerator. The avocado soup should be made just before serving to preserve the brilliant green color and velvety texture of the avocado, finishing the soup with the crab relish. I always recommend serving a summertime soup in an ice bowl or well-chilled soup bowl.

At Your Service with Steve Ooms, General Manager
Service and Hospitality

Steve OomsWhile a close relationship exists between service and hospitality, there is a distinct difference between the two.  Service is what servers provide to meet the expectations of our guests when they come to dine.  Hospitality goes beyond the expectations; it means creating a pleasant dining experience with small gestures such as a kind greeting, welcoming old and new friends, remembering a returning guest's favorite drink, knowing exactly what was ordered, and anticipating what you, as the guest, needs next. It is paying close attention to detail, reading the guests and always making them feel comfortable, welcome, and important.  This is our number-one goal here at Jackson's-to provide each and every guest great service along with a generous dose of hospitality.  If there is anything we can do here at Jackson's to add to your dining experience, please, don't hesitate to give me a call at (850) 469-9898.
