September Changes

September is the month the test kitchen really ramps up for Fall menu items. It may still feel like Summer but we have actually been researching and discussing everything Fall flavor related since the end of July. Nobody said the restaurant business was easy!

You can expect to see our full menu change over around the last week of September, but every moment leading up to that switch will be used for research and taste testing (the best part of the job if you ask me).

Pie is the Ultimate Summer Dessert

Pie doesn’t really get the attention it deserves. Sure, everybody goes bananas for pie over the holiday season – apple, pumpkin, pecan, you get it – but SUMMER pies are truly where you find the magic. That’s my opinion anyway.
I mentioned last month that you can always shop our deli case for salads, entrees, and sides for your next summer party. But don’t forget the cake case! In these super hot weeks, a cake might feel a bit too heavy (unless of course you go with our incredibly light strawberry shortcake). Pie is the perfect summer dessert! You can enjoy it cold or warm, with or without ice cream, sliced up or straight from the box with a fork. We don’t judge.
My personal favorite summer pie is a peach pie – have you noticed how incredible peaches are this season?! But we’ve also got all your tastes covered with cherry pie, blueberry pie, and strawberry rhubarb pie!
Not into pie? How about a tart? We’ve got plum, peach, and pear tarts ready for your enjoyment as well.

Next time you’re heading to a backyard BBQ, grab a pie or two at M&D and be the most popular guest there. You’re welcome.

New Summer Cocktails

New season, new cocktails! That’s the saying, right? It’s my saying anyway. And it’s a good one because Andrew has done it yet again. The new summer cocktails have hit the list and you don’t want to miss out. Check out some of the new additions!

Restaurant:

Starting THIS month, we are adding an Oyster Bar to our dining offerings!

For years, we’ve had many of you ask us to add fresh oysters to the menu. But it was (and always is) important for us to find the best possible ingredients – in this case, the best possible oysters. Well … we found them! We are now sourcing the best, higher end east coast oysters. We will be offering 2-3 different types weekly based on the freshest, just picked from the ocean.

We are so excited about this addition and we hope you are too!
