The May menu

The may menu is on facebook and June is there too, ready to publish on the first day of June. here si a little insight on how the menu comes to be. Zach and I sit down with the previous menu and cross out anything we can not look at again, or are unhappy with. The next to go is seasonal items. Then we start to dream about what makes us feel good...what do we want to eat and serve. We try to balance the categories but sometimes there's too much chicken like this month. But they are all good.
