A taste of New Orleans

Muffa-what-a?!
Muffaletta.
Yep. The name is quite the mouthful, and, well, the sandwich is too!

The Muffaletta sandwich was concocted back in 1906 by an Italian immigrant living in New Orleans, and let me tell you... it's a towering feast of a sandwich! 
It starts with a fresh, baked-in-house muffaletta (which is also the name of this particular kind of bread,) and only gets better from there. The best meats and cheeses, and an incredibly exquisite olive salad come next, and the resulting combination of flavors is truly sublime.
Treat yourself to a taste of New Orleans. Have a Muffaletta. It's what's for lunch!

We've been making our own smoked ricotta. Right here, in our own kitchen.
How cool is that?

Simple, yet bursting with a flavor that is delicately complex, our smoked ricotta makes our Mushroom Smoked Ricotta Toast a most delightfully light, satisfying lunch.
You just have to stop in for lunch this week and try it!

But, right now, watch this week's video and see just how we do it!

What's delicious, nutritious, priced right, and, no matter how much you eat it, you'll never get sick of it?
Our Local Chicken Flatbread, that's what!
With local goat cheese, crispy prosciutto, and fresh made dough (that gets grilled instead of baked), it's perfect when you're hungry and want something tasty, but don't want a fancy meal. 
You'll find it listed with the appetizers, but, in all seriousness, if you pair it with one of our awesome beers and a lovely fresh salad, you'll be good to go!


Just a heads up to those with nut allergies, though: 
our Romesco sauce, used on this flabread, contains almonds.
