THE HEAT IS ON
This weekend is going to be a scorcher and we’re as ready as we’ll ever be.
We’re expanding our patio seating and adding a limited menu of fresh from the farmer’s market dishes to enjoy al fresco.
This week the patio will be open from 12pm-7pm Saturday & Sunday, with regular hours Thursday-Sunday from 12pm-7pm going forward.
(note, we will be closed on Sunday, July 4th)
Katie will have some crisp and refreshing wines to quench your thirst, and the frozen custard is already churning.
While you’re cooling off, grab a few no-oven-required dishes like our perfectly poached and chilled shrimp cocktail, crudités with Hidden Willamette Valley Ranch, marinated bean salad, and more; or get a full ready-to-eat no-heat meal with our spring picnic box.
FARM SPOTLIGHT: GROUNDWORK ORGANICS
This week we picked up some gorgeous Persian cucumbers from one of our favorite local farms, Groundwork Organics. Naomi has been getting produce from them for decades, and they were a staple at BEAST.
This week’s haul is becoming a Chilled Cucumber and Creme Fraiche Soup with Hokkaido Scallop ceviche and smoked olive oil, garnished with flowers and herbs from Naomi’s home garden.
Cold, refreshing – perfect for the summer weather! Available on our patio menu only!
Summer produce is in full swing and we’re adding new dishes to the menu to celebrate. Have you tried this recent addition? Tomato and Saffron Cappelletti – our rich egg dough seasoned with tomato conserva and saffron, then stuffed with seasoned ricotta and parmesan. Toss it in a quick butter sauce, or use our vibrant Spring Greens, Nettle, and Pistachio Pistou.
