Childhood junk foods inspire un-junky dishes
It's still my favorite. French Fries : ) I just make them here and serve them with house made, zingy spicy ketchup. They don't need to be reinterpreted : )
I'm sure if Josh could find a way to replicate double-stuffed oreos, he would. Also-I would fully support this.
The summer menu starts tonight at HEARTY with a Red Velvet 'Twinkie' with Bourbon Cream Filling. Also, our Moxie Glazed Chicken is served over savory Funnel Cake.
We have cheese fries on our menu at Rockit; thick cut fries with melted brie and shitake mushrooms.
Yes. I love Ho-Hos and Oreo cookies. We have come up with our own version of each. We have a couple of different flavors of Buche de Noels at Christmas. One of them is a giant Ho-ho inspired chocolate roulade with marshmallow fluff filling.
As a kid I loved Coco Puffs, my favorite thing would be the bowl of
chocolate milk it left behind when the cereal was all gone. I would love to
see a dessert of warm frothed coco puff milk infused with cinnamon
surrounding a frozen creme friache- raspberry parfait crusted in shards of
crunchy coco puffs!
We serve potato chips and flavor them differently everyday. Some days it is smoked salt and ras el hanout and others it can be sumac and alleppo or sour cream and chive. We also serve spice popcorn like duckfat and parm, or brown butter and espelette.
These days we are serving our popular wood grilled burger with potato chips fried in beef tallow. Mmmmmmm. Of course our beignets on weekend brunch are the ultimate junk food - a pile of powdered sugar accompanied by nuggets of fried dough!
At the Tavern our current pot du creme is buttered popcorn with salted caramel.

"Right now we are perfecting Bunuelos for our dessert menu! These are somewhere between beignets and doughnuts, and are very Spanish. I always loved little fried bits of dough, as long as they were crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. These bunuelos deliver both. We will be serving them with fresh grated nutmeg-Cardamom sugar and drizzled with honey." ~ Chef Dan Pancake, Autre Monde Cafe & Spirits
