What's on our "Development" board...

Okay, day two of blogging from the test kitchen...in my world, development happens for a number of different reasons. Here's what's on our plate right now: Banh Mi and Smoked Pollock Chowder with cream biscuits for a charity event this weekend. Nothing like Banh Mi for breakfast...ours has duck pate, braised pork, pickled veggies and that killer mayo on a Vietnamese Baguette...YUM. I'll post some photos on Sunday after the event. As for other projects...our current development is driven by the desire to deliver a value to our guests - We're certainly not alone in that respect. Check out my friend Evan Mallet's restaurant in Portsmouth, New Hampshire...he's bending over backwards to deliver what our economic times require - comfort food at a great price.
