We could not be more excited and the 'gathering' has already started.

Lamb, Rabbit, Smoked Ham, Pork Belly and Roasted Chicken

Beet Salad, fresh salsas, platters of tomatoes and cheese

Ratatouille and field peas, Honey Ice Cream with local peaches and berries and more!

AND of course we have a few surprises coming your way on the menu as well.

Brunch in the Fields

Join farmer's Amanda and Dan at their first annual Brunch in the fields at Cardo's Farm Project.

In the same spirit as our 100 mile dinners, I will be preparing Quiche, Chicken Soup, Garden Salad, Chocolate Beet Muffins, fresh Pork Belly, Smoked Ham and more from local ingredients.  Local milk and locally roasted coffee will also be provided.

Also, don't forget that space is limited so make your ticket purchase early!

See you there

Cardo's a Farm Tour

 A recent visit to Cardo's Farm Project gave us the opportunity to visit with Farmer Amanda and help us envision the April Brunch we are hosting right in the fields of the farm.

 Guinea chickens and Dan's dog "Tobay" kept us company on our tour with Amanda.

Squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and melons await the fields in one of the green houses.

 A diy biodome where Amanda assures us she lived for many months when she first moved to the farm.

All colors of pale pink, blue and cream eggs are gathered each day and sometimes traded to nearby farmers for milk and other dairy items.

 Fava beans in full bloom...can't wait for these!

Cardo's will be hosting a Brunch in the Fields on April 28th 2012. Hannah's will be providing a bounty of local foods such as House smoked pork belly, Chicken and Spring greens soup, Various Quiches, Chocolate Beet Muffins, Corned Beef Hash and more! All served on the farm with lots to see and do.

For more information and to purchase your tickets, please visit Cardo's Farm Project website and sign up for their newsletter or like them on Facebook!

Summer 2011

A few new additions to the Cheeseboards, Chocolate Sausage (with hazelnuts, cookie and dried fruits)

Balsamic Jelly and Hot Damn Pepper Jam- All house-made of course :)

Shishito peppers and pastrami Pork belly sliders, now on the bar menu. Come Join us tonight!

Hunting and Gathering

	Join me and Sommelier Jeff Solomon as we introduce you to the areas finest local food featured in our 100 mile dinner. All of the food and wine served will be from within 100 Miles of Hannah's Off the Square, even down to the table salt. Two dinners will be served, the first on Monday April 18th and then again on Thursday April 21st. $95 per person with guests arriving at 6:30 with Banquet Table Service that will be served Family Style. Reservations are strongly recommended as space is limited. Our regular dinner menu will be available for guests not participating in the 100 Mile Dinner. The hunting and gathering began this morning, with orders placed at Juha Ranch for leg of lamb, oxtails, ham shanks, ground lamb, ground beef, pork belly etc. Dallas Honey Guild is supplying us with lots of local honey and honey soaked pecans. The eggs, herbs and Spring greens have been coming in for weeks now. A crate of green Spring onions from Lemley of course and a variety of cheeses from Full Quiver Farms. It was a good first gathering of items, with more coming throughout the week.    Menu items are beginning to shape up! We are thinking about house-made lamb and feta sausage with sauteed local greens and garlic. Green onion, lemongrass and oxtail soup or maybe a Bollito Misto. Cardo's Spinach salad with bacon roasted onions, shiitake mushrooms and pecans with Sherry vinegar. Sounds good to me! See you in a couple of weeks!~ Chef

Outstanding in the field

I just came across this website via Design Sponge. Isn't it wonderful? Outstanding in the Field is a wonderful group that sets up local dinners all over the US. They bring the farmers, Chefs and guests together for a memorable meal in glorious farm settings!
I think Hannah's should do this move-able feast sometime in the summer, but when is a good time? The Texas weather is so fickle, really, because two days ago I was looking at snow and today will be 75! Any good suggestions for a time and place?
