The Eat in Season Challenge: Donna's
Donna's in Charles Village is the fourth of eight restaurants to take the Eat in Season Challenge. Once a month one of them offers an all-local menu (some prix fixe, some not) for a week. So far, Watertable in the Inner Harbor, Brass Elephant and Joe Squared Pizza have participated. I don't have much sense of how successful they were; anybody know?
Anyway, this month's restaurant is Donna's in Charles Village. The Eat in Season menu will be offered tomorrow through Aug. 16. Here it is: ...
tomato consommé with local goat cheese 8.50
homemade fresh mozzarella and tomatoes with basil and olive oil 8.50
white corn flan 9.00
Maryland crab salad with cantaloupe and fresh mint 13.00
soft-shell crabs with farmers market succotash 22.00
sweet and sour Fairy Tale eggplants 6.00
Springfield Farms pork tenderloin with peach chutney 24.00
roasted capon with lemon verbena and fingerling potatoes 22.00

What makes an eggplant "fairy tale"? Not sure I wanna know.
It's a hybrid name; I guess I should capitalize it. EL

Dahlink - if you eat it, you grow larger, and have some trippy adventures.
