Great Sage takes the Eat in Season Challenge
This week Great Sage in Clarksville is taking the Eat in Season Challenge. I don't see it as much of a challenge for the restaurant, though. I mean, don't they specialize in this stuff?
Now when Slow Food Baltimore challenged a hotel dining room, that was a challenge.
Anyway, here's the menu: ...
$27 for three courses (tax and tip not included)
Starter
Local Roasted Garlic and Potato "Cream" Soup with Fresh Basil
OR
Young Spinach- Arugula Salad with Crispy Onions and a Local Feta Vinaigrette
Main
Grilled Local Vegetable Terrine with Mushrooms, Spinach and Our House Pomodoro
OR
Shitake-Spring Garlic Pate with Truffled Micro Greens, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes, and Basil Peppercorn Oil
Dessert
Pear Tart with Ginger Caramel Sauce and Soy Whipped Cream
OR
Agave Pound Cake with Vegan Vanilla Cream and Preserved Strawberry Compote

I would argue that finding an entire menu of local food before May would be a challenge even for them. That looks delicious. How long are they running that menu?

Sounds Awesome, but do you know the dates? Just went to their site, no info.
It's on the site. The dinner runs through April 26. EL

Pears are in season? I also wonder this early in the season what local vegetables are they grilling?
What is Vegan Cream?
I decided I would try all the Eat in Season Challenges this year but I have decided to skip this one and wait for the next one with meat.

I would be willing to offer a guess as to what Vegan Cream is; however, I think it would violate rule 3

I ate here last night and the food was delicious, although my family and I had the same question as EEL about pears being in season . . . squash too.
It was also Animal Advocates Day there last night . . . was wondering if any of the foie gras accomplices were there.

I know many of the Animal Advocates people and believe me, that organization should not be confused with the PETA/foie-gras rock-throwers.
