Holy Shiitakes!

This is where my shiitake mushrooms come from. They are fiercely protected by this beautiful guardian.  I love visiting my growers Alice and Rick Harty at Harty Farm in Red Hill, NC.

                 

So here are some brunch options.  On the left is our Fried chicken and waffle with and without peaches and cream.  And bringing up the rear is the fried chicken salad.  That's maple syrup and buttermilk celery dressing that accompanies the fried chicken.  On the right here is a sample of my home made bacon.  I thick-slice rashers from fresh, local pork belly and add salt, pepper, thyme, and maple syrup. Then I par bake to set the seasoning and finish them on the grill to order!

Here is the lovely Wendy tending to the dining room during brunch on the 2nd and we were almost full at this point.
