TASTE OF THE TREASURE COAST
36
Serving an eclectic blend of classic and homespun dishes, some of the
offerings include aged cheddar pimento cheese served with pickles and
country bread, homemade hummus, Wellfleet oysters on the half shell,
peach galette, jumbo lump crab cake, and local sheepshead Francaise with
house-made pasta and roasted heirloom tomatoes.
SLOW COOKED
Several standout entrees serve as springboards for Lander’s
talent as a chef. Meatloaf, a combination of beef, pork
and veal, is wrapped in smoked bacon and presented to look
like filet mignon. Chorizo and roasted broccoli shrimp étouffée,
a dish redolent with the flavors of Louisiana, relies on the
traditional, slow-cooked dark roux and trio of Cajun spices to
render the rich flavors of the Deep South.
A dish of plump, pan-seared sea scallops on a bed of
creamed corn spiked with smoky bacon showcases a blending
of flavors and textures that work together beautifully.
And prime beef short ribs — first seared with a vegetable
mirepoix then finished with balsamic vinegar, port wine,
and beef stock — are braised for five hours before finding
a perfect accompaniment in a three-aged-cheddar mac and
cheese gratin. It’s nuanced comfort food at its best, an eclectic
mix of classic and homespun dishes that offers something for
everyone. >>
