Menu for May-June
Brunch
Moroccan Bread Crumbed Eggs
This dish is inspired by one of my culinary heroes, Gabrielle Hamilton. Everytime I’m in NYC I eat brunch at Prune and try to replicate this dish. Two eggs are fried in herb seasoned bread crumbs and served on a savory garbanzo bean stew. Traditional accompaniments of preserved lemon, olives, harissa + warm flatbread round out the plate. 12.
Shrimp and Cope’s Dried Corn Ragout
This is our Yankeefied version of shrimp and grits. Juicy, sweet domestic shrimp are sautéed in butter with mushrooms, green onion, a little garlic, a squirt of lemon and a pinch of dirty spice mix, poured over a bowl of creamy Cope’s corn ragout. Served with a side of fresh fruit. 14.
Papas Locas
A bed of homefries embellished Cal-Mex-style with layers of black beans, cheese, avocado and sour cream, then topped with grilled steak or scrambled eggs and char-grilled jalapeno slices. Streaked with Cholula sauce and served with a warm flour tortilla.

Croque Monsieur Sandwich
This famous open face sandwich is made with a thick slice of sour bread, béchamel, gruyère, thyme and black pepper. Topped with either Nueske’s smoked ham or asparagus and roasted tomato. A little bit of France right here in Ohio. Served with mixed green salad and herbed fries. 11.
Henry is 8 Burger*
This is a special burger for someone very special. As many of you know, my youngest son, Henry is turning eight. He loves the Winds’ burgers and often tailors them to his own tastes. So in honor of this amazing little boy, here’s a custom made burger for his birthday. LaFrieda ground beef is cooked on a hot griddle (not grilled) placed on a ciabatta bun and topped bacon marmalade, cheddar spread and Romaine lettuce. Served with Spanish fries. 12.
