Caesar Salad
We’ve tweaked and updated our presentation a bit and
I have to admit, it’s one of the best Caesar salads around. Romaine lettuce, Manchego cheese, homemade

traditional garlic and lemon dressing.

Thank the Goddess
Is it wrong to crave the summer in March? Is it wrong to want California when you live in Ohio? We try to get closer…crunchy romaine, dressed with green goddess dressing, avocado, roasted sweet grape tomatoes,
micro greens, and hard boiled egg. Be kind to
yourself. Winter in Ohio can last a long time.

Duck You Can Eat with a Spoon
A Paula Wolfert recipe, this dish is typical of the southern
French practice of cooking duck very slowly in wine and
aromatics until it is tender enough to eat with a spoon. This
is one of our all time favorite dishes. One duck leg is served
with a delicious sauce from the reduced braising
liquid and savory white beans.

Duroc Long Bone Pork Chop
A single cut brined pork chop is grilled and served with
Peifer Orchards apple ginger chutney and a vegetable and fingerling potato melange with a vinaigrette made from
verjus, an unfermented grape juice. Verjus offers a great alternative to citrus juice or vinegar in vinaigrette.

Henry is a Teenager Burger*
This is a very special burger for a very special someone.
My youngest son, Henry, is turning thirteen.
(Middle School, Yikes!) He loves the Winds’ burgers,
so in honor of this amazing, not so little, boy, here’s a
custom burger for his birthday. Locally raised ground beef
from Orion Organics, is cooked on a hot griddle placed
on a brioche bun and topped with bacon marmalade,
cheddar spread and cucumbers. Served with
extra fries showered with grated
Parmesan… absolutely Henry style!
