I'm dreaming about the day I get to go back here. Serious visions of those beets and mushrooms dancing in my head. And the good news is I don't have to save for months to do so, because forequarter.. my friend... is affordable. (And I'm beyond grateful for that.)
We began with the cheese plate served with house made peach, raspberry & almond jam that tasted like pure fall. (Move over psl chicas in your uggs.)
I put my foot down with the beets cooked with coffee & rye. Served warm over cocoa & hibiscus, micro greens & buttermilk ice cream. The mixture was simply devine.
The mushrooms... the lightly fried oyster & shiitake mushrooms with pickled Serrano peppers, sprouted lentils, salted lime curd & balsamic reduction. Had that miraculous concoction not been served on a wooden board, I surely would have licked the serving platter clean.
And then they had croissant cake for dessert! CROISSANT CAKE!!!
It was a happy birthday indeed. Thank you forequarter. Thank you.
If you are even considering going here, put down your computer, ipad or mobile device & head towards 708 E Johnson. Now. You won't be sorry.
