Where's the chocolate bunnies?


Happy Easter!
We went to brunch at Muss & Turners today.
We were lured by their posted menu of meats, eats, and sweet treats.

Artisan Cheese & Charcuterie Display


Slow Roasted Berkshire Ham Brined with Coca Cola


Kippered Salmon with Traditional Garnish
Tilapia Ceviche with Lime, Cilantro, Red Onion and JalapeƱo
Riverview Farm Truffled Grits (Eric's favorite)
Applewood Smoked Bacon

Scrambled Eggs with Extra Virgin Olive Oil
& Fresh Italian Herbs & Parmigiano
(this was ultimately my favorite offering of the day. I'm such an egg girl and you set out these perfectly scrambled buttery rich eggs, its heavenly. Ryan Turner is there to grate a fresh layer of Parmigiano)



White Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits with Berkshire Sausage Gravy
Sweet Polenta Cakes with Balaton Cherries & Maple Syrup
Chilaquiles (‘Traditional Mexican Lasagna’)

Chicken Pozole Verde with Traditional Garnish
Organic Mixed Field Greens with Balsamic & Champagne Vinaigrette

Seasonal Fruit Salad

Vegetable Antipasto Platter

Really Serious…Like We’re Not Kidding Mac n Cheese

Buttermilk Fried Chicken

Melted Chocolate Bunny Tarts with Bacon Garnish

Pine Nut Tarts with Rosemary Whipped Cream

Assorted Cookies & Brownies



Sadly, no melted bunny tarts. No pine nut tarts. No rosemary whipped cream. The kitchen seemed hectic, so this could be the reason for the substitute of flour less ganache cake (which was whoa-so-rich) and a creamy key lime pie, whose acid cut right through whatever leftover bits you had on your tongue.

There was so much to choose from, and we were thankful the buffet style allowed us a smidge of just about everything. You had to feel bad for the folks who showed up dressed in their Easter finery, who had no reservations, only to be turned away from the door. We were truly thankful we were there. And got to celebrate a quiet Easter together.
