Setting the Prairie Table at Endolyne Joe’s

Yesterday at Joe’s, our General Manager looked like she had tears in her eyes from the excitement of putting on the Prairie Table menu this fall. Raised by Oklahoma transplants, she told us her memories of tornados and one pot meals, bringing out the inner praire child from all the transplant staff (I’m from Minnesota! Wisconson here! Iowa! Me  too, no way!). Sure enough the foods we ate were the ones that any midwestern child will smile at the memories of and that Coast residents might scoof at, but only because they haven’t tried the Joe’s version.

We started with an appetizer of a pickle plate, because canning and pickling your own crops is a prairie tradition. Similarly, we pickled this all ourselves!

The entrees were equally reminiscent of dinner with the family, back in the day. A one-pot pot roast dinner was a big hit, as was the swedish buckwheat pancakes. My personal favorite (being as I am, a coast dweller) was the Duck on Wild Rice.

This menu will befin on September 12th, so get those taste buds ready!
