So, we’ve been thinking, for a while now, that, well, we’re gonna ditch the lavender tarragon popcorn for the Spring Menu.

For the fall/winter menu, we wanted to do so many things – so many sauces and different kinds of sandwiches – so little chalkboard space. We shot for a diverse menu and ended up with an exhaustive one. Sometimes it feels like we’re an Asian Fusion restaurant still throwing out great ideas for the twenty-seventh integration of kimchi on page 11 of the menu.

For Spring 2010, we are getting back to basics. Cutting the menu nearly in half. Focusing on we’re good at. Taking a page out of many small restaurants’ playbooks? Definitely. And with these changes, we’re going to go back to simplicity, to the days when sandwiches were a man’s best friend and dogs were just dogs.

Don’t fret, there will be an amazing new Seasonal section of the menu that will feature exclusively Pacific Northwest ingredients that will make your taste buds start dancing and hooking up in the back room (yeah, in your stomach).

For sides, we’ll still have our South Carolina Slaw and Homemade Potato Chips. But, if you love the lavender tarragon popcorn and are struggling to imagine your life without it, check out our Lavender Tarragon Blend, one of our four gourmet seasonings sold at the front counter. Shake some over homemade popcorn at home for a delightfully herbaceous “I’m-just-gonna-stay-in-and-watch-a-movie” type of experience. Sweat pants not included, though we are trying to get into some more merchandising.

They’re $3.99 or you can pick up all four for $15.
