Well it looks like we lucked out and dodged that Hurricane Earl; weather reports for the Northern Neck show nothing but sunny days all through the week-end. Which is great because we have a full line-up of food and wine to celebrate the end of summer. sigh.

Our soup this week is

Corn and Crab Chowder.

We continue in our tuna showcase with

Grilled Tuna with a Preserved Lemon Aioli

and will also feature

Soft Shell Crabs with Lime Butter Sauce

&

Linguine with Shrimp in Marinated Tomatoes.

We have four special wines available, the Broadbent Vinho Verde from Portugal, the Urban Sauvignon Blanc from Argentina’s Mendoza region, a delightful Verdejo from Spain,  Lasbrisas, as well as the Oxford Landing Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia. Mondo vino indeed.

And for dessert its first-come, first-served till the blueberry pie is gone.

As announced last week we now accept reservations for groups of 4 or larger every night. Call Good Eats at 804-472-4385 to make a reservation.

An important note: Good Eats Cafe will be closed Labor Day and all next week in our annual catch-up-from-summer recess. We will re-open on Thursday, Sept 16 with our regular Thursday – Sunday schedule.

Tonight is Prime Rib night, Friday features half-price bottles of wine and on Sunday we will have Henny Penny and sandwiches available in addition to our full menu.

Lest I forget again, like last week, lets make the first order of business here the blueberry pie. Yes we do still have blueberry pie available, and in fact, the quality of the fruit has improved and with that, so have the pies.

Our soup this week is

Leek and Potato with a Bacon and Rainbow Peppers Relish

Dana from Garner Produce (over on Rt 3 between Lyells and Montross) gave us a sampling of their sweet pepper varieties, 6 or 7 different colors actually, and the relish is beautiful.

We have made August tuna month at Good Eats, this will be the last week for the

Grilled Tuna with Lemon Vinaigrette and Mediterranean Tapenade

before we move on in our showcase. The other specials are

We have a new Sauvignon Blanc available this week, the Allen Scott from Marlborough in New Zealand. This wine used to be on our list, then last year the price went up substantially so we went with other Sauv Blancs. (its that trying to make a living thing) But that needs be balanced with the being really proud of what you serve thing, and for us, with all our Chesapeake seafood, that means the Allen Scott. Give it a try, let us know what you think.

Tonight is Prime Rib night, Friday has half-price bottles of wine, Saturday we will again take reservations for groups of 4 or more (note to self if you are going to either of the 2 Annie shows with the Westmoreland Players on Saturday) and Sunday and Monday we have sandwiches and other light fare available.
