Cooked over open fire, changed every week.

One menu. Whatever the farms two concessions north pulled out of the ground this week, put over live coals and served at seven tables.

The kitchen

We don't own a freezer, and it shows on the plate.

Everything comes off a single hearth — no gas line, no induction, one fire that gets lit at two in the afternoon and burns down through service. It makes the kitchen hot and the timing unforgiving, and it is the entire reason the food tastes the way it does.

The menu is written on Monday after the farm call and printed Tuesday. If the parsnips are better than the squash, the squash doesn't run. We'd rather change the menu than serve the second-best version of it.

This week

The menu, week of March 4

Five courses, $95 per person. Wine pairing $55. We cook one menu a night — tell us about allergies when you book and we'll build around them.

Bread & cultured butter

Sourdough baked in the dying heat of last night's fire. Butter churned Thursday, smoked salt.

Charred leeks, hazelnut, aged cheddar

Leeks buried in embers until the outsides give up. Two-year cheddar from Lanark, brown butter.

III

Lake trout, fermented parsnip, dill oil

Cooked skin-down over coals for four minutes. Parsnips we put down in October.

Hearth-roasted lamb shoulder

Six hours beside the fire, not over it. Turnip cooked in its own fat, preserved lemon.

Burnt honey custard

Honey from the hives behind the parking lot, taken just past dark. Cream, sea salt.
