If you're a native here to the Quad Cities, then chances are you've come across a Garlic Salad once or twice. Probably not like this one though... 🧐

First introduced by The Plantation in Moline, this salad has been popping up on menus throughout the Quad Cities are over the last few decades. Traditionally, it consists of iceberg lettuce, parmesan, a little red onion, croutons, and a garlic dressing. Rather than doing an exact copy/paste of this salad, we wanted to tip our cap in our own way. Since garlic is the feature ingredient, we display it in three ways in the dressing: roasted, raw, and black. We added the kale as a strong green that could stand up to the think dressing, which truly makes the two work well together. The kale allows for the cheese and crispy bits to get caught up in all of its folds, offering some really great bites. This is a different kind of salad, but it is one that we love and are proud to share with you!

Lamb Meatballs! A slightly newer addition to the menu here and it sure is fantastic.

--
These are no ordinary meatballs. These Lamb Meatballs are cured in juniper and vary from the traditional means of bounding them with bread or bread crumbs. Here, we use pureed rice. The rice keeps it gluten free and give the meatball an overall better crust. Paired with farro, roasted button mushrooms, and grilled pickled peal onions, these components play an important supporting role in this dishes overall profile. To finish things off, we have a reduction sauce that is seasoned with Vadouvan (a French curry) and manipulated with mustard and our vinegar to taste reminiscent of a South Carolina style BBQ sauce.

Come on in and take this one for a ride 🤠
