Herb-crusted rotisserie chicken paired with the Dolores Dulces cocktail, a soon-to-be menu feature
Founding Farmers is one of just five restaurants to be showcased at the inaugural prelude event to the International Wine & Food Festival in February. On November 30, Chief Mixologist Jon Arroyo and Executive Chef Al Nappo will team up at Spirit of the Festival and use Patron XO Café to create a unique cocktail and food pairing. This week, the duo gave DC food journalists and bloggers a first taste of the pairing.
The Dolores Dulces cocktail features Patron XO Café, cognac, cherry brandy, egg white and a garnish of fresh grated nutmeg. The rich and delicious concoction pairs nicely with Chef’s herb-crusted rotisserie chicken with Maryland kale, cabbage and pears sautéed in Patron XO Café. Founding Farmers will feature the Dolores Dulces for a limited time after the competition.
Founding Farmers will offer a farmhouse-inspired three-course meal on Thursday, November 25 from 12:00 to 8:00 pm. The menu is $35 per adult, and $20 per child 12 and under, exclusive of beverages, tax and gratuity. Family-style farm tables seat up to 12 guests. Reservations can be made online or by calling 202.822.TRUE (8783).
The Thanksgiving menu will showcase several new items to be added to the Winter menu, including Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Bourbon-Caramel Butter, Green Bean Casserole with Roasted Garlic-Mushroom Crust, Broccoli-Rice-Cheddar Casserole, Sautéed Maryland Kale with Green Cabbage and Rosemary and Sautéed Green Beans with Lemon Zest.
At Founding Farmers, we are always looking for new ingredients to enhance our menu and support American family farmers.
This week, we proudly introduce Coombs Organic 100% Pure Maple Syrup. Coombs Family Farm in Vermont purchases maple from hundreds of small family farmers dedicated to sustainable organic agriculture. Farmers harvest and process the maple from pesticide-free forests in ways that both protect the trees and reduce energy consumption. Coombs Syrup also carries the USDA organic seal, but most importantly it tastes smooth, rich and delicious.
Our dedicated breakfast and brunch patrons expect to enjoy the highest quality products at Founding Farmers, and we believe Coombs Maple Syrup meets taste and quality expectations. I look forward to your next visit and invite you to try the new maple syrup for yourself.
