My husband and I love eating at farm to table restaurants. After finding this place online, we…read moredecided to try it for lunch. The restaurant is very cozy and rustic. The employees were friendly. We both ordered the lamb burger, which consists of two smashed lamb patties, homemade pickles, American cheese, caramelized onions, and mayo on a buttery potato bun. For our sides, we ordered the macaroni and cheese. One downside is there aren't very many drink options to choose from. I'll start with the burger. My burger was greasy. The smashed patties tasted burnt and, on the patty's edges, were crispy, black...I don't know what to call them, but they tasted like the leftover bits from the grill. When I tried my husband's burger, his tasted better and, for the first time in our married life, I asked if we could trade. The macaroni and cheese is spiral pasta with white cheddar sauce and sprinkled with shredded Parmesan. It was okay, but definitely needed seasoning. When we got home, we both had upset stomachs, which were enough to say we won't be returning.

Oof. Big changes at GDFC in the last few months. Came in for my normal start of spring trip after…read morejust being here in late fall, and the whole inside is different (less retail, more space) and several new kitchen remodel upgrades. It looks clean but isn't the same home-y spot we all loved. The kicker, though, is they changed the menu boards which now don't tell you what things are and they've like everyone else increased prices of normal items, including items that used to be included. Sandwiches used to come with chips, and now sandwiches are more and the small single size of chips are $4! Apparently they didn't read PepsiCo just missed a billion dollars in sales because they keep raising prices on Doritos. I can see add-ons for high quality products like soup, specialty fries, etc. I also know GDFC has expanded into KC, and I've been and spent healthy money at that luxury spot several times. But c'mon, this is just ludicrous charges at this point. When I realized the chip change, I asked for a refund of those alone, and the new sales terminal system took forever for multiple people to figure out. The manager on duty had to ultimately refund the whole thing, and reorder my entire order, meaning it's now cost all of us money in time. The staff is completely different - there's a chef in the back wearing a white coat like it's fine dining... the rest of the staff is friendly enough, but also not the same level of home we all got used to for many years. My sandwich finally came out, and it looks nothing like what we used to get - the Cuban is on a hoagie style roll. Not even that good anymore. No more winery inside, and limited drink options overall. And no more fresh ice cream, just overpriced "soft serve." I know we're in times that are a'changin... but some of it has gone too far. Hopefully they keep the same level of loyal business I imagine they had before. My loyalty has definitely shifted instantly to once in a while, if that.

I've had bloody Mary's for a reception upstairs and it was strong and fabulous. But just walking in and getting a Bloody Mary at the counter... not as great. I was kind of embarrassed that I could see the bartender was short on vodka for the second jigger. She had a new bottle right there. She poured the short amount in the glass, then opened the new bottle but didn't fix the short pour. I was very disappointed.

I've purchased it in the past. The taste is great. I'm a fan of a lot of Breakstone's products. The issue is with the typical butter consistency. It's very hard after refrigeration. I find it difficult to spread. I have family members that leave their butter out on the counter. Not a good idea for me. I'm one person it's going to take me forever to finish the tub I bought. I'm just glad to have butter during Covid House Arrest! So it looks like I'm thankful on many levels to DFA! I'm a huge fan of farmers to begin with. This cooperative was formed in 1998. I think it's a great idea! Despite some controversy regarding contract pricing, I'll continue to support their efforts to feed us. Besides I have fond memories of Borden's Elsie the Cow!

Plugrá review…read more Remember that asparagus risotto that I recently made? Well, the big pat of butter on top of the cooking asparagus was Prugrá. To me it does taste better than any other grocery store brand that I purchase. While there are criticisms that it is not likely to be GMO free, it is billed as European style. This means a higher percentage of butterfat at 82-83%. I find the flavor quite distinctive, delicious on bread. Troubling extra calories? Not if one moderates usage, which makes it all the more a treat. Faddish media chefs dictate using only unsalted butter. However, some of them are now admitting that salted butter can be mighty good. https://plugra.com/recipes/ https://plugra.com/recipe/pistachio-cake/ https://plugra.com/recipe/coconut-layer-cake/

However, while in the area I decided to stop by since I am in the midst of a kitchen remodel, and I did not like the vibe I received from the woman in the store. I do not believe that she was the proprietor but someone who seemed to have hawkish eyes and a bit of cynical skepticism about her. I do not present myself like the regular provincial type of women from these parts. I am cool and confident and humble (but not in that Mary Kay way, if you know what I mean). It seems that I didn't fit her particular vision of who she wanted in there. B.T.W, I was the only there and am not surprised if this is because others have felt the same. I almost was about to purchase something that I liked but decided that I could definitely find it elsewhere.

Usually add a cheddar or smoked cheddar, and our only pimento for our Masters Party is, of course, Hautly! But this week the smoked cheddar is terribly soft, squishy and not close to what we are used to in quality from Hautly. Have twice carved off a serving amount and it is not a cheese that begs a return taste, except from maybe American and velveta consumers! ( An we don't serve those items to our family, nor guests.) Hopefully others have noticed and more importantly the manufacturer is aware, correcting to a return of the fine product to which we have become accustomed. Please, correct back to a 'fine' dense smoked cheddar.

In addition to food, they also have a few drink options like bottles of wine and beer. They even have dog food and dog treats. The store itself is decent sized. There's plenty of space for a few people to move around. They do have a large deli counter and a few coolers full of goodness. Service is always excellent. They are always helpful and can even offer suggestions if you don't know what to make with what. One of my go-tos are any one of their sausages. They have traditional ones plus a few fun ones. And if you watch their social media, they'll usually tell you when they have a limited addition one. The Rieger whiskey and apple sausage is one of my favorites. They also have a chicken curry sausage, which is excellent and has so much curry flavor. On my last visit I noticed that they have mac & cheese that you can take to go. They have a few different varieties, but I went with one with bacon because their bacon is always fantastic. It was a really good side. I slapped it on the grill to warm it up and it was delicious. Highly recommend. If you are in the city market area definitely stop in and check out what they have.
