We Cook by the Season.
When you eat at Auntie Em's Kitchen you don't need to step outside
to experience the weather or check the plants blooming in your
garden to tell you the season. Just glance at the menu, taste our
prepared dishes and you'll know and feel in sync with the time of
year, because Auntie Em's menus are comprised of seasonally
available fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, poultry and fish.
The bakery is constantly trying out new desserts to take full
advantage of and include the freshest and most seasonally
appropriate fruits. We use seasonal produce in our soups, salads
and daily specials so that in the winter you can expect to choose
from all different kinds of braised and stewed meats, hearty
wintery soups and chowders, savory pies and satisfying desserts.
In the summer we love creating meals that take advantage of the
vast array of heirloom tomatoes, sweet, juicy fruits, and the
freshest summer veggies. So if you love our bbq pork sandwich and
the air conditioning is full blast, don't fear, it will be back in
the winter. But in the meantime you can try our chilled heirloom
gazpacho with crusty bread for a light and refreshing summer
starter.
