Beginning my menu for future restaurant: Sides
Good ole' Sides restaurant. You're patient. You're ready to be born but I keep putting you off. Mainly because I don't have a dream city picked out or $100,000 lying around. But I will. I WILL, NAYSAYERS!
So once Sides is all decorated with his Georgia pine wood floors, crispy linen curtains, sweet tea in Mason jars, Wednesday turkey meatloaf day, herb garden out back, farm eggs, George Jones playin' in the background...what else ya gonna eat?
How about...

Baked brie with pistachios and cranberry, served with Melba toast
Just Beet it
Roasted beets with goat cheese and sugared walnuts with baby spinach and Raspberry-Thyme Vinaigrette
Tybee Island's soup
Creamed corn and King Crab chowder served with cheddar biscuits (yes, that kind)

"Shrimp on a Stick"

Dessert:

That roasted beet recipe sounds like something I'd sell my dog for. Do you really have one?
I kind of made it up...it's pretty easy though. Just rub your beets with some herbs and olive oil, cover them in foil, and bake them the oven for 1.5 hours at 350 degrees.
Take 'em out, peel them when they've cooled off, chop 'em up and throw in some pungent cheese. Sugared walnuts are just buttered, sprinkled with sugar, and broiled very quickly.
Thanks for liking my made-up recipe!
