Not for faint hearts, only for the strong



Miscellaneous
Roasted cauliflower for vegan entree, we have love for you too

Poulet Rouge, seasoned and ready to be marinated in yogurt
What's Poulet Rouge? Old breed chicken, which has more "chickeny" taste, firm but moist meat, and parchment-like thin skin.  Awesome chicken.

Menu Item

In the kitchen

I work with badasses.  Who qualifies to be a badass? Someone that gets his/her ass kicked on a daily basis but still shows up to work the next day for some more pain.  There is no giving up.  Yeah, you can go close down 3 bars but still show up to work early the next day.  This is what I see on a day to day basis.  I am proud to be one of them.  My type of group.
