Rainy Tuesday

It's a wet day out, folks.
At Hanks, we've got a dry chair and a hot bowl of soup...or stew...
with your name on it.

That's right, we have BOTH today!

It's your choice:
Mushroom and Barley Soup
(Veg-head Friendly...WITH Dairy)
OR
Pork and Veggie Stew
(NO Dairy)

Either one is sure to warm you up.

Sammy Special Today:

Cold Meatloaf Sammy with Chipotle Mayo
A new twist on an old CLASSIC!

Let's put it this way.
Our new House-made Home-style Meatloaf with
Chipotle Mayo (kickin' it old school, remember?),
Bistro Greens and Fred's Ancient Grain and Honey Wheat Bread.

Don't forget about our SALADS:

Fingerling Potato Salad with Creme Fraiche and Dill
(Seriously, Google image these guys...they look like elf fingers)
Pickled Watermelon Radish Salad with Miso Dressing
(Oh, Miso Dressing. Me love you long time)
Beet and Greens Salad with Goat Cheese and Basil Dijon Dressing
(Basil Dijon. Basil Dijon. BASIL DIJON!)

Just a couple more tips for lunch.

Pulled Pork. House-made Kaiser.
Nothing more need be said.
(Is my drama club background showing?)

We are out of Flank Steak today.
BUT we have Sirloin. You're welcome!

See ya at Hank's.

Blogs of Christmas Past

I think I've used that title before. I'm not sorry. I'm starting to feel myself not Christmas shopping because of the lack of snow... and because of family indecision about how we are exchanging presents this year.
I've already noticed the Winners at College Park more packed than normal when I went to buy socks last week (I couldn't find a pair without a hole).
I dread the crowds and I don't like malls anyway. It truly is hard to find a gift that means I thought about it because I can barely think when I am in a mall full of screaming kids, teenagers on cell phones and adults meandering like they don't know how to walk.
See what I mean? I don't belong in a mall. I can't be happy when I'm in one. ^_^

So, I find my refuge at Hank's. The people are always happy, the cappuccinos are always in plenty and there's always smiling people and nice music.

Soup! Curried Pear, Apple and Parsnip YUM

Open-Faced Meatloaf Sandwich with Homemade Pan Gravy

Lovely Out, Eh?

Good Morning all you little Hank-a-maniacs!

HEY! You in the mood for SOUP?

Then, you're in luck.
Today Paula has made us a b-e-a-utiful Romanesca Soup!
That comes garnished with Chorizo, Root Vegetables, and Cream.

(For all you Veggers out there, order it WITHOUT garnish and you're in the clear.)

We also have, for your dining pleasure, a variety of Salads.

A hearty Fingerling Potato Salad with Creme Fraiche and Dill
Pickled Watermelon Radish (Whaaa?) Salad with Miso Vinaigrette
The classic Beet and Goat Cheese on Mixed Greens (this time with Honey Mustard Dressing)

Did I hear something about a new SAMMY?

Why, yes. Yes, you did.
Debbie D's back from Paris, and she brought us back a recipe.

Have you tried the new Croque Monsieur yet?
(That's Crunchy Mister for all you non-Frenchies)

Cumbrae's Ham, 2 Year Aged Maple Dale Cheddar, and French style Dijon.

Vraiment Délicieux!!! *
(if you'll pardon my French...and even if you won't)

But wait...there's more!

An exciting new Breakfast option.
Cinnamon Toast!!!!!!!
Served with Sliced Apple.
And...If you'd like (and you'd like) you can add 2 Year PEI Cheddar for just 50cents.
That's a quarter per year aged.

I'm sure I mentioned the Pulled Pork has been REVAMPED.
I just have to say it one more time.
HOUSE-MADE KAISER BUN, PEOPLE!


*Yeah, I googled it. I'm not ashamed.
