The food and drink at Lemon Hill
Back on Nov. 28 we shared that Lemon Hill would be the name of the Fairmount restaurant spearheaded by Mitch Prensky of Supper and Mike Welsh of The Franklin. Today we've got a couple preliminary peeks at items off the opening cocktail list and menu.
The food and drink at Lemon Hill
Back on Nov. 28 we shared that Lemon Hill would be the name of the Fairmount restaurant spearheaded by Mitch Prensky of Supper and Mike Welsh of The Franklin. Today we've got a couple preliminary peeks at items off the opening cocktail list and menu. As we understand it, a good bit of Prensky's food (a little more neighborhoody/informal than the approach at Supper, but still creatively taut) will be designed around Lemon Hill's brick oven, a focal point of the kitchen. Food and cocktail details after the jump (Clover Clubs and patty melts!); we'll check back with more info soon.
UPDATE [12dec11]: Added Lemon Hill's logo courtesy of its Facebook page. Aside from snagging the opening date (Dec. 26), we chatted with Prensky for a sec to get some more info on the food approach. "I've been saying it's Supper's hipper little cousin," says the chef of the menu, a place for him to host ideas that wouldn't necessarily fit the aesthetic or price point of his South Street restaurant. The aforementioned brick oven will indeed play a big role — Prensky is exploring its application to dishes beyond pizzas and flatbreads, using it in preparing fish, meat and pasta, too.
Cocktails
Mark Twain: Famous Grouse blended Scotch, fresh lemon juice, Angostura bitters, served up
Clover Club: Plymouth Gin, Dolin dry vermouth, fresh lemon juice, house raspberry syrup, egg white, served up
The Fairmount Project: Bluecoat Gin, Bonal, luxardo maraschino, fresh lemon juice, house blackberry syrup, Bitter Truth Mole and Fee's aromatic bitters, served up
Food
California Roll Crab Dip with wasabi tobiko and nori-dusted rice crackers
Cathead biscuits, escargots, garlic cream, parsley salsa and fried egg
Classic Patty Melt: grilled onions, house pickles, yellow American and secret sauce, waffle fries
Stout-braised beef brisket: French soup onions, potatoes aligote and horseradish gremolata
Menu already sounds like an identity crisis— staphmeal- whoa, the biscuits and escargots dish sounds spectacular— MLF
