Our Spring 2019 Menu

By Chef de Cuisine Mark Russell

it’s Springtime at gp!

We’re always pulling inspiration from local purveyors, global flavors and seasonal produce. This year, as we consulted with our famers, we were especially excited about the Spring 2019 Menu and the flavors and colors we could bring to the table.

Bar Bites

Before school lets out for the summer and the kids are home, it’s cocktail time for adults with our new bar bites. Crispy miso alphabet pasta pairs with spicy wasabi peas for an irresistible snack; and our guilt-free vegan chicharrón features crispy tofu skin dusted with a barbecue spice blend.

Hors D’Oeuvres

Travel the world with our seasonal hors d’oeuvres featuring locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. We pulled inspiration from the Southwestern United States, Southeast Asia, and Europe as we created flavor-packed bites perfect for weddings, receptions, and other social events.
