Labor Day weekend is here, and if you’re like us, you’re mostly thinking about what to eat. Burgers and hot dogs are awesome but we have some other ideas to take your holiday weekend up a notch. This is your chance to pull together a spread that feels like summer’s last hurrah.
Starters
Start simple. A few bites on the table, a drink in hand, and the party’s already rolling.
-
Pure Luck Plain Chèvre with Elephant's Green Chile Chutney – creamy goat cheese with just enough spice to keep everyone dipping.
-
CKC Farms Peach Chipotle Chèvre – sweet, smoky, spreadable, and the kind of thing you’ll wish you bought two tubs of.
-
Coppa Roll-Ups – slices of coppa wrapped around Tomme Saint George with a swipe of Pop Sauerkraut Mustard. Bite-sized, salty, and gone in seconds.
Sides
Summer veggies plus cheese equals magic.
-
Watermelon Feta Salad with Pure Luck Goat Feta – juicy, salty, bright, and refreshing.
-
Potato Salad with Pure Luck Goat Feta – creamy with just the right tang.
-
Zucchini Corn Fritters with Shredded Tomme Saint George – golden, crispy, and perfect with a squeeze of lemon.
Mains
The grill is hot, the cooler’s packed, and here’s where our sundries steal the show.
-
Grilled Chicken with Pretty Farmer’s Bourbon Honey Butter – a smoky-sweet glaze that makes chicken sing.
-
Seafood with Elephant’s Green Chile Chutney – shrimp, fish, scallops, all better with a little kick.
-
Smash Burgers with Bohemian Blue – blue cheese on a burger is nothing new, but Bohemian Blue turns it into something special.
-
Hot Dogs with Melted Raclette – if you know, you know. And if you don’t, trust us.
Desserts
End on a sweet note, of course!
-
Grilled Peaches with Tupelo Honey and Lioni Ricotta – smoky, juicy, and creamy with just a drizzle of honey.
-
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with Blue Heron Farm’s Goat Milk Cajeta – vanilla plus goat milk caramel is a match made in heaven.
All of these cheeses and pairings are ready for you in our case or on our shelves. Swing by before or during the long weekend and we’ll help you put it all together. And yes, the shop is open on Labor Day, so you can pick up last-minute cheese, wine, beer or accompaniments on your way to the party as well.
