We have so much to talk about so let's just get into it😉
This week, I am delighted to announce that our Chicken Pot Pies are back on the menu and for the first time ever we have decided to expand our pot pie line to include a small quantity of Beef Steak Pot Pies as well.
Our Chicken Pot Pies are loaded with celery, peas, carrots, onions, tender chicken breast, and a classic (1950's style) creamy gravy. Our gravy is expertly made with a delicious chicken stock and vegetable base. Thickened cream and milk are then added for body and to finish it off we bring in pure 100% grass fed butter for richness and that classic silky texture. Just like grandma used to do. We take all of those ingredients and place them in a flaky crust to seal the deal.
Our new Beef Steak Pot Pies have carrots, celery, onions, peas, an umami rich velvety gravy, and ultra tender beef steak all in a flaky crust. The beef that we use is cubed steak that's dry brined for 24 hours. Our brine spice mix is simple salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and our very own spice called SavorYe. The flavor that it imparts of off the charts and the tenderness that comes from doing a dry brine is ridiculous!! The following day we sear then braise the beef and vegetables in a very flavorful beef stock till everything is perfectly tender. We then take that same stock and turn it into an umami rich fortified gravy. All of this is then added to a beautiful flaky crust and frozen.
Our Pot Pies are the perfect portion for 2 adults (or 1 really hungry teenager). Visit our website to order your Pot Pie today.
Let's talk breakfast. Many of you know us for our authentic Southern Creamy Butter and Cheddar Grits made with 100% White Hominy Corn or even our flaky Buttermilk Biscuits made with 100% grass fed butter and freshly baked in the comfort of your home. Some of you even know us for our Tex-Mex Breakfast Burritos. The largest breakfast burrito in town that is exploding with ingredients and flavor. Well, this week we are very proud to add to our breakfast line up with a delightful Mixed Berry Breakfast Pud.
Our Mixed Berry Breakfast Pud is a nice change of pace from your ordinary breakfast as we play on the classic French Toast and Crème Brulée flavors with a bit of a Bread Pudding Twist. French bread and a thickened custard sauce (with eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, star anise, clove, and a touch of light brown sugar) serve as the base for this dish but we don't stop there. We add dollops of cream cheese and mixed berries through the center for a wonderful combination of fruity sweetness, acidity, and richness with a creamy finish. To seal the deal, we then add a cinnamon brown sugar streusel and a mixed berry puree over the top. This dish is cooked for the first time by you and the end result is a "blooming" breakfast that's fresh and scrumptious. Here is an actual picture of this dish after it has come out of our freezer and baked according to the package instructions. From the photo it's hard to tell but it's a fairly large portion size and is perfect for 1 or 2 hungry adults.
Did you know that we offer the cleanest pork in all of Panama? Pork so clean that you can actually wash your hands with it 🤣🤣🤣. We operate a no waste kitchen and in doing so we have a blast creating new and sometimes bizarre things. Many of those things never make it on our menu but every once in a while, they do like our whipped tallow and essential oil hand cream. Well, today you get to see for the first time ever a Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork Soap. This soap was created from the rendered pork fat I collected while slow cooking and smoking 150 pounds of pork shoulder. The idea was to create "The Manliest Soap in the World" by having a bar of soap that was reminiscent of cooking outdoors over an open fire. I wanted to incorporate charcoal and earth with smoky aromas. I also wanted the bar to not only clean extremely well but also detoxify and leave the skin feeling soft and rejuvenated. I think we nailed it and the image below is the end result. Our one-of-a-kind soap bar has smoked rendered pork fat, coconut oil, activated charcoal, and bentonite clay. This soap produces a creamy lather with great cleaning and moisturizing properties. As you can see from the image below the quantities are limited. You can find this soap along with other body care items in the "BODY CARE" category of our menu.
I love creating food especially sausage. Some of you have stumbled across my You Tube Channel where I share my expertise with a global community regarding sausage making. Each year I produce a series on my channel called Celebrate Sausage where I feature 31 unique sausage making tutorials showcasing recipes from all over the world. We are currently on Season 6 and have featured over 180 sausage recipes on my channel. We have been teasing the show by adding some of the sausage creations on our menu. Sausage like the Gyro Sausage with freshly made pita bread and tzatziki sauce, the smoked salt and vinegar cheese Kransky (from Australia), the wildly unique Mexican Tamale Sausage, or even the famous gummy bear bratwurst sausage from Minnesota have been showing up in the sausage section of our menu. The only problem is that I never seem to make enough as they sell out as fast as I make them available. We have a few sausages left from our series that we will be releasing in the next week like our Mexican Longaniza, the German Erbswurst, the Italian Moderna Zampone, Lincolnshire Sausage, Thuringer Bratwurst, the Colombian Genova Sausage, Spriciolona Salami, the Spanish Sobrassada, and a few others. If you missed out on getting your hands on some of these sausages don't worry, I'll be sure to make more. The Gyro sausage btw was out of this world!! A sausage made with beef, pork, and lamb. Mixed with salt, pepper, garlic, sumac, Allepo peppers, fresh herbs, and red onion. Grilled for that extra kiss of flavor!! WOW! That's all I can say about that sausage, WOW!!
One particular piece of Charcuterie that is currently on our menu is a delightful and historic dry cured piece of meat that was almost lost to time. Pitina. The Northern Italian Pitina has been around since the 19th century and very little was known about it outside of the Dolomite valleys of Tramonti di Sopra and Tramonti di Sotto. This caseless meatball style salami is made with ground meat, seasoned, dipped in wine, and coated in polenta. It's then fermented for 24 hours and smoked. Finally, it dries for 25 to 30 days. This type of salami was generally only made in the winter months to preserve meat for the warmer months but, thanks to the incredible minds and technology over at Stagionello I am able to perfectly replicate the micro climate of the specific region where this was originally produced over 150 years ago. In a collaboration between 2 Guys & A Cooler and the Southern Italian company, Stagionello my first project in their Dry Curing Device was to pay homage to this beautiful piece of charcuterie. What you see in the image below is Pitina 3 ways. We have made the Classic Northen Italian Pitina, a spicy Southern Italian Calabrian Pitina, and for all my South African friends out there we even made a South African Biltong Pitina. You can find this delicious treat in the "Sausage and Cured Meats" category of our menu. Stay tuned to see what comes next.
