Slow Food: The 100 Mile Challenge

Nate Utsch and Matt Stabenow

The St. Croix Valley holds a wealth of locally-produced foods and wines, from organic produce, locally-raised meats, even garlic!  We challenged our neighbors from Revé 324 to create a fabulous menu utilizing only foods grown or produced within 100 miles of Stillwater.  Enjoy their talent as they take us on a local journey with a menu of Teriyaki Smoked Chicken with Raspberry Glaze, Spring Onions, Brie and Spinach; Grilled Zucchini with Sweet Roasted Squash Puree and Jalapeno Bacon, Chevre and Fire-grilled Peppers; Rare Charred Sirloin with Grilled Onion, Maytag Blue Cheese and Golden Shallot Merlot Glaze; Wild Grilled Mushroom with Roasted Garlic, Chardonnay Puree, Smoked Provolone and Fresh Marjoram; and for dessert, Grilled Hobo Sweet Pineapple with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and Raspberry Coulee.  Each course paired with locally-produced wine.  Nate and Matt will share with us their favorite local suppliers.
