Our guacamole made to order on site has been a huge seller, followed closely by our market inspired quesadillas. We have went from spinach & asparagus to mixed squash, to two of my all time favorites, jersey tomato with bacon & esquites which is grilled sweet corn & cheese. We are also selling our house fried chips, salsa & black bean dip. Unfortunately, we had an accident with our juicer & had to suspend market juicing until the parts come in from overseas.
<br />
<br />But, this weekend, Lydia reminded me that it was time to put together our Farm Fresh Collingswood menu together & I thought, what the heck, since I have to write it & make it, we should run it for an extra week. So, starting Sunday July 18th, you'll be able to try our awesome local produce picked up from my farmer friends that you see every Saturday at the market. Below is the menu & of course it is subject to minor revisions based on product availability. We are taking all size reservations too.

From Monday March 22 thru Saturday March 27 (Tues 3/23 in Pennsauken since we are closed on Mondays) we will be offering a meatless menu to give our earth a break from our usual eating habits. It is a really special menu that features some nice alternative proteins including tempeh & quinoa along with lots of fresh vegetables, dried chiles & delicious sauces ... & no meat or seafood. As a chef, I feel responsible to educate our guests. It seems to me that too many of us have grown up feeling deprived if we don't have our "meat & potatoes." So I created a menu that I am confident will leave you satisfied & impressed with no meat or seafood. I have 9 special dishes & you may choose any 3 of your liking for just $25/ person. If you're still hungry, our dessert menu will be presented so you can top off your dinner with one of our delicious desserts & a cup of organic, fair trade dark roasted Mexican coffee. Working with the environment does not have to be painful or a sacrifice, but can be an enjoyable evening without stressing our resources.<br /><br />A couple of suggestions to make the evening a bit more environmentally friendly; in Collingswood, come in on Patco & walk to the restaurant. The trains are running anyway, so why not support them & save some gas. In Pennsauken, try one of our sustainably farmed or bio-dynamic wines with your dinner. Then, if you can't finish your dinner & want it packed up, make sure to take note of our green packaging. If we all do the little things, we can make a big difference for our environment<br /><br />Please call 856-869-3345 to reserve your table in <a href="http://thetortillapress.com/">Collingswood</a> (We are taking all size reservations for this event) Or 856-356-2050 for <a href="http://tortillapresscantina.com/">Pennsauken</a> (We <span style="font-weight: bold;">always</span> take all size reservations at <a href="http://tortillapresscantina.com/">The Cantina</a>!)<br /><br /><br />Choose any 3 plates $25/ person<br /><br /><br />Pineapple Guacamole Salad<br />Golden pineapple diced with avocado, lime, salt, fresh, chiles & cilantro served over spring mix with an mandarin orange vinaigrette<br /><br />Vegetable Tortilla Flatbread<br />Crispy double stacked flour tortilla with chihuahua cheese sauce, mushrooms, spinach, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers & olives served with pico, crème & guacamole<br /><br />Vegetarian Pozole<br />A rich tomato, vegetable & chile broth with hominy served with tostada, onions, cilantro, sliced radishes & lime wedges<br /><br />Pumpkin, Black Bean & Goat Cheese Quesadilla<br />Served with ancho chile crème<br /><br />Vegetarian Chile<br />Black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, red & green peppers, eggplant & dried chiles.

We chose our wines for a couple of factors. We looked at the dishes that we can pair each wine with, the ability to sell it to our guest at a reasonable price & then at a the growing & producing practices of the wineries. I'm proud to say that the wines that we have added to our list are all created using sustainable farming practices, are bio dynamic or our from a local winery. We also added a local beer to our draft beer selection this month....Flying Fish's Hopfish India Pale Ale. I love a hoppy beer & it pairs nicely with our award winning chipotle peanut bbq pork. We are also featuring a jersey cranberry sangria with cranberry wine from Bellview winery. It's still a bit chilly outside for sangria, but I see this refreshing a lot of palettes as the weather warms up. Anyway, here is a copy of the wine tasting menu, we are taking all reservations for the evening with the festivities starting at 6:45 & the formal tasting starting at 7.

I've just finished tweeking my recipe for the first annual (I hope) Mighty Mac Battle of the Chefs. I call it the "Mac Off" much to my wife's dismay. The event is to be held at Tortilla Press Cantina on Monday Jan 18th at 6:30, and will be featuring the mac & cheese of at least 10 of the areas chefs. Please make your reservations soon at 856-356-2050. The cost is $10 for adults & $4 for kids. Part of the proceeds will go to The South Jersey Food Bank. We will also have a cash bar available with great drink specials.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">My blog this year will be a place to check out upcoming events at The Tortilla Press, Tortilla Press Cantina, South Jersey Culinary Events & SJ Green Dining. But, mainly it will be the musings of an independent restaurateur/chef running two restaurants & the daily triumphs and challenges that arise. Of course, this will be the place to see all special event menus & changes to either restaurants' menu before the rest of the public, so check back often & feel free to comment anytime with suggestions, ideas or ways to improve The Tortilla Press or The Cantina.

<br />I don't know who is more creative these days, my wife or my staff. Between the two, we have two more great events starting in October. I'm sure that you all probably know about our Going South Promotion as part of the <a href="http://sjculinaryevents.com/">South Jersey Culinary Events</a> group that runs Sunday October 11 to Thursday October 15.<a href="http://thetortillapress.com/goin-south-menu.php"> See our </a><a href="http://thetortillapress.com/goin-south-menu.php">Menu Here</a> But how about our make your own burrito Mondays & Our Fall Harvest Celebration Monday Oct 18 to Thursday Oct 22.
<br />
<br />Our waiters were discussing ways to make Mondays a little busier & started kicking around ideas to make them more interesting to You, our guests. Well I came in & they presented me with a list of ingredients, salsas & fillings that they felt you would enjoy combining to create your own dinner burritos on Mondays. I thought it was a brilliant idea & went to work to make it happen & I was able to do it at a great price....$12.95 which includes your choice of a side (I recommend the corn pudding). To kick off the newest Tortilla Press weekly event we also created the $25 FAB Burrito, It's about 5 pounds of burrito heaven. Chicken, beef, pork & chorizo with cheese, rice beans, pico, pickled jalapenos & lettuce. We top it with salsa, more cheese, guacamole & sour cream. My guess is it will feed 5 no problem. Of course Monday the 12th we will have 5 guest trying to eat it by themselves. Those who complete it will get their picture on the Wall of Fame. After this Monday, anyone who completes it in 1 sitting, gets it for free & their picture on the Wall also.
<br />
<br />So then my wife said, what are we doing after Going South, I said taking a break, but she said we should celebrate Collingswood Farmer's Market winning America's Favorite Farm Market before the season runs out, hence...Fall Harvest Celebration Monday thru Thursday 10/19 to 10/23. Each night we will feature one of our favorite farmers who will be joining us at 7 pm to dine with the 1st 20 guest who reserve community style for our 4 course $30/ person menu. Monday will be John Hurff from Schober Orchard we've loved his peaches, apples & cider all year long. Tuesday will be Stephanie from Viereck Farms, we had her strawberries, asparagus, tomatoes, squash & corn. Weds will be John Ebert from Springdale Farms you all know his grilled corn, yellow zucchini & awesome tomatoes. Thursday will be Kevin & Sharon Flaim from Flaim Farms. They supply our poblanos, cilantro, spinach. leeks, jalapenos, tomatatillos & of course our squash blosssoms. So join us for a week of awesome dining with our favorite farmers from America's Favorite Farm Market. Not part of the first 20 guest please reserve anyway, I'll stop by to make sure that you are enjoying your meal.

It was the most educational & enlightening adventure that I have undertaken. A 7 night 8 day cooking class in Oaxaca Mexico. Talk about increasing my respect for the cuisine that I cook on a daily basis. Watching masters do what me & my staff humbly try to duplicate on a daily basis, was mind boggling. I said as I was flying back to the states, one day I'm going to take a group of friends from the restaurant to Mexico with me so that they may get a chance to experience Mexican culinary intensity at it's source.<br /><br />Well, the time has come. <a href="http://lavillabonita.com">La Villa Bonita</a> & Chef Ana Garcia have agreed to host & cook with me. We have put together a 8 day 7 night package from Nov 5 to Nov 13 at their specially designed hotel & cooking school in the beautiful mountain village of Tepoztlan, Morelos, Mexico. We will be working with masa, moles & local ingredients for an adventure unlike any that you will experience. The special price is $1450/ person for double occupancy & this includes breakfast & lunch daily with an option for dinner available if you're hungry after cooking all day. We can also decide on side trips & tours of the area as we get together the group.

John Ebert co-owner of Springdale Farm's in Cherry Hills will be our guest farmer for the evening. If you have not attended on of our previous Farm Fresh Events, do not miss this one. John will speak about the operations of the farm, what they currently are harvesting & will be through the summer and I will speak about how we are able to feature their products in our cuisine. here's a link to the menu.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thetortillapress.com/farm-fresh-dinner.php">http://www.thetortillapress.com/farm-fresh-dinner.php</a><br /><br />A little history about my relationship with Springdale Farms. In 1992 my wife Lydia & I purchased a small sandwich/catering shop in Westmont. Well business was really slow & after coming off a job of running a hotel kitchen doing about 2 million in sales annually, our $300 a day in sales was not very exciting (or profitable) We had a line of salads that we made for our parties & that we sold in our shop along with some quiches that & we started looking for another place to retail them. We sampled Springdale & began selling our salads & quiches at the market.<br /><br />After we left catering, we moved to Collingswood & opened our restaurant. And what do you know but Collingswood had a Saturday Farmers Market and one of the anchor farms was Springdale. Fortunately, I had an outlet with the restaurant for their corn, tomatoes, squash, peppers & the fleeting but oh so amazing strawberry season. I've been shopping the farmer's market ever since & stop by the farm on my way into Collingswood whenever I need mid week produce or even a coffee & apple cider doughnut.<br /><br />So, here is Thursday's Menu<br /><br />Kennent Square Exotic Mushroom Empanadas with epazote leaf & black bean chile puree. I bought the epazote from the farms awesome selection of herb plants & hot house Jersey tomatoes in the black bean chile puree.<br /><br />Boston Lettuce, goat cheese, roasted Jersey beets & toasted pine nuts with strawberry habanaro vinaigrette. We are featuring Springdales Boston lettuce & the last of their strawberries in the salad.<br /><br />Seafood Teaser of pan seared sea scallops with diced zucchini & yellow squash in a creamed squash blossom sauce with sauteed Jersey spinach. Springdale will provide the squash & squash blossoms<br /><br />Grilled Carne Asada with grilled local scallions topped with fresh lime & sea salt with roasted baby carrots<br /><br />And to finish it off..............<br /><br />Jersey Strawberry & Coconut Bread Pudding topped with Strawberry Compote & Whipped Cream. Cinnamon bread & straberries from Springdale.<br /><br />All this for only $29.95 (does not include beverages, tax or gratuity)<br /><br />We are still accepting reservations for this special event.Chef Mark Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15659073622377747958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226686098038784618.post-65776770794423755032009-06-05T13:12:00.000-07:002009-06-05T13:17:43.170-07:00Tortilla Press Dinner Specials Friday June 5Soft Shell Crab Salad, Mixed Lettuce & Citrus Vinaigrette $11<br /><br />Pan Seared Sea Scallops, Chipotle Goat Cheese Sauce $21<br /><br />8 oz.
