We have been enjoying the dinner for two at Bolsa Mercado, especially on guest chef night which happens to be today. The premise behind the guest chef night is that a different chef will offer a boxed dinner for two each Thursday evening, and the proceeds benefit Café Momentum.
Each chef has been asked to incorporate produce grown in the garden of the Dallas County Youth Village within their menus. This week Bolsa Mercado is featuring the food stylings of The Grape’s own Brian Luscher.
Chef Luscher’s 3-course “Dinner for Two” menu includes Toby Haggard’s Texas Arugula & Mizuna Salad, Charred Corn, Pickled Onions, Texas Tomatoes, Vital Farms Egg, Hand-Torn Croutons and Fresh Herb Buttermilk Dressing; Dry-Rubbed Local Beef Flank Steak, Roasted Yams with Pole Beans, Caprino Royale Goat Feta & Flat Leaf Parsley and Black Pepper-Lemon Butter; and Black Plum Cornmeal Butter Cake with Spiced Rum Anglaise.
The dinners sell out fast and hover around the $20 mark. Get your butter cakes over to Mercado at 634 W. Davis Street in Oak Cliff and snag a bag. Website/Phone: http://www.bolsadallas.com 214.942.0451
