Brews & Booze News
Our mixologist, Maureen, has created two special drinks for Mom's Day - strawberry rhubarb sangria and watermelon aqua fresca (non-alcoholic).

Each month, we try new brews, sampling local picks as well as rare finds from faraway places. The selection changes and varies by neighborhood. In May, we're featuring Full Sail IPA, Wormtown Blonde Cougar Ale and Cody Wheelers Brown to name a few. Click here to see your local beer specials.

Chef Bodington's Monthly Tip

• Snap peas are in season! I love snap peas - sweet and crunchy, but they need a little prep. They have a stem on one end fibrous strings along the sides. To remove the stem and strings at the same time, hold the stem between your thumb and index finger, snap and pull down.
• My favorite way to cook snap peas is sautéing them. Melt butter in a pan or use olive oil, add fresh minced garlic, then cook your snap peas for about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt.
