Menu for week of February 18


Hi Friends:

We are going to continue with our menu of last week with a few substitutions and daily specials.   A couple of weeks, add and subtract a bit, don't over stress the kitchen crew with too many changes. If you ever want to request a dish, or yearn for something that you might have enjoyed last year, please, don't hesitate to share that with us! Often, we forget about a dish and your recollection and requests are mighty handy.

Folks might notice us playing with our new sandwich station next week.  There will be a bit of experimenting as we create sandwiches that we hope please and challenge the palate as well as offer some grounded and familiar standards.  We will be roasting beef and turkey in house, revisiting our Roasted Eggplant Sandwich with tomato Chutney.

Menu for week of February 11


Hello True Believers:

With the ebbing of our grey days and the daylight prevailing just a tiny bit more each evening, we are happy to create the warm and comforting (hopefully stimulating, thought-provoking) foods that are commendable winter dishes. We are experimenting in the Kitchen with new dishes every day, and we are working on our plan to create a sandwich station separated from our entree area with more choices and some crazy fun combinations. Look for a few test items in the coming weeks as we prepare for the switch.

If you have not ventured out on a Saturday to our Indy Winter Farmers Market at the Original City Market, we highly encourage you to do so. It is a wonderful way to experience a Saturday, surrounded by good food, farmers, juicers, potters and your neighbors. It is a great outing to share with your entire family and it may be so rewarding that it becomes a tradition. Duos will be there selling our highly regarded Leblebi (Tunisian Breakfast Stew). 

Still getting some nice local product: Spicy Salad Greens, Arugula, Radishes and of course our Hamburger and eggs are always from Fischer Farms and our bacon is from Smoking Goose.

February is the perfect month to experience our Balance Bowl if you have not done so in the recent past.  It is a soul satisfying bit of comfort, tastiness and wellness all in one little bowl.  Organic Brown Rice and Organic Black Beans, we have grated Fischer Farm Egg(or not if you prefer vegan style), fresh spinach, scallion, red bell pepper and cilantro.  A little bit of Chipotle Aioli....oh yeah, that will do.  You might add chicken or tofu, if so desired.
 

our balance bowl!

 
Duos Mobile is enjoying its little break.  Although, we must say, we really miss being out on the street.  One of the critical reasons (besides just needing to cook!) we embarked upon our Mobile journey is that we love the notion of creating gathering places and moments in our city.  Hoping to foster a sense of community and perhaps, by choosing some different and unusual spots, exposing folks to new areas of our city and new ways of considering food.  So, come warmer and sunnier weather, we will be glad to resume that goal.  Meanwhile, it is such a pleasure to see our Mobile guests at the Kitchen.  You can't possibly know how much it means to us every single day that we get to cook up something and you get to enjoy that bite.

So, this next week, with the Addition of our Rustic chicken Pie and Daily Specials (I have been loving making the Devils' Pizza!), we will hold steady with the same menu with surprises every day.

MAIN

*South Indian Chole (chick pea stew) with Basamati Rice (vegan & gluten free)
*Roasted Chicken with Preserved Lemon and Honey
*Pork Tacos, Salted Cabbage and Queso Fresco
*Beautiful Beef Brisket and Egg Noodles
*Jerk Sloppy Joes with "Creamed" Spinach (vegan)
*Balance Bowl (vegan option, always gluten free, tofu or chicken option as well!)
*Special Surprises

SANDWICHES (look for our sassy new sandwich station to start very, very soon!)

*Baked Tofu (vegan)
*Big Al (fresh mozz, balsamic, basil, kalamata olives and roasted red peppers)
*BLT (our bacon comes from our local meatery, Smoking Goose.  They cure all their own meats!!!)
*Smoked Turkey with Cheddar & Smoked Paprika Aioli
*Pimento Cheese
*David's Favorite Egg Salad (we use only Fischer Farms Eggs!)
*A couple of new experiments that we cannot wait to share with you!
