Fall Brings Thanksgiving Dinner and Polderside Lamb to the Chef’s Table
Given all that’s great about being here, Thanksgiving should be a year-round celebration for Vancouverites. In the end though, we fall into step with the rest of Canada to take one day in October to give thanks. So, in 2009, after the best summer on record and with a local restaurant scene that’s as healthy and vibrant as it has ever been, what better way to celebrate than with a meal made from fresh local ingredients in one of the best-loved and best-respected kitchens around?
Two Chefs and a Table are celebrating Thanksgiving this year with a menu that starts with the peerless and rare lamb from Polderside Farms and is completed with locally farmed traditional turkey and vegetables. The five-course menu offers the best value in town and covers a spectacular range of tastes including freshly prepared lamb pate, in-house butchered leg of lamb, and seasonal desserts made from scratch.
The Polderside Farms lamb used in this dinner is one of only four that were available this season. They raise Jacob’s Sheep, a heritage lamb, easily distinguishable from more domestic lambs by its black and white fleece and horns. It’s a hardy, adaptable species that’s well suited to organic husbandry methods. According to Virginia Jacobsen of Polderside “The heritage lamb has a finer meat texture, with a bold lamb taste . . . simply scrumptious!”
Thanksgiving Dinner will be served Saturday and Sunday October 10th and 11th on the holiday weekend and will be only $44 for the five courses. The full menu details are below and reservations are recommended.
If your Thanksgiving is already booked up, there are a number of other ways to enjoy a meal made with the delicious Polderside Lamb starting with loin and rack chops on this week’s fresh sheet. Upcoming highlights include house made lamb ravioli and sausage along with the next Wine Drinker Dinner which is set to go Wednesday September 30th.
