The Good Things in Life
Cakes & Ale, in Decatur, is owned by Chef Billy Allin. Come meet him at the show!
“The Good Things in Life” —that’s what Cakes & Ale means to chef/owner Billy Allin. And yum, yum, yum…. the food at Cakes & Ale is good indeed.
This wonderful Decatur restaurant whips up its meals from scratch everyday, using the best and freshest vegetables in season from local stores. Their freshly-milled grains are artisan-produced; the meats and non-endangered fish species are humanely raised. In short, dining at Cakes & Ale means better taste and more nourishment for you and your family.
What’s cooking right now, in the winter of 2009? Chef Billy shops at this time of year for lettuces, trout, and radishes.
Today’s menu—just to give you an example, as the delicious offerings change frequently–includes entrees like these:
- trout stuffed with bay, lemon, garlic and croutons;
- roasted pork loin with rye bread stuffing, creamed Brussels sprouts, and apples;
- spicy Italian sausage and slow-cooked cabbage on polenta;
- and more. Are you hungry yet?
I am! Join me to hear Chef Billy talk about “Cooking from the Garden” on Sun., Feb. 1, at 12 noon on the Home Depot Stage. Bring your appetite!
cheers,
Lynn
P.S.–don’t forget to look for me at the show. I’ll be blogging live each day inside the Galleria. On Wed., Jan. 28, I’ll be there around 5 P.M.
