Summer at The Patterson House


Summer has arrived, the heat is here in Nashville.  It isn't bashful either. 
So the brains at the bar have developed exciting and refreshing new cocktails. They are delicious, I've tried them all.  The Summer Negroni is an amazing introduction to the world of Negronis.  It's light, semi-sweet, and barely bitter.  A great drink to sip with some food. 
Speaking of food, the Summer menu goes into effect this Tuesday! The additions to the food menu are as follows: 

Caprese Bruschetta - Tomato, Mozzarella, Basil, Balsamic Vinegar. 
- This dish replaces our Gazpacho Bruschetta.  I loved the gazpacho bruschetta, but I also love cheese, and basil.  It should be a nice treat.  I have a tomato plant thats growing like crazy if I can get a few more the tomatoes will be picked from the vine to order. 

Confit of Chicken Wing - Buffalo Sauce, Danish Bleu Cheese
- Basically the best chicken wing ever.  Wings cooked low and slow in bourbon scented bacon fat, deboned, then breaded and fried to perfection. 

Chilled Chicken Tacos - Patterson House Salsa, Fiery Fiest Cheese, Avacado, Tequila Crema
- Its a taco... with booze in it.  This replaces our chicken salad.  It will be delightful. 

Summer Blue Ribbon - Honey-whipped Bleu Cheese, Ham, Chicken, Green Apple
- This is simply a lighter and more summery version of a LCB Sandwich.  

Pietro Panini - Nutella, Peanut Butter, Benton's Farm Bacon
- It's like a fat-ass reese's cup in a sandwich.

PH S'more - Graham Cracker, Nutella, House-made Orange Flower Water Marshmallows, Atomized Gin
- We made our own marshmallows for cryin our loud.  I asked Toby, "How can we make a s'more better than a s'more?"  He answered perfectly saying, "Put booze in it."  So we took a risk added gin to a s'more instead of the obvious Rum option.  And it is surprisingly enjoyable. I think it will be a hot item this Summer.  

So there you have it.  Our wheels have been turning at TPH.  The booze menu is exciting, and I hope you like what you've seen for food.  This is my first big menu change at The Patterson House. I'm excited about it, and hope you enjoy it.  

Cheers,
Ryan
