Blues, Brews & Local Roots BBQ
August 12, 2010 (6:30pm - 9pm)
Midsummer perfection!
BBQ. Barbecue. Barbeque. No matter how you spell it, this is an extraordinary one-night-only dining event in the heart of Greenfield Village! The food – all of it locally produced and locally sourced – is fabulous: Ann Arbor Goat Cheese Cake, heirloom tomato salad, TMZ Farm Buffalo Burgers, Chili Braised AlMar Orchard Pulled Pork followed by Michigan Blueberry Streusel Tart (full menu below). Each course comes with a select beer offering from Kalamazoo-based Bell’s Brewery. And save room for dancing, because we’ll wind up the evening with some sassy boogie-woogie blues from the Front Street Blues Band. Midsummer perfection!

Sorry, but Blues, Brews & Local Roots BBQ is sold out for 2010.
