THURSDAY SMOKED SPECIALTY – RIB TIPS & HOT LINK ~ WEEKEND SPECIAL ANNOUNCED
rib tips & hot link combo | vanilla panna cotta | blackberry bourbon smash | MUST TRY!
tonight’s “thursday night smoked specialty”
This week, Pitmaster Spencer Smith and the Carpe Vino team will be having a lil fun with “Big Burda” as they create Carpe Vino’s fist smoked rib tips and hot link combo! Recently we found an article in the Chicago Tribune highlighting the “BEST BBQ ON CHICAGO’S SOUT SIDE” (click pic to left for full story) and this dish, the RIB TIP and HOT LINK COMBO is KING!
Don’t want to read the whole article, here is what you need to know: “While not the most expensive cuts, when treated carefully by expert pitmasters, the combo hits with maximum force. If you don’t mind some deft eating around the inedible bits, rib tips offer unbridled bites of absurdly juicy pork. And what better partner for something so unhinged than an aggressively seasoned and spicy link of sausage? As is tradition, these meats rest upon a bed of french fries where they are drenched in sauce (unless you ask for sauce on the side) and covered with a couple slices of white bread.” – Chicago Tribune, Nick Kindesperger, June 26, 2019

weekend special (friday & saturday)
This Friday and Saturday, Chef Tim Dube and his team, will be preparing “salmon pastrami mi-cuit” as their weekend special. This chilled “summer-salmon-starter” will be soaked in a housemade pastrami brine and prepared “Mi-Cuit” or half-cooked. The result is a perfect piece of Salmon with decadent texture and tenderness tantalizing your taste buds. A true gem!
