What’s new at Victory 44 and The Kitchen….

We have been working on quite a few changes at Victory 44. Some have been a change in décor (and there is a lot more coming) and some have been in reformatting the menus. We have really expanded the beer offerings and have added quite the selection of artisan beers. We have also been reformatting the menu. We have reduced a portion of the menu and added an expanded chefs table that changes weekly. It has been so fun to create some of these dishes. The feedback has been amazing. The new chefs have been working so hard and it is really a menu that we all can be proud of.

We have also brought back our Saturday and Sunday brunch. Some of the highlights include: Maple Braised Bacon, Olive Oil Pancakes, Fried French Toast, and the “Chefwich”. The maple braised bacon literally is 6oz. of smoked and maple braised goodness. It is so good. The dish I love the most is the “Chefwich”. It is actually a pork tongue and fried egg sandwich. I know it sounds crazy but trust me it is really worth trying. The pork tongue goes through several different cooking methods and the results are so fantastic. So stop by Victory 44 and get some tongue…. :)

The Kitchen in Stillwater is in full swing as this hot summer is upon us. Chef David and I have been working on new menus out there as well. We have added some pretty great pastas and some really fantastic seafood. I can’t decide between the seafood sausage or the merguez or the crab cake or maybe the nicoise salad as to which is best. The whole menu is so fantastic. Our brunch out there is doing really well also. Stop by add grab one of our coveted patio tables and enjoy a fabulous meal.

Life is busy, restaurants are busy, four little boys at home are busy….but all in all I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Keep enjoying the great summer and be sure to indulge on plenty of great eats.
