Cooks Underground

We are overrun with local produce. This is all getting prepped out for the Chris Argyle harvest festival taking place in Eden Utah tomorrow from 3 to 7pm. We are preparing a few new burgers and sides all made with this amazing produce and local beef from Argyle Acres. Local growers and live music. It is a great time to support and celebrate the people who feed us.

It's October again and like usual we are celebrating Halloween for the whole month. If you visit this month you have the option to put your burger on a "boo bun" an all natural black burger bun colored with squid ink and activated charcoal. It's a great way to have a little fun with your food.

This is your reminder, time is running out to try out the miataki mushrooms burger we call "the fantastic fungi" and while the weather holds we still have fresh heirloom tomatoes to add to your burger if you're a lover of the big round fruit.

We also want to give a huge thanks to Steep Mountain Farm Ashlie Watterson and the USU project farms for the amazing tomatoes we have enjoyed this summer. To Intermountain Gourmet Mushroom we couldn't make such an amazing burger without amazing mushrooms to go on it, you have our sincerest gratitude.

Alright, chicken has returned but we need your help if you want it to stay around this time. We simply need to sell more chicken to increase economies of scale and make sure we aren't losing all our effort to expiration. We only hold chicken for a few days. Help spread the word, let's keep this 🐔 party going!

Miataki Mushrooms

This is a favorite mushroom of our Chef.  Firmer and with a deeper flavor than oyster mushrooms.  These fruiting bodies hold up when cooking and make a great mushroom for grilling.  Cooked well these can be both crispy and browned while still having tender flesh in the thicker steam.  We peel these mushrooms into strips and crisp them on the flat top in tallow and clarified butter.  We love the flavor and to make sure the mushroom comes through we also spread duxelles across the bottom bun.  We start with Crimini mushrooms and mince them fine, followed by a squeeze in cheese cloth to remove the excess moisture.  These are sauted with shallow, white w**e and butter to a thick paste.   All this concentrates the mushroom flavor.   Come try the Fantastic Fungi if you want to see how it all comes together.

Tomato season is short here in cache valley but we will have fresh heirloom tomatoes to add to your burger until the season is over. Just in case you weren't aware. Have a great day.

We hope everyone is having a great weekend. We are working hard to get ready for next week. See you soon.

Welcome the fantastic fungi, our September special. It's a little late but there are only so many hours in a day. The Burger is ready to go in Logan and will be arriving in Paradise later this evening.

Burger anyone?

The grill still works so feel free to stop in and put your order in the old fashion way. We hope the interruption is cleared up by the end of today.
