Beat the crowds, eat local, save money...
We're celebrating the opening of the Washington State Peach season by grilling peaches. Actually, we're including a Grilled Peach Sorbet as part of an Early Bird Special. The Cantina has been quite busy last few days, since Seattle Metro named us "Best New Neighborhood Joint", in their July '08 Best of the City issue. As it turns out, we're seeing a LOT of folks coming in for dinner after 7:00, so we have empty seats earlier in the evening. In keeping with our mission, to be able to provide affordable, tasty food to the neighborhood we're doing a 3 full course meal, Green Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette, choice of Meat Loaf or Chicken Fried Steak, and a soft drink and Grilled Peach Sorbet for dessert. Scroll down to see a photo of the sorbet. All of this for only $15.00. That is 3 full courses, including soft drink at a 25% discount from what our "average" guest spends on a meal. This special is available Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from 5:00 to 6:30, every evening that we're open, except Saturday/Sunday.
Starting this weekend we're also offering a "Peach 3-Way" with Riesling Poached Peaches, Grilled Peach Sorbet, and Peach-Rhubarb Crumble, made with Ballard grown Rhubarb and Granola-Pecan topping.

I think you mean it's available every day you're open except Fri/Sat.
That meatloaf...OMG, and we hadn't ever tried the Prawns before. My mom ordered them, and then Chrissy and I looked at each other in a "have we not tried these before, I could have swore one of us had ordered it" kinda way. We both tried a bite from my mom, and they were amazing. I still don't know if I'm ready to give my meatloaf yet, but man. I also tried that mustard habanero sauce, and ordered the gravy on the side. The meatloaf in the mustard stuff is to die for. I don't know if horseradish is traditional or not, but I've always been a fan of horseradish on my meatloaf, b/c it is generally a spiciness I can tolerate alot better than habanero type spice. My question is, would you be game to make a horseradish sauce?
The mashed potatos however were off the chart spicy, and I couldn't enjoy them without putting the white gravy on them.
Until next time! Great seeing you as always.
