No one was hurt during the naming of these specials, but HR did look at us funny.
Here is what’s hitting the tables and bar all October at The Handle-Bar Tavern and Eatery:
Nightmare on Pesto-Street🍝
Tender ravioli tossed with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, and baby spinach, drowned in a rich Chardonnay crème sauce with aged parm and a pinch of red pepper. Add grilled steak, chicken, or shrimp if a vegetarian pasta gives you trust issues.
The Texas Chain-Sauce Massacre🥖
Three giant all-beef meatballs swimming in house marinara, shoved into a toasted French roll, and buried under melted Swiss. Served with tavern chips or fries. It’s messy, it’s aggressive, and wearing a white shirt to eat it is on you.
The Hills Have Pies🍗
Chicken pot pie had a baby with biscuits and gravy. A split warm buttermilk biscuit loaded with scratch-made creamy pot pie filling, topped with two crispy fried tenders dusted in Cajun spice. It will ruin your afternoon plans.
Hocus Pork-Us🐷
A monster 10oz pork chop with a hard sear, slathered in spiced Fuji apple butter glaze, served with your choice of side. Zero tricks, just solid fall comfort food.
The Purple People Eater Rita🍋🟩
Your choice of tequila, Concord grape, triple sec, and fresh lime, garnished with sour sugar-dusted candied grapes. Electric purple and deceptively drinkable.
The Bloodmoontini🍸
Gin, pineapple, tart lime, and a splash of soda. Tastes like juice, hits like liquor. Plan accordingly.
