Fig Week At The Restaurant~

This week we celebrated Figs for our seasonal item. I decided to do another set-menu since it worked so well the previous week. When the customer doesn't have options, it's usually a good thing. This reasoning has to do with "forcing" new ingredients and ideas upon the public. Most times customers get stuck in an eating rut and never venture in a new direction.
This menu is dedicated to those who think they dislike figs or just haven't had them.
Don't worry all diners were rewarded with Bacon Ice Cream...yep I said and we did it!
