Have you heard the news???
We here at The Raving Gamer Bistro are huge supporters of local farms and producers. In an effort to reduce our global footprint we have decided to stop using imported lettuces like romaine and some other items as well. So, you will start to see some of these changes on our menu item shortly if you have not yet seen them. One big change we have already made is to our Caesar Salad. We have started to use A Rocha Farms Salanova lettuce, a crisp green lettuce grown just 12 mins away from us in Surrey. We have started to make our own Caesar dressing in house, (so if you have allergies please let us know) and another big change is we have decided to no longer use imported Parmesan. Instead we are using Golden Ears Cheesecrafters “Charmisan”!!! It is a great substitute and was a happy mistake in their recipe production which increased the salt in the recipe and resulted in a great product.
Also, with the move to local produce, you may see some alterations that are necessary with the seasons with many of our products because we do not have a year round growing season. This means we will attempt to keep our menu as viable as possible with familiar products but you may see some changes like “Kale Caesar” towards the fall, or swiss chard on our burgers instead of lettuce. But be assured they will still be a great option. This also could mean that we may start to see some “ugly” vegetables. This means not picture perfect but still a great edible product. We have made a conscious decision to help our farmers reduce waste by taking some of their “ugly” produce and made items like our Carrot Pickles and our Bread and Butter Pickles!
We hope you like our changes and efforts to help local businesses as much as possible. And we hope to see you soon to try out the changes!
