The Menu

Finalizing the first draft of the menu today. You can see it here: www.sheffieldschicago.com/menu_1.htm and here: www.sheffieldschicago.com/menu_2.htm. I'm going to collect all the logos we were presented for consideration along the way and try to post them here also. We should be open in a couple of weeks. This is a southern style BBQ menu, presented in a bar room setting. So the big challenge is to make this work with what we've got going on already. Sheffield's has been around for twenty-seven years and its been years since we tried food service, so this is a big transition. The difference between now and then is, we're jumping in whole hog this time (BBQ, Hog, get it?) and committing to the kitchen 100%.
Why BBQ? We specialize in craft-brewed beers; google anything about Chicago and good beer and you'll see what I mean, or check out the web-site www.sheffieldschicago.com. And our big draw is our beer garden in the summer. So what goes with beer and beer gardens better than BBQ? We have big picnic tables outside, and, again, the casual feel of picnic and summer, under our old cottonwood tree, felt right for a smokehouse style menu. Stay tuned
