Brengman Brothers Winery in Traverse City has announced a brand new culinary program helmed by Chef Loghan Call. Explore the new tapas menu and take a close-up look at some of these gorgeous, new dishes highlighting local ingredients.
This is an official press release brought to you by MyNorth News Service, Brengman Brothers Winery & Chef Loghan Call.
Chef Loghan Call (of Planted Cuisine) is the creative energy behind the new culinary program at Brengman Brothers Winery that highlights the bounty of the Northern Michigan agricultural region through a tapas-style menu.
The menu will be available every day from 2 p.m. until close (except for weddings or other private event days) and features a selection of savory options that highlight local ingredients. The inspiration for the new menu is the same as Brengman Brothers commitment to fine wines—quality over quantity and a deep reverence for the local region.
The menu features a little bit of everything from individual-sized pizzas using dough from 9 Bean Rows, to Smorgasbords featuring a selection of local meats and cheeses, along with ever-changing jellies, relishes, crackers and other delights made in-house by Sous Chef John Weber.
The savory small plates section is a snapshot of what Chef Loghan has become known for in the area- —taking quality, local ingredients and letting them shine. Examples include Michigan BBQ chickpea (or Roast Beef) lettuce wraps and a pull-apart cheesy bread utilizing Leelanau Cheese Co. raclette cheese topped with an heirloom tomato salad (the tomatoes and much of the fresh produce coming from just down the road at Lakeview Hill Farm and Loma Farm).
Rounding out the menu is a small sweets selection featuring Moomer’s Sorbets, Grocer’s Daughter Chocolates and Carol’s Chocolate Chip Cookies.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring this menu to life at Brengman Brothers, it showcases the immense talents of our region’s farmers, purveyors, ranchers and cheesemakers.” Chef Loghan Call says. “The menu features something for everyone with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options, along with a wonderful selection of local meats.”
