Battle of the Terrines: Apple vs. Pork
November 5, 2011 – 9:18 am
Eric and Ines Storhok were back in the kitchen again with their all-for-fun Battle of the Terrines.
Eric approached the challenge with a full on pork terrine, sliced thick and served atop a rich chunk of Miette brioche, with a perfectly fried egg and a side of autumn salad greens. Man, was this ever good!
Ines had a sweet approach, with an apple terrine, topped with a garnish of salty popcorn and a drizzle of the best home made caramel sauce in all the land, served with a side of apple hash and crispy bacon. Creative and tasty!
Who was the winner in the Battle of the Terrines? Selma Cafe guests, that’s who! Both specials were super popular, and equally loved. Thank you Eric, Ines and all the volunteers who prepped, served and cleaned up this week!
Finally, as I mentioned last week, we have a new weekly house special on the menu. Take a look at Huevos Sancho, our Mexican inspired dish featuring an all local focus: scrambled eggs, garlicky black beans, fresh crema, warmed tortillas and chorizo. Delicioso, for sure.
Enjoy this beautiful fall weekend, and looking forward to seeing you in our kitchen soon,

Juicy Kitchen rocked the house, serving 190 guests an awesome breakfast
November 5, 2011 – 8:32 am
Sous chef Mela Belle and expeditor Andrew Bozio flank Juicy Kitchen owner and chef Susan Todoroff last Friday, where the thee of them rocked out 190 breakfasts with non-stop energy and fun.
Roasted butternut squash served with sweet potato hash, topped with a fried egg and served with a side of bacon and autumn salad mix was a hearty, delicious, beautiful savory special.
Pumpkin and farm cheese, sweetened with maple syrup, filled rich buckwheat crepes and created a luscious comfort food breakfast. Topped with apple and cinnamon, and served with bacon and autumn salad mix, this was one of the most popular specials ever served at Selma Cafe.
So many people, and not enough specials equals creative kitchen scrambling at 9am. Lucky for us, we had a big pot of garlicky black beans in the fridge, and we whipped up a last minute dish– a fried egg, black beans, creme fraiche, salsa, and warmed tortillas. Sometimes pressure leads to innovation, and this was one of those times. Look for our new house special, Huevos Sancho in the next few weeks.
Thanks to everyone for coming out to volunteer and support Selma Cafe by eating breakfast with us!
Looking forward to seeing you in the kitchen soon,
