Weekly specials February 10-14


            This chilly week deserves some heart-warming specials to beat the cold weather blues.  In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Campus House is featuring a selection of dishes nearly guaranteed to warm the heart.

***Fresh cod is topped with a touted aphrodisiac -- crabmeat -- then pan roasted and served over sautéed Brussels sprouts.


*** Grilled petit filet of sirloin is paired with gorgonzola potato pie and asparagus, then enriched with a white truffle demi glace -- the swankiest of gravies.


***Chicken salad gets a spicy Cajun spin -- blackened and served over fresh greens tossed with chickpeas, sundried tomatoes with chipotle honey vinaigrette. This salad feature also takes advantage of a limited-time winter specialty – fresh blood orange segments.


***Ham and Lorraine swiss grilled cheese is the sandwich feature, made even livelier with a raspberry jalapeno jam.

***This week’s soup is a classic Italian favorite - Tuscan white bean, kale & sausage soup.
               


Campus House seeks to stock its bar with a selection of libations, where the focus is on quality.  Often, this means hand selecting small-batch distillery liquors, single vineyard wines, and locally brewed beers.

***The wine feature is a Lambrusco, made by Rinaldini in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy.  This Lambrusco is a dry red wine that happens to pair beautifully with many foods, but especially with charcuterie.  The wine is fermented in the old world style, carried on by old Italian family traditions.

***The featured liquor is Domaine de Canton, a ginger-infused cognac, distilled in France with spicy yet delicate fresh baby Vietnamese ginger.  This spirit is complex enough to hold its own as a mixer with a variety of liquors like vodka or whiskey.

***The beer feature has been a staple at Campus House for nearly a dozen years.  Southern Tier’s IPA, from Lakewood, NY, is a hoppy brew that has stood the test of time and remained a house favorite in an era where trendy beers come and go in the blink of an eye.
