I try to buy produce when it’s in season and support Canadian companies whenever I can. Going local is a concept I embrace. Apparently Canyon Creek restaurants, here in Ontario, feel the same way. Until the end of October, they’re featuring several “Local Harvest” selections on their menu.
My husband and I, when trying to decide where to go for our wedding anniversary next week, saw this menu and the decision was made. The Local Harvest menu features seven new seasonal items paired with Tag No. 5 Vodka from Oakville, Muskoka Harvest Ale and Niagara's House Wine co. Local AND yummy.
The Local Harvest Menu Includes:
Harvest Mushroom Soup
Ontario Chicken Wings
King Cole Smoked Duck Salad
Wellington County Flat Iron
Grilled Ontario Pork Chop
Wheatley Ontario Pickerel
Pumpkin Creme Brulee

I like to decide what I’m having before I even get to a restaurant. I hate asking the server, sheepishly, for yet another few minutes before ordering. When they return for the third time, I panic and end up choosing a meal at random. Having a game plan ahead of time is smart right? Or just weird. Either way, this is what I’ll be ordering at Canyon Creek next weekend.
To start, one (or five) Black Forest Martinis - featuring TAG No5 Vodka, Niagara Sour Cherry Juice, Chocolate Liqueur and chocolate pearls.
Canyon Creek Dip to share (though my man will be lucky if he even gets any. I'm a dip hog). Harvest Mushroom Soup as a starter, followed by the Wellington Flat Iron. Perhaps, if there's room, we'll split a Pumpkin Creme Brulee (that's a total fib. As if I'd pass on dessert or split one! Never gonna happen, but I didn't want you to think I was a glutton).
So now that I know what I’ll be ordering, what to wear? Likely something with an elastic waistband.
