Slow-Grilled Specials at Back Deck
Flame-licked Foods from Around-the-World Keep Diners Warm This Winter
As the temperature drops, Back Deck is warming things up with internationally-inspired fare, grilled low and slow to perfection. Starting in January, Chef Paul Sussman will serve up slow-grilled specials from a new location every two weeks. Monday through Saturday, the professional backyard grilling destination will offer slow-cooked special entrées with an international-flair.
On Sundays, join Back Deck for a three-course prix fixe dinner off-the-grills featuring the slow-grilled special entrée from that week accompanied by an appetizer and dessert that share the same regional inspiration. Spice up traditional Sunday supper as Back Deck transports you to Southern Italy with a Bruschetta appetizer, flavorful Porchetta stuffed with sausage, raisins, pine nuts and sage and a sweet finale of cappuccino cookies. Or head to the Far East for Cantonese Classics like hoisin glazed short ribs and chicken wings with black bean sauce.
