Hey, did you see that we’ve extended the dinner/show deal with “Stringman…in search of the silent notes”? Saturday sold out just about the time the posters were printed. A second show has been added on Friday, March 25th. Same deal: $30 gets you a three course dinner and a workshop performance of this new piece by Conrad Beaubien. All the details can be found over in the column to your right.

So, this is happening:

Click twice to embiggen so you can read the details.

Friday and Saturday shows now sold out. Waiting list: 613.399.2233 or email us.

In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Then Tall Poppy Café jumped up and changed the whole tone
By making a fresh pot and baking up scones

(sorry)

.

Alright, PEC foodies. We want to have a bit of fun in the bleak midwinter. Show us your best stuff and you could win!

.

Your signature dish could be here!

.

Submit the recipe (or a description and ingredients list if it’s top secret) of your signature dish, within the following parameters:

• accessible ingredients (no Kobe beef or Almas caviar, please); local is better
• appropriate as a lunch/dinner appetiser or entree
• fits the Tall Poppy food vibe

.

We will select the four entries we think will work best here. On consecutive weekends (February 26 to March 19), we’ll showcase one PEC foodie’s signature dish on our menu.

The winner will be chosen based on:

• number of servings sold Friday to Sunday
• customer star rating
• Magic 8 Ball

.

PRIZE:

The prestige: your dish featured as part of the menu at our dinner theatre event
The stuff: dinner* and a show for you and 3 friends (a $120 value)

Contest open Feb 14 – Feb 21 @ 3pm
Contestants notified Feb 22
Signature dishes run weekends of Feb 26, March 5, 12 and 19
“Stringman…playing the silence in the music” shows March 26 at Tall Poppy Café
.

The fine print:
We’ll need a little help to ensure we create the dish to your exacting standards. You will need to be available in the TPC kitchen 2 – 4 pm on the Thursday before the weekend we feature your dish so you can show us your stuff (adhering to strict food handling regulations, of course) OR submit a detailed recipe and be accessible to us via phone/email in case we need pointers.

* from the prix fixe menu (appetiser, entree and dessert). Beverages and grats extra.
