Afternoon spread.

Burek: Azerbaijani regional phyllo dough pastry filled with cheese. To be eaten with a sumac yogurt sauce or Turkish sour cherry preserves. Pickles, cheeseboard spread, and banana pudding to keep the whole situation “local&rd

Scones, muffins, chicken apple sausage, fruit salad, strawberry pop-tarts, whipped cream, and absolutely no vegetables in sight cheesy baked eggs. Kid friendly breakfast with about two gallons of coffee not pictured. Thank you, White Claw + IPAs.
