Glimmer & Glow Summer Menu

Glimmer & Glow Summer MenuCapture the childhood magic of chasing fireflies with an old-fashioned outdoor repast amid the gentle flicker of candlelight. Grab the glimmer and glow of summer! 

Surrounded by a medley of rustic seating and cloaked in the vibrant hues of high summer, an alfresco table beckons guests to gather beneath the trees. Rich turquoise and bottle green mingle in a casual array of dishware, tumblers, and footed goblets, all anchored by crisp linens in green and white.

Tucked amid a collection of potted herbs and blooms, lanterns line this tabletop and grow more luminous as dusk falls while tiny strands of lights sparkle inside frosted Mason jars. Candles in glass vessels suspended from the branches appear to float in midair, a dream-like backdrop as fireflies lazily drift by. 

Classic Summertime Selections

Flavors as bright as the setting sun combine for a robust summer menu that pays homage to the beloved Southern food traditions. Start your gracious occasion with Mixed Green Salad with Deviled Egg Dressing and Southern Cornbread Croutons and Herbed Crab Cakes.

The Main Event

Succotash gets a fresh spin in the form of a relish that pairs with tender Oven-Roasted Brisket. Serve this dish alongside homemade Sweet and Crunchy Pickles, Roasted Okra with Pepper Jelly Sauce, and Pimiento Cheese Macaroni and Cheese.

Sweet Endings

A creamy, chilled Basil-Strawberry Crème Tart puts the final flourish on this fanciful celebration of summer in the South.
