Today’s photo blog is from last Sunday’s brunch at Raven’s Glenn Winery near Coshocton, Ohio. Adjusting to new towns also means exploring local restaurants. I admit that I’ve gotten such a taste for “fine dining” that it’s sometimes takes a little time to return to my roots. From the list in hand given to me by locals and from the internet, it appears Coshocton food is very much like the fare available near the region where I grew up, in western Pennsylvania. This means it’s delicious, but also that if I want selections more gourmet, or raw, or just, well, not fried or casseroled, I may have to actually start learning to cook. (Gee, what a concept, huh?)
In the meantime, I’m enjoying local wine and country cooking and still…always look forward to bringing you local flavors. Sometimes when I stop being a food snob, I remember what it is I love about small town cooking. Here is a photo blog about what I love at Raven’s Glenn Winery Sunday Brunch.
Love, Marla
- Ravens Glenn Winery and Restaurant
- Friendly Chef Alex makes a perfect omelette at Raven’s Glenn Sunday brunch.
- I forget how much I love ham. It’s still a huge weakness in my physical need to be more vegetarian. I’ll regret it later, but good golly this was done perfectly, as was my omelette.
- A car show was taking place in the parking lot of Raven’s Glenn while I was there.
- Country charm at Ravens Glenn Sunday buffet brunch
- I wish these desserts had been available in sample sizes. One of the best features of a brunch is to introduce new (and regular) diners to a variety of menu options (hence the buffet), so that we will choose different items when we come for regular evenings. For this reason, a lot of brunches I’ve been to (and believe me, I’ve lost count) make desserts bite size/sample size so that you have a “taste” of more than one. There was no way I was going to take four whole pieces to the table knowing I couldn’t finish them all. I selected the lemon berry cake (no descriptions on the table so best guess on what each was). It was delicious.
- Lovely Server Lisa holds the bottle of Sangria I bought. She gave me a great recipe tip for mixing their sangria with a few other things to make a party punch.
- Views at Raven’s Glenn winery
- Morning Sangria and a view of the river. Great table for brunch at Raven’s Glenn.
Looks & sounds lovely!
Thanks. I’m looking forward to trying them for dinner some evening with Kurt.
