Local D’Lish Grand Opening
Although Local D’Lish has been providing locally sourced foods to the Warehouse District neighborhood for over a month, today was their Grand Opening Event. I had a chance to stop by to taste many of the goodies that they carry. I know it might sound corny, but I can’t help saying that the flavors were simply “d’lish”!
Spicy chipotle salsa from the Salsa Lady, decadent orange chocolate from River Chocolate Company, and the spicy barbecue sauce from Spooky’s were among my favorite of the samples. I can’t forget, however, the very tasty and unique aebleskivers from Aunt Else’s Aebleskiver. Warm doughnut-like pastries with an apple baked inside…wow!
Last week I also had a chance to check out their dairy and meat products as I was doing a little grocery shopping in preparation of some friends coming to dinner. I had gone to the store and wasn’t happy with the bone-in skin-on chicken that was available, so I decided to go to D’Lish. I was very pleased with the selection of sausage, beef and poultry and I went home with a whole chicken to use for dinner and a couple meals to follow. Although it does cost a bit more to buy local, it pays off in flavor and you can use the leftovers for many things. The first night I made lemon, sage and garlic roast chicken, then the leftover chicken went into stuffed green peppers and the rest was put to use for chicken stock. Buying local is definitely worth it!
In cooperation with the Mill City Farmer’s Market, D’Lish will also be the site for the Winter’s Food Market. Be sure to check it out on the third Saturday of every month from 10am-2pm.
