Iold country charm

2014 has seen chefs paying tribute to their forefathers through hearty menu items with " old country " charm . Inspired by global culinary phenoms like René Redzepi of Copenhagen ' s Noma , hunting and foraging for local meats and vegetables are undergoing a renaissance with ' Peg chefs , as are traditional methods of preserving . Venison and lamb are stars — Era Bistro serves up venison loin with sweet potato , and Rudy ’ s Eat and Drink dishes up comfort in their lamb curry . Charcuterie , once used as meat preservation before refrigeration , is in vogue as a robust starter . Find such protein presentations across town , like the dry cured sausage and pate charcuterie at Peasant Cookery . Canned vegetables preserving pioneer practices are appearing as garnishes at pubs and bistros ; sauerkraut tops the Manitoba Reuben at Tap & Table and bratwurst at Gasthaus Gutenberger . — KM
