Small Food, Big Plates: icon Grill Debuts Miniaturized
?Aroused Americana? Happy Hour |
| |
|
SEATTLE, Wash.?icon Grill, a restaurant long known
for Really Big Food, is turning to tiny trends as inspiration
for a new happy hour menu. Without straying from his signature
?Aroused Americana? comfort cuisine, Executive Chef Nick Musser
is offering eight new dishes, many inspired by childhood
favorites.
?The new happy hour menu is more conducive to sharing and makes
it easier to try a few different items,? says Musser. ?We like
to call it ?Aroused Americana for your fingers.??
During happy hour (in the lounge every day from 4 to 6 p.m. and
10 p.m. to close), the new mini menu items are available by the
piece, allowing guests to create their own combo plate or just
enjoy a small bite. Also offered during happy hour are selected
wines by the glass ($6) and draft beers ($4). Outside of happy
hour, these bite-sized items may be ordered in the lounge off of
the regular bar menu. |
