As we closed the store down for the last time in 2011 on new years eve, I reflected back over the past few weeks of the holidays. I began thinking of how many customers that had come up to me and thanked me for the incredible prime rib or turkey they had gotten. It gives me such a feeling of honor to provide great food to your families that I want to turn it around and say thank you for your continued support of our quest to bring great meals to Eagle.
I also began to reflect beyond the last few weeks, that has turned into years. It is hard to believe that we will be hitting our 12 year anniversary in April. One thing that really stood out to me is how many customers I know by name, which gives me a great feeling of gratitude because I realize in order to know your name you are a regular customer. In fact a pretty good number of you I can remember back nearly 12 years ago in our early days at City Market. And how you so faithfully followed us as we made our move to our current location. So If I greet you by name, then a special thank you goes out to you because you are the ones who have made Porterhouse possible. If I don't know your name, I apologize. Please introduce yourselfthe next time you are in, and share with me your likes and dislikes too. This is how we continue to evolve, improve and grow into the Market that you want in your neighborhood.
Which leads me our commitments for 2012. We have been listening to you and we have been working on some new ideas that we are ready to introduce to you throughout this first month of the new year. Here they are:
- A two buck chuck sale in January, watch your in-box, it is the only way you'll know when it is coming (and do a friend a favor, get them on our e-list so they too can enjoy the sale)!
- New entree's and complete meals made in-house by our new chef Paul Faucher. Our pot pies were to test the water and they became an instant success selling out often. We are currently working on ideas, so now is your chance to voice your desires and help shape our new display case of Pauls cooking. Email me here with your suggestions.
- Charcuterie items made in-house such as our own corned beef, pastrami, roasted turkey breast, tasso and more.
- Re-designed lunch menu using our new Charcuterie items and more fresh breads from Cafe de Paris. January's lunch special is our new navel Pastrami served warm with melted Swiss, warm Sauerkraut, and Guiness mustard on Cafe de Paris light Rye bread.
- Ballard family cheeses are back, they too will make their way on the new lunch menu. You also will be able to purchase them sliced by the pound.
- Ferranti fresh pastas are back in the new entree case.
- We are challenging you to share your favorite recipe using a cut of meat or seafood from the Market. Our first winner was featured in December by Greg Nerude, you can see his short rib recipe on our website. Winners will receive a $20 gift card, an apron and hat. So get cooking & share with us.
- Designated short term parking in front of the store. Yes, I've heard from some of you loud and clear about parking especially Saturday mornings.
- Niman Ranch no nitrate line of products including bacon, ham, hot dogs.
- Smart Chicken: air chilled free range chicken including a line up of organic and nitrate free sausages.
Those are items that we are committed to bringing you for the new year. I welcome your thoughts, ideas and suggestions by emailing me here. Every email will be shared with my staff, and I promise to personally respond to each of you. A couple of other thoughts I've been tossing around are: Cooking classes or demos, Chef interviews for cooking tips and recipes by local chefs. What do you think? Let us know.
Thank you to every one of you for your continued support, I truly am grateful. I wish you a prosperous and happy new year full of pleasant surprises, and of course, good eating!

A good customer of ours came in looking for a particular cut that he couldn't find anywhere. We figured it out and made it for him. He then made the recipe and shared it with us. It inspired us to challenge our customers to share their recipes for a chance to win the "cut of the month" recipe contest. We will feature it here on the site and give you a $25 gift card. How wonderful is that?! The customer that inspired us was Greg Neruda with his Royal Short Ribs (click for recipe). We look forward to hearing about what you come up with, and make sure you send in photos as well! To submit your recipe for consideration, shoot us an email.
What says comfort food more than a delicious pot pie? We have created four fabulous versions of the old classic and have them available hot at lunch or in the freezer section. You know, in case you need a little warming up on a cold fall day. We have chicken curry, pork adobo, beef bourguignon, and of course the classic chicken and veggie. Just $6.50 each or 5 for $30. Now in stock!
We are thrilled to welcome Paul to our team, and just wait until you try his cooking. We don't like to brag, but he makes a mean pot pie, in addition to his amazing classical french training and high end cooking pedigree. He has earned his culinary stripes at the likes of 616 and Cafe de Paris, just to name a few locally, and in New Orleans, San Francisco and Hawaii as well as a graduate of the CIA in NY (yeah, it's kind of a big deal). He offers a fabulous ecclectic mix of food, travel, and his interests. You'll want to make sure you are on our newsletter list, as he has a few tricks up his sleeve and we'll have a lot more amazing food coming your way (here's a hint: he loves to smoke meats and sous vide, look it up, it's french and ooo la la)!
