Dear Foodie Friends,

Can you believe it’s already April? Spring is in the air, and so is the scent of fresh, seasonal eats just waiting to be discovered! As we shake off the last chills of winter, we’re gearing up for another month filled with flavor, fun, and unforgettable experiences.

April 1st may be a day for pranks and jokes, but when it comes to food, we don’t kid around—unless we’re talking about how many tacos one person can eat in a single sitting. (No judgment… we’ve all been there.)
Denise Righetti
This month, we’re stirring up some seriously fun culinary experiences across the country—think hands-on cooking classes, foodie field trips, wine and cheese pairings, and of course, our signature food tours that uncover the delicious stories behind every bite.

So whether you’re planning a team-building activity, a client appreciation event, or just looking for a fun excuse to gather around the table, we’ve got something on the menu for you.
Here at Savor Our City, we believe food should always surprise and delight—so remember to let us help you explore hidden culinary gems of a new neighborhood, or find ways to serve up serious flavors packed with serious fun.
Wishing you a month full of delicious discoveries, and plenty of delicious treats!

YOU MUST TRY THIS

BOUTIQUE BUTCHER SHOP!

If you’re a carnivore at heart or just appreciate top-quality meats, you need to check out my latest Foodie Find: The Meat Dealer Market in Mizner Plaza, right in Downtown Boca Raton.

This boutique butcher shop specializes in Australian & Japanese Wagyu, USDA Prime & Premium steaks, game meats, poultry, seafood, and even caviar.  
But what’s got me extra excited is their new sandwich menu—a small but mighty lineup currently featuring Pastrami, Cuban, and Lamb sandwiches. I tried the pastrami and let me tell you, it’s next-level delicious. I haven’t had the lamb yet, but it’s definitely on my list!

Another reason to love this place? They offer weekly drop prices and a special freezer basket with top-tier meats that have reached their “best shelf life” date—at 50% off! A great way to stock up without sacrificing quality.

YOU MUST TRY THIS SALAD RECIPE: 

Shaved Spring Vegetable and Apple Salad with Ginger-Dijon Dressing

Spring has officially sprung—and it’s about time. While we wait for the weather to warm up to our liking, we’re getting excited for sunnier meals ahead that put seasonal produce in the spotlight. Think asparagus, peas, cauliflower, apples, hemp hearts... OH MY!
Ingredients:
Dressing
½ cup avocado oil or light-tasting olive oil
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salad
½ head purple cauliflower, shaved thin
½ head white cauliflower, shaved thin
1 Gala apple, sliced into matchsticks
6 stalks asparagus, shaved
1 cup snap peas, split
¼ cup finely diced red onion
¼ cup hemp hearts or sunflower seeds
½ cup Ginger-Dijon Dressing
Fresh mint and parsley leaves, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
1. Make the Dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine ¼ cup cup water with the oil, vinegar, ginger, mustard, maple syrup, salt and pepper, to taste. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

2. Make the Salad: Combine the cauliflower, apple, asparagus, snap peas, red onion and hemp hearts in a large salad bowl.

3. Just before serving, add the dressing and toss. Add the fresh mint and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Note: Hemp hearts are the seeds of the hemp plant, commonly grown in the Northern Hemisphere. They are very versatile and have a rich nutty flavor. If you cannot find hemp hearts at your local grocery store, raw sunflower seeds work great too!

Having Fun With Savor Our City 
“Thank you for the outstanding job you did for Aetna’s “Cocktails & Connections” client networking event for Brown & Brown. From the thoughtfully designed signage to the beautifully organized room, everything was executed with such care and professionalism.
