New Potato Salad with Dijon and Egg Cheddar and Dill Pasta Salad “Longtime friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman love tequila. On the rocks, by the shot, at times, straight from the bottle. Tequila-filled nights with friends is how Casamigos was born. … We worked on the creation of Casamigos with our master distiller in Jalisco, Mexico for years, and held many blind tastings until we knew we got it right. We’ve been drinking our tequila with friends and family for over five years now. It was never intended to be released to the public. It’s all we serve at our homes in Mexico, so it’s literally our house tequila. We are delighted that consumers and tequila connoisseurs alike enjoy our award-winning spirit. Casamigos, is a small batch, ultra premium tequila made from the finest, hand-selected 100% Blue Weber agaves, grown in the rich red clay and cool climate of the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.” Caesar Salad House Green Salad with Assorted Dressings Chilled Shrimp and Mussels with Sauces and Fresh Lemon University Club Breakfast Sandwiches with herbed Eggs and House-made Sausage Patties Cheesy Scrambled Eggs Bacon and Wild Rice Sausage Mini Bagels and Lox Stuffed French Toast with Maple Syrup and Whipped Cream Breakfast Potatoes Call us and book a table for a little beginning-of-week lunch fun!
