A HUGE shout out to Raven who noted that about a half dozen went nowhere. I have asked for everyone to check their links to make sure they are working. I was thinking every subsequent year of offering a patch for the shirt. Would you all like to have (purchase) an official Countdown to Halloween shirt/sweatshirt? Begin this year? Next year? It is something I was kicking around with Dex. I am not sure if Dex had time to ask you or if he was to ask during the survey but. NOTE: Be sure to come back here for some round up things including a survey and a giveaway. I truly do love it all!Īre you still visiting others? I have seen some. You all are so brilliant with your movies, music, houses, books, designs, creeps, and critters. It has been no doubt the best places to be for my full on October spookiness. I have completed the run to everyone's crypts. Are you keeping up the proverbial ghostly mist or has your broomstick caught fire and burned? I am afraid that mine may be burning but I will get there none-the-less. Main dishes look good, too.As if you did not know, we are into our final week of the countdown. The list of sandwiches and entree salads includes the aforementioned 30 Dollar splurge a Canal chop salad with romaine and butter lettuces, dried cherries, aged cheddar, and pine nuts and a grilled cheese sandwich with aged cheddar, fontina, Manchego, crisp pancetta, and a side of tomato bisque. (There will be lunch service as well, starting October 30.)Īmong a dozen salads and small plates (nothing's listed as an 'appetizer,' mind you), look for sweet corn cakes with avocado salad, cotija cheese, arugula, and red pepper puree duck confit-layered tostadas with peppered Georgia peach tomato salsa and chipotle jicama slaw and grilled artichoke with Manchego, arugula, and whole-grain mustard dressing.

(Yeah, you might be sick of hearing about SouthBridge by now, but get used to it - the place is only going to get more attention over the next several months, especially in the way of restaurants.)Ĭhef Justin Beckett's finalized dinner menu just came out this morning, and, as usual, I'm making myself hungry just looking at it. Well, I only have to hold out one more week, because Canal, the newest eatery to bust out on the world at Fred Unger's stylish SouthBridge development, is set to open on October 16.

Since I first blogged about it, it's been embellished with watercress and avocado as well.

I've had this ridiculous two-month-long craving for a dish that sounds both absurdly pricey and really damn tasty: Canal's 30 Dollar Sandwich.
