“Snack Foods” on Menus
“Easy to share, they offer not only a great way to start a meal, but often complement [Moxie’s] ever-evolving specialty cocktail menu,” says Chef Tom Gray.
Americans love to nosh, and the growing “snack food trend” speaks to this. Its all about dressing up the unsophisticated foods we all love and serving them with a little swank. For years, Orsay has had the most popular happy hour on this side of the river in part due to its Pomme Frites alone, but more so thanks to its perfectly balanced small plate and cocktail menu. Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails has an entire menu section dedicated to “snack foods,” from kettle corn and corn nuts, to crispy pigs ears and farm-fresh deviled eggs.
