Chef lingo of “seasonal” and “local” bear a whole new dimension when the executive chef and resident grower collaborate in planning garden plantings. Milton’s Cuisine & Cocktails in historic Crabapple is such a place, where executive chef Derek Dollar and Peter Kohm, resident grower for the right-out-back Milton’s Acre, work together with menu and guest pleasure in mind. That’s seed-to-fork dining right down to the roots. Dollar’s new spring menu testifies to garden goodness with dishes such as garden herb flatbread with goat cheese-pesto spread and heirloom tomatoes ($10); baby red romaine salad with celery, carrot curls, toasted sunflower seeds, shaved Parmesan, caper blossoms and lemon-basil vinaigrette ($8); chef’s vegetable plate of garden vegetables and almond quinoa, grilled asparagus, garlic wax beans, pickled beets, summer squash casserole and sunflower pesto ($21); honey-glazed bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin with aged white cheddar rice grits, yellow wax beans, cracked mustard-country ham demi and black truffle butter ($28); and crispy striped bass with summer squash casserole, arugula and crispy red onion salad, sunflower romesco and arugula oil ($30). More dishes incorporating Milton’s Acre herbs and gems include shrimp and country ham ceviche ($10), deviled farm eggs ($8) and mussels and Sapelo Island clams ($14). Back in November when we were giving thanks for our Thanksgiving Day feasts, Dollar and Kohm were poring over a pile of 40 seed and plant catalogs, evaluating customer favorites, garden successes and other factors while determining this spring’s planting scheme. For their foresight and our backdoor-close, farm-fresh feast, we truly give thanks. Make reservations online or call 770-817-0161.

Food, laughter and the great outdoors are three of our favorite things in life, and Milton's Cuisine & Cocktails is bringing them all together on Wednesday, July 17th with a sunset screening of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" for their Fork & Screen on the Green series. The hit PG-13 movie became the highest-grossing romantic comedy of all time and spurred oft-repeated lines such as Maria Portokalos' Bundt cake revelation of "There's a hole in this cake!" Pack up your comfy lawn chairs or blankets and leave the rest to Milton's: a boxed chef dinner for $25 per person and a cash bar with Vixen Vodka cocktails and FIJI Water sure beat the overpriced concessions and stale popcorn at the local theater. (Sorry, no outside food or drinks permitted.) Movie begins at dusk; no advance reservations needed. Planning for a group of eight or more? Contact Heather Testerman at 678-431-8753.
