It's almost that wonderful time of the year! So, what can you add to your menu to make it even more wonderful for your guests? Here are some ideas that I think will be perfect to feature on your holiday menus this year!
- Glazed Ham
Ham is always a traditional menu item for the holidays. But we can make it trendy and a little more appealing with a glaze, and why not try an apple glaze? Apples are a great seasonal item, too, and they make a great glaze. There's a wonderful recipe for an apple glaze in the current Martin Bros. Dish! magazine. - Beef Tenderloin
Beef tenderloin is a great upscale option that isn't always on menus, which makes it a great holiday special. During the holiday season, customers are willing to spend more on a meal, which makes its higher price tag an easier sell. Check out a great beef tenderloin option and cooking directions in the current Martin Bros. Dish! magazine. - Risotto
Risotto is very underutilized, but it's a great side to offer for something a little different or a perfect entrée option for vegetarians. You can add to it in so many different ways. Try this Mushroom Risotto recipe, for example! - Orange Maple Glazed Salmon
Many places have salmon on their menu. Adding an orange maple glaze gives it that fall/winter feel. It also makes it a little trendier and brings your salmon option to the next level. Find a recipe for Orange Maple Glazed Salmon in the current Martin Bros. Dish! magazine. - Prime Rib...With a Little Extra
Prime rib is always a great menu item, especially during the holiday season. However, by adding crusting or topping options to your prime rib this time of year, it gives it that special holiday touch. It's also a great way to offer added flavor and increase guest checks. You can find four different crusting and topping ideas for prime rib in the current Martin Bros. Dish! magazine. - Pumpkin Pie
What’s more Thanksgiving and Fall than pumpkin? And many people love the traditional Pumpkin Pie, so that's great to have on your holiday menu. But can we also add something else that's really fun and takes a page (or a slice, rather) from the pumpkin pie? Try this Extreme Pumpkin Pie Shake! It's fun, shareable and a great option for a fall and holiday dessert!
