Thanksgiving Dinner often asks us to dig deep into old family recipes or call upon our (often rusty) kitchen skills. You know you can nail Aunt Bea’s stuffing,
but can’t bake a pie to save your life.

Therein lies the niche of the A La Carte Thanksgiving Catering Menu offered this year at Southport Grocery & Cafe. Do-It-Yourself…as little or as much as you like.

Get a leg up in the kitchen with Urban Accents Gourmet Gobbler Kit ($16.00) or Gravy Goodness Mix ($4.95). Not quite sure what to do with a turkey baster?
We have whole oven-roasted, free-range turkeys, 10lbs. serves 6-8 ($60.00) or 14lbs. serves 8-10 ($75.00).

We all know side dishes are essential to Turkey Day. We offer a host of sides to mix and match with your own from sage-sausage stuffing ($15 small / $30 large) to
honey & herb braised carrots ($12 small / $24 large).

Whether it’s baking mixes from Barefoot Contessa or our own homemade pies, we can help you do-it-yourself. Just don’t ask us to do the dishes… You’re on your own there!

If we determined seasons solely by the weather, we might have to agree that Autumn came and went last week. All of a sudden it is Winter! However, the fact remains, that there are still
3 weeks until the last Fall holiday, Thanksgiving. That gives you plenty of time to try the New Fall Menu at Southport Grocery & Cafe.

For breakfast our menu takes a turn toward comfort. The Brisket & Gravy smothers house-smoked brisket gravy over a homemade biscuit and beneath fried eggs. Keeps you warm on cold Winter (read: Autumn) mornings.

As long as the leaves have fallen from the trees, it’s okay to eat gravy for breakfast!

When it’s cold outside, tuna salad doesn’t quite cut it. A Tuna Melt made with pan-seared albacore tuna sure does. Served straight from the oven and seaped with roasted red
pepper, green olive aioli & local butterkasse cheese, this delightful sandwich melts in your mouth.

What’s fresh? What’s local? These are the 2 main questions driving the changes in our seasonal menus. Whether it’s fresh root vegetables in our new Chop Salad
or local apples in our new Stuffed French Toast, it’s all Fall Menu fodder…

…even if it feels like Winter outside.

Two winners have been picked for our special cupcake promotion…Terri Doyle and Laura Eckhardt both won one dozen cupcakes.  Terri shared them with her friend that brought her to Southport Grocery, while Laura  and her husband decided to eat them all themselves…no, not all on one day!!
