The fig ravioli, in particular, has been getting the star treatment:  Sweet figs stuffed into ravioli and topped with a savory bleu cheese sauce hits just the right notes for fall.

To make your own Bleu Cheese sauce at home is very simple:

1. Reduce heavy cream until it coats the back of a spoon.
2. Add Bleu Cheese on low heat.
3. Salt and pepper to taste.

And that’s it!  Just pour over fresh or frozen ravioli for an indulgent dinner.

This year’s theme for Restaurant Week is “A Moveable Feast” based on the book by iconic American author Ernest Hemingway.  From November 8^th – 17^th twelve local restaurants will be participating in our own Moveable Feast with the help of a restaurant week passport.  The Passport serves as your guide through all the local eateries in Somers Points (us included, of course) AND it serves as your entry to win a $100 Visa Gift Card!  As you feast your way through Somers Point, collect stamps at each restaurant you visit.  The more stamps you collect, the more chances you’ll have to win!  The Passport is available at participating restaurants during Restaurant Week.
