It's just too bad that you can't get this dish seven days a week. When I saw my friend order it a couple days ago I stared in amazement at the beautiful dish. I don't think I had ever seen anything so visually appetizing... that was also healthy. Even though I had a much-anticipated meal sitting before me I could not help but inquire about the different fruits, grains, etc.
Then I went as far as to send Roo Buckley, Chef/Owner of Coda Restaurant a request for information regarding the ingredients and where they come from. I also wanted some added info on their flavored butters and addictive coffee. He was kind enough to reply:
The Yougurt and Granola is made with Guercio’s Blend of Granola, the best I’ve found.
Yogurt is usually Upstate Farms.
This picture shows Bartlett Pears, Bananas, Granny Smith Apples, and Strawberries.
Drizzled with a little bit of Apple Blossom Honey from the Court Street Farmer’s Market, no label, no producer, just from one of the farmer’s. I buy in bulk at the end of the season so that I have a supply for the winter months.
Fruit differs from week to week, depending on what’s the best looking and best tasting.
The Price is $6.00.
Coffee comes from McCullagh, and is a blend of Illy Fine Ground and McCullagh’s House Blend.
Bread for Brunch comes from Wegman’s, Multigrain Loaf with Currants, Whole Grain, and Oat and Honey Dark Grain.
Flavored Butters are in rotation, today’s selection was Sour Cherry (Canadian) and Schoenhauer Apfel Schnapps, and Brandied Black Currant.
We’ve got about three weeks left on this rotation and then we start a new one. Brett is talking about a Brandy Maple Butter, and a Poached Pear Butter. -Roo
Wow, and that's just for Coda's yougurt and granola bowl. And even though there is no photo of the coffee or the provided butter scoops, I must say that Coda's coffee and their flavored butters are half the reason to go! I don't know... I'm sure that the Sunday morning atmosphere (in the Kleinhans neighborhood) is a big part of it too.
