Quintessential grandparents

Nana and Pampoo were the quintessential grandparents.  A visit to their home was not complete without a meal from Nana’s Kitchen.  The aromas from her kitchen left your mouth watering in anticipating the food she was preparing

No one left her table hungry and everyone's appetites were satisfied.  The food she served her guests began with its growing; most things were homegrown, if not by Nana and Pampoo then by friends, neighbors, or from the many road side stands near their home.  Fresh was the first ingredient she required, the second was wholesome, and the third was love. 

Her meals were a measure of her love for what she was doing.  From the growing to the picking and the preparation of the food from her kitchen she paid attention to every detail.  Her philosophy was that whatever she prepared always carried a measure of her love and that love kept her family and friends in good health.

Nana’s Kitchen today is a tribute to and in memory of these very special grandparents, Frances and Kendall Sprague.  The food we serve today is always fresh, prepared with a sense of pride, and, as with Nana a good measure of love.

We live in a much faster paced and busy world than the one Nana came from.  Our philosophy resembles hers in that we believe taking time and paying attention to every detail are what makes the food we serve mouthwateringly delicious.

Like a good farm kitchen we present our guests with simple choices for a simply good, wholesome, and healthy meal.  Our specialty is chicken.  Nana’s chicken was often fried.  Today we oven roast our chicken in a special prepared batter that reduces the fats of fried food but lets you taste the flavor of chicken “done right”. 

The majority of our food is prepared in ovens; from the chicken to the Swiss steak and the ham.  Our famous rough smashed potatoes are baked and then mashed with the skins on in butter and milk.  Our vegetables are fresh and come to the table with no processing other than cooking.  All of the food that we prepare is like Nana’s home cooking and served fresh each day.

Our famous deserts may push the limits of healthy eating but they are delicious beyond compare.  Nana’s fresh peach, apple, and cherry pies are made from her recipes.  Her red cake was renowned among her family and friends and we make ours from her time honored and proven recipe.  

After you finish your meal and are heading out you might like to purchase a dozen of her toll house cookies to take with you so the memory of dinner from Nana’s Kitchen continues on into your home.

Bon Jour and Bon Appétit
