Papillion Interview: Brittany Love of Pine and Black Bistro, Part Two-The Food!

Papillion Businesses Interview with Pine and Black Bistro’s General Manager, Brittany Love

Brittany describes these wonderful dishes:

Pine and Black Bistro’s Sea Bass Entree

This one is our sea bass. It has just a little like blackening seasoning on the sea bass. It has a lemon grass rice, a passion fruit salsa, fresh blueberries with a micro blend of microgreens that are from Flavor Country Farms. And then grilled asparagus on the side.

And then we have our Crying Tiger, which is a marinated flank steak. That’s going to be from Morgan Ranch with the jasmine rice, house made kimchi, cucumbers and then a fiery jaew sauce which is our spicy sauce that I suggest all over the plate, but to each their own.

This were both extremely good but it’s the Sea Bass dish is the one that I’ve been craving…Have to go back…Soon!

Papillion Event: Pączki Day Party, 11 February

Don’t miss Pączki Day!! It’s time for the annual event across the country to celebrate Mardi Gras but Polish style.

Pączki is pronounced “punch key” and is the plural of pączek which is pronounced “punch ek”.

Still wondering what it is? It’s a fantastic fried donut with fruit filling and drenched in sugar.

Enjoy these sugary fruit filled Polish donuts on Sunday 11 February from  Noon – 3 PM.

This Papillion event will have these special treats before the Lenten fasts begins.  Traditionally, these are eaten and enjoyed on Fat Tuesday, the last day for such indulgences for many. The Wednesday after is called Ash Wednesday and begins Lent for many Christians.

Don’t miss out on this and other Polish foods including:
Pierogi
Sausage
Cabbage Rolls
Potato Soup

Pączki Fillings:
Raspberry
Bavarian Cream
Lemon

Bring cash or use their ATM.
