Restaurateur and St. Francis founder Aaron Chamberlin revealed a new summer lunch menu, featuring the summer’s brightest and most flavorful local vegetables.
These new menu items are light but packed with lots of flavor. Chef Aaron seems to have found the perfect balance of satisfying, but not heavy.
Some of our favorite dishes were:
Carrot Ginger Soup – A savory, vitamin-packed soup made from roasted local carrots, fresh ginger and crème fraiche.
Wood Roasted Summer Squash – A variety of colorful, oven-roasted baby squash topped with roasted red pepper and romesco sauce, local goat cheese and toasted almonds.
Heirloom Tomato – Local tomatoes, cucumbers and shaved red onion atop California burrata cheese, crostini, and drizzled with red wine vinaigrette. (this would be Aaron’s favorite!)
St. Francis, a modern yet comfortable family-owned restaurant, is located at Central Avenue and Camelback Road in uptown Phoenix.
