We take pride in the
fact that everyone who comes to GEEKS tells us what a good time they
had dining with us. 
Some of our more regular dinner guests have favorite dishes that aren't
on the regular menu. It might be an entree they had when we offered
it at some time as one of our "Chef's Choices",
or one that we prepared for a catered event that they attended.
Folks have discovered
that when the Noodle of the day is Strudela, for example, they can order
Chicken Vandeberg. Some ask if we have Dried Tomatoes on hand, and
when we do (we dry our own), they order the Chicken w/Dried Tomatoes and
Garlic Sauce.
Recently, we had a Dinner
Guest who was surprised that Chicken Cordon Bleu was no longer on the menu.
Dianna told her that if she had let us know a few days in advance that
she was coming, and wanted Chicken Cordon Bleu, (or Kiev, for that matter),
Charlie would have obtained the necessary provisions. We're happy to honor
special requests when we can, and we have all the ingredients on hand.
For more labor intensive dishes, we appreciate an advance order so that
Chef Charlie can prep the dish before we open.
Other Guests have favorite
Chef's Choices that require a bulk preparation like Braciole, or a long
lead-time, including our Homemade Pastrami and Sauerbraten.
If you're one of them,
you have two options:
-
Find a total of at least
six folks (8 for some entrees) who'd like the dish on the same night. It
could be one group, or multiple parties arriving at different times.
Reservations are required for this, and lead times depend on the entree.
-
Request it as a Chef's Choice.
If we think there will be sufficient interest, we'll put it on an upcoming
Chef's Choice Menu, and let you know when it will be served.
We've listed a few of the
more popular items on the right, and indicated what the constraints are.
Some are available most of the time, others require advance notice, and
still others have minimum order levels. We think offerings like this make
GEEKS a truly unique restaurant! It's like a mini Catered Event or
Dinner Party. |

Menu Items Generally
Available
Keep in mind that one
of the reasons all of these are not on the regular menu all is due to the
space and time limitations in the kitchen. If you haven't already read
it, you might want to look at the Chef's Perspective.
The availability of these choices depends on how busy we are, and what
the workload is like at the time you order. In general, they are options
for small groups of 4 or fewer.
