BEER-B-QUE BEEF SANDWICH ……………………..$9

Beef coated in our Smoked Java Cinnamon Rub cooked low & slow until falling apart. Piled high with pickled onions & Oh…A Beer BBQ sauce made with our Rocket To Russia Imperial Stout.

SMOKED COFFEE ICE CREAM ……………..$5 for 8oz.

Much healthier than coffee & cigarette & 10 times as satisfying.

THE FULL MONTY ………………………………………$20

A sandwich so wrong it is right! Pork, Brisket, Turkey, Trashcan Chili, BBQ beans, Smoked Mac & Cheese & your choice of slaw wrapped in 2 tortillas. It’s a 3 pound monster! There’s no prize for eating it – recommended for 2 – 4 average eaters.

We also have a bit of Pig Candy, ReinCow Pie Ice Cream, White Trash Ice Cream & Bacon Sugar Cookies left.

This is only HALF of The Full Monty

We’ve just done a Test Kitchen for our New Year’s Eve Special: MOINK Balls. All beef meat balls (no filler – just worcestshire & house rub) wrapped in bacon dusted in All You Need Is Rub (the Cha Cha Hut house rub) & smoked for 1 1/2 hours. Then glazed with Sweet Lightnin’.

On Saturday August 28, we’re putting the spotlight on locally produced meat & vegetables with a special menu. In addition to our usual BBQ menu, we’ll be featuring menu items made with meat from Sap Bush Hollow & sides created with produce from local farms including Madeline & Tovey’s organic farm in Roxbury & Shaul Farm in Fultonham. We will also be staying open later – until 8pm unless the food sells out – to serve your dinner needs.

As each of these local specials are limited, we suggest calling in advance & we’ll reserve your order.

Loco Local! Picnic! Specials

Sap Bush Hollow Grass Fed Beef Short Ribs ……………………….. 12.00
1/2 lb of chunky beef rib goodness coated in our Cha Cha Java Cinnamon Dust & smoked over local hardwood. Served with your choice of slaw made from local produce.

Sap Bush Hollow Handmade French Garlic Sausage …………….. 10.00
A French sausage made with pork, fresh garlic & red wine. It’s smoked then quickly grilled to crisp it up. Served on a crusty roll with caramelized local onions & a side of slaw made from local produce.

Sap Bush Hollow Grass Fed Beef Tacos …………………………… 10.00
Two tacos made with seasoned steak – grilled & sliced thin – served on flour tortillas with your choice of toppings made from local produce.

SIDES ………………………..small 3.00 / large 5.00
For this special Picnic! – all of our usual sides will be using local produce. We’re also featuring a few special sides for this event:

Cukelear Salad
Here’s a wicked version of a Cucumber Salad. Rather than just a plain old vinegar dressing, we let these cukes marinate in our North Carolina Vinegar Sauces for a few days. The result? A thermocukelear salad. Not for the timid.

Firecracker Slaw
Take our Sweet & Sour Slaw – add some heat in the form of local peppers & hot sauce – the result is the return of Firecracker Slaw. For those who like a little heat in their slaw. Tangy spicy.

Cha Cha Pepper Salad
Think Pico de gallo or salsa fresca or – as one friend of the Hut calls it – “Salsa for Grown Ups”. A fresh chunky mix of tomatoes, peppers, onions & spices. Great as a topping or just eat it as a side. Mildly spicy.

Southern Dill Potato Salad
It’s the return of one of our most popular salads – this time with a completely local produce twist. Red potatoes, sweet onions & celery in a sour cream & dill dressing. A cool side for our hot BBQ. Not spicy.

Sauce of the Moment: Shopsin Facemelter
We’re bringing back this popular Sauce of the Moment for the last two Picnic! events. A blazing hot sauce based concoction with black pepper & cider vinegar. Definitely not for the timid & certainly not for kids. Just plain hot.

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM …………………….. 2.00
(small batch 4 oz servings)

Cinnamon
Made with Vietnamese Cinnamon. Earthy with a small amount of bite.

Better Than Sex
Made using the Better Than Sex tea from Tay Tea in Andes. “A sinfully delicious rooibos blend with bits of Belgian dark chocolate and peppermint. A must for chocoholics, more often than not, this tea deserves it’s name!” The ice cream picks up on the best of these flavors.

Do not forget! We’re also serving our usual BBQ menu as well as these local specials.

Just got back from Sap Bush Hollow & finalized the MEAT for the Loco Local! Picnic! on August 28th. We’re planning to serve:

Grass Fed Beef Short Ribs: coated in our Cha Cha Java Cinnamon Dust & smoked over local hardwood

Pasture Raised Pork Loin: coated in our Cha Cha Dust BBQ Rub, smoked over local hardwood, sliced to order & served with your choice of toppings made from local produce.

Grass Fed Beef Tacos: seasoned London Broil grilled & sliced thin served on flour tortillas with your choice of toppings made from local produce.

French Garlic Sausage en baguette: Yeah – it’s a sausage on a roll but it’s a FRENCH sausage made with fresh garlic & red wine on a CRUSTY roll. Steamed then grilled & topped with local onions & peppers.

On August 28th, we’re pulling out all the stops for this Picnic! In addition to our usual menu of BBQ, we’ll be bringing out the grills & cooking an array of locally produced meats & sides. Plus we’ll be staying open later to serve dinner orders.

The meat is from a variety of local producers including Sap Bush Hollow with produce from local farms including Madeline & Tovey’s organic farm in Roxbury, Shaul Farm in Fultonham & Lucky Dog in Hamden. We’re also looking at using ingredients from Harpersfield Cheese in Jefferson, Tea Thyme Herb in Roxbury & Barber’s Farm in Middleburgh.

Above are pictures of a few of the recent menu tests. Current plan is for the following local meat items:

Sap Bush Hollow grass fed Beef Short Ribs: coated in our Java Cinnamon Dust & smoked over oak & maple.

Grass Fed Flatiron Steak Tacos: marinated in our Tex Mex Marinade & grilled to order over oak & maple. Topped with locally grown greens, onions & tomatoes.

Local Pork Loin Sliders: coated in our Cha Cha Dust & smoked over maple & oak. Piled on a slider bun & topped with a choice of slaws made from local cabbage, carrots, onions & peppers. It’s the ultimate pork slider!

Sap Bush Hollow Sausage Grinders: fresh sausage – grill smoked – on a bun with local peppers & onions.
