Snickerdoodle Cocktail

DISTRICT AMERICAN KITCHEN & WINE BAR CHEFS CREATE FLAVORFUL AND COMFORTING AUTUMNAL SELECTIONS WITH SUPER SWEET TREATS

Featuring savory starters, a hearty new entrée, and sinfully scrumptious sweets

WHAT: It’s officially fall and the chefs at District American Kitchen & Wine Bar are warming up the kitchen in preparation to debut the restaurant’s fall menu. Boasting a selection of flavorful autumnal ingredients, the new menu will arouse your senses with invigorating aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, burnt maple, chocolate, hazelnut, and even sage. Tantalize your taste buds with American comfort foods served in unique combinations and delicious twists all from the chefs’ inspirations.

“The cooler weather represents a time when we embrace heartier meals and ingredients to comfort and warm the soul,” said Chef de Cuisine Jay Bogsinske. “The fall harvest found in the restaurant’s garden at Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel provides an array of culinary elements that opens a variety of untapped gastronomic avenues. Each season brings new garden ingredients and culinary opportunities to explore as we unite efforts with local producers and partners, such as Schreiner’s and Singh Farms.”

Schreiner's Wrapped Dates

Begin your dining experience at District American Kitchen & Wine Bar with Schreiner’s Bacon Wrapped Dates, a savory starter of five dates stuffed with an über rich sweetness of chive cream cheese and Vermont maple syrup. For only $8, this tempting appetizer will lure you back again and again!

Griddled pork shoulder

Then try a hearty new entrée, Griddled Pork Shoulder, created by Bogsinske. This dish is served with savory baked beans, burnt maple marshmallow, and fried garden sage. As a specialty to the fall menu, it’s priced at a very reasonable $22 and certainly plentiful for any palate!

To top off the evening, a sinfully scrumptious Snickerdoodle Cocktail is the perfect sweet treat. Hazelnut rum serves as the foundation as cinnamon and sugar garnish the rim. Add a dollop of whip cream with cinnamon sprinkles to the top and adorn this cool concoction with a slim cinnamon stick. Say no more – this $8 liquid dessert is the desired desert drink for fall!

The new fall menu selections debut in early November and will be available throughout the holiday season. Complimentary three-hour parking validation is available with an entrée.
