PEACOCK AUCTION NOW OPEN FOR BIDDING!
Longman & Eagle announces a peacock egg breakfast auction for two, to benefit the Greater Chicago Food Depository
The L&E is pleased to announce a charitable auctioning of a special menu focusing on Peacock eggs, one conceived by sous chef Vincent Knittel and house mixologist Derek Alexander.
Why peacock eggs? Peacock, or more accurately, peahen eggs aren’t typically consumed – most eggs are fertilized and brought to maturity as the chicks fetch a fair dollar. Peacocks also have a mythological significance throughout the ancient and modern world, from the Greeks to modern day India, where the Peacock is the national bird.
The menu:
A brunch menu for two featuring a Peacock omelet consisting of three eggs, porcini mushrooms, Rupert cheese, ground ramp greens, confited duck leg, summer truffle and fresh clover, accompanied by a salad of Werp Farm greens with fines herbs, pickled ramps, and curry vinaigrette plus batons of battered peacock egg, cardamom and vanilla French Toast and an amuse. This meal will also feature a Demurge cocktail featuring Michter’s Rye Singe Barrel, Tawny port, cherry Heering, fresh lemon sour, bourbon barrel aged bitters and peacock egg white.
We are fortunate enough to have been able to procure a very limited quantity of un-fertilized eggs from a Michigan farmer, George Rasmussen of Swan Creek Farms, with whom we do a fair amount of business. The rarity of these eggs allows us this one time opportunity to auction off a spectacular, over the top brunch experience. The menu accoutrements and produce are going to be locally sourced, seasonal and in line with the flavor profile of the egg itself, which is far richer and more intense than a chicken egg. Werp Farms, another one of our favorite farms, provides some of the very best greens available and these flavors will complement the earthiness of the egg. The flavors of the amuse, French Toast and salad are meant to remind the diner of the peacock’s significance in Indian culture. This is sure to be a once in a lifetime meal for a very lucky and generous bidder.
As wonderful as the food will be, it is ever more gratifying to be able to help those less fortunate, donating the profits here to the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Each day we get to serve amazing drinks and food to our guests, and yet there are folks in our neighborhoods that go without eating. The Greater Chicago Food Depository attempts to alleviate this problem and to be able to assist them in some small way resonates deeply with us.
Auction is open NOW and ends June 02, 2011 03:00 PM .
Winners brunch takes place June 4th, 2011

Pork Soda!
We are excited to release L&E x Goose Island collaborative beer – PORK SODA. Chef Jared Wentworth worked closely with Jared Rouben at Goose island to make this limited release batch of beer. We will tap it on Tuesday Feb 8th as part of our monthly “Night Moves” event series and it will be available paired all night with a Becker Lane Pork Chop, Shrimp & Black Pepper Sauce, Hushpuppies & Bacon Braised Greens for $25 and also by the glass for $8.
This hoppy Belgian Double IPA comes in at 7.5%. brewed w/ huge amounts of Cascade, Simcoe, and Citra hops. Golden in color w/ big bright citrus flavors that balance the Belgian yeast. We really wanted the aromatics to shine so we double dry hopped it with even more Citra and Simcoe hops to get that Juicy tropical fruit & a hint of pine on the nose.
For this months event we will not be selling tickets but the special will be available throughout the night.
