Beer Battered Veggies

Local Food: Vegetables, coated in beer batter made with Switchback Ale, and lightly fried. Steven's winter twist features root vegetables - onions, rutabagas, parsnips, and carrots. You'll also find sunchokes, the uniquely nutty and slightly sweet tuber with a texture similar to that of water chestnuts. Dip each crispy morsel in our garlicky aioli, and this appetizer is great as a bar snack to complement a pint or cocktail while watching the Olympics, or as the introduction to a delicious dinner.
