Show 525, May 13, 2023: Executive Chef and Partner Chris Feldmeier, Bar Moruno, Silver Lake

Chris Feldmeier of Bar Moruno

Owner Executive Chef Chris Feldmeier at Bar Moruno in Silver Lake has recently introduced a Saturday Brunch and a Sunday Roast menu. We get the tempting specifics directly from Chef Chris.

“The Sunday Roast is a set menu of a main protein and two sides (sometimes three) for $75 that very generously feeds two and can definitely satisfy two adults and a child. Sunday May 14th is Rotisserie Pastrami Short Rib with Rye Flatbread, Sauerkraut, Pickles and Macaroni Salad.”

Chef Chris’ Saturday Brunch menu (available from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) is inspired by menu items from Bar Moruno’s signature woodfired oven. Consider a wood-oven baked Hoe Cake which is presented in its own little cast iron skillet and Shakshouka made with organic eggs, roasted tomato, onion and piquillo peppers.

Included on the new Brunch menu are colorful libations. How about Chef Chris’ Bull Shot with vodka, sherry and beef bone broth? Also there is a “Nitro Negroni which fulfills one of the eight cups of coffee a serious caffeine person might have on a typical Saturday.”
