Great Taste

PIG IN A POKE: Gift bags for the barbecue guests were hand stamped with a smooching pair of pigs.

ALE’S WELL: “We may have served beer, but it was good beer,” laughs Jeremiah.

SHARE ALIKE: Passed dishes on the restaurant’s back patio set a laid-back tone for the weekend.

SERVICE WITH A SMILE: Servers like Jeremiah’s longtime coworker Jessica were part of the night’s extended family.

WHAT A DISH: The restaurant’s rustic Le Creuset serving dishes suited the relaxed affair.

SEALED WITH A KISS: The happy couple sneaked a smooch amid family and friends.

BOUNTY: Fresh Atlantic flounder and island produce introduced guests to The Macintosh’s flare with flavor.

BUCKET LIST: To keep with the relaxed vibe, the couple served Kono wine that was iced down in galvanized buckets.

FEELING PUNCHY: The Cocktail Club concocted a signature drink for the couple, and served it family-style from an old-fashioned punch bowl.

LETTUCE ENTERTAIN YOU: Since the restaurant had an abundance of leftover bread from the previous night’s service, a panzanella salad (loaded with chunks of bread) was added to the menu at the last minute. Liz says it became her new favorite dish.

WHOLE GRAIN GOODNESS: Since hot dishes, like this one of warm faro, were passed among guests, large serving napkins stood in for pot holders.

FINE SWINE: Since many of the guests hadn’t yet dined at the couple’s restaurant, menu favorites like the roasted pork shoulder gave them a taste of what has put The Macintosh on the culinary map

TOASTY NIGHT: Though the affair was mellow, the couple still toasted with proper champagne flutes.

DOG DAYS: Dottie, the couple’s beloved pooch (and engagement ring bearer and junior bridesmaid) joined Jeremiah and Liz on their actual Big Day.
