The Roanoker - January/February 2015 - 108
Local Roots' Herbed Spaetzle with Roasted Mushrooms and Beets is part of Sunday Supper.
Roanoke and New River Valley. It doesn't rest
on its well-earned and time-tested laurels, but
instead, with Chef Webb at the helm, chooses
to continually innovate and nudge diners to
branch out from the norm. In that sense, it's
the perfect date night restaurant - a little edgy
but familiar all the same, elegant but not uncomfortably so.

SUNDAY SUPPER AT LOCAL
ROOTS
Once upon a time, America celebrated "Sunday Supper," at late afternoon or early evening with the entire family's presence being
the hallmark - a time to catch up and linger
over a large home cooked spread, and give
thanks for each other and the week. But, unfortunately, at some point during the past few
decades it largely disappeared.
With this in mind, Diane Elliot, owner
of Local Roots, decided to grab the proverbial bull by the horns and reintroduce the
concept to Roanoke in an easier to digest
fashion. Arguably the best fine dining offer
in town, Local Roots' Sunday Suppers occur
weekly and allow diners to experience locally
sourced comfort cuisine for only $18 per person (courses include a shared salad for the
table, an individual entrée, and a selection
of two sides for the table to split) - a steal,
considering the quality and quantity of food,
let alone service.
A bit less haute than their typical menu,
each Sunday Supper (diners can arrive at
any point between 5 and 9 pm) begins with
a large, locally sourced salad composed of
an array of lettuces, baby chard and kale, or
other tender greens, along with whatever else
is fresh and good that day - shaved carrots,
fresh fruit, nuts, or edible flowers. With the
vinaigrette served on the side, it's easy for
each diner (family member, date or friend),
to compose his or her own salad to-taste,
though with offerings like strawberry balsamic or fresh herb vinaigrette, you'd be hard
pressed to skimp on the dressing.
Lunch & Dinner
An everyday culinary experience.
