Valentines Day Deets
Posted by Jay on Friday, 12 February 2010
Here’s how we roll on V-Day: full menu (not fixed), no reservations, everything’s the same price it always is, it’s casual, we try to make sure everyone has a good time. Neighborhood restaurant style.
This year it falls on a Sunday, which means we open at 10am and stay open 13.5 hours for your Valentining pleasure. (That’s till 11:30pm).
It’s Smokehouse Sunday, and Max told me he’s going to add some grass-fed Prime Rib to the smokehouse in celebration of it being a luxurious holiday. Also, you can figure we’ll have some oysters on hand. Beyond that, it’ll be another Sunday at the Link.
As for the first-come, first-served factor: we’ve got lots of tables. if I recall correctly, last year we were busy but accommodated everyone with minimal waiting.
Anyway, we like Valentine’s Day, everyone’s out and having fun.

Hi Jay,
My boyfriend and I recently moved from Little Itally to North Park and we already had a change to check out The Linkery, we loved it.
I also have fun reading the newsletters and surfing on the web and blog.
Please let me know when you guys cook Kangaroo, I know it unusual, however I am trying to find a place that cooks it. If you have sometime, read about it on my blog, look for “Kangaroo in Australia…” post. http://www.afterwardbyrenata.blogspot.com/
We will try to come on Valentine’s Day, Prime Rib sounds great.
Cheers,
Renata

Hi Renata,
Thanks for the kind words. We may offer kangaroo again, if we do I’ll let you know. We used to offer it regularly, because at the time it was one of the few wide-ranging, grassfed meats we could get (and delicious).
Then the State of California made it illegal to serve for a brief time, during which the company that supplied the kangaroo stopped importing it.
While it was unavailable, we developed relationships with California farmers raising impeccable beef, lamb and goat on pasture, and that’s been our focus since then. However, we’ve inquried about kangaroo from time to time, thinking about serving it on a lark (not literally, we can’t buy larks either), but it has not yet become available again.
I like it quite a bit, though.

Nice, Jay, whenever you serve it again, I will have a group of friends coming with me. This is the kind of things that we can’t miss.
Cheers, Renata
