new spaces together,” says Andrea. The expanded kitchen enables the Cafe to offer a broader selection of signature entrees and appetizers, while also keeping customer favorites such as the Ham and Pimiento cheese sandwich. “That’s just something we couldn’t take off our menu,” she says.
BridgeHouse Café was the winner of the Advocates for Children Christmas Cookie Competition. Their cookie was a Sea Salt Turtle cookie which was chock-full of chocolate chips, caramel, pecans, and pretzels.
“We took a traditional Turtle concept of chocolate, pecans and caramel and made a loaded cookie with it. The base had the chocolate chips and pecans, a Rolo in the middle for caramel, and pretzels on the outside. Immediately after coming out of the oven, French sea salt was lightly sprinkled on top,” Andrea describes.
