But while we are figuring that out, come see us on Sunday from 11am to 3pm at Off The Grid at Marin Country Mart in Larkspur.

2014 San Rafael Twilight Criterium

Drums & Crumbs had a front row view to the 2014 San Rafael Twilight Criterium this past weekend. We set up our tent next to Strike Brewing Co. and sold our favorite Fried Chicken Sandwich with sides of Baked Mac & Cheese and Fresh Mixed Greens. To finish it off, we had our Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie, which was so popular, we’ve started selling it at the Tuesday night farmer’s market as well.

In addition to our tent, we also had the honor of catering the VIP “Twilight Club.” Those guest were treated to a choice of Arthur’s Fried Chicken with Baked Mac & Cheese, Fresh Mixed Greens and Buttermilk Biscuits or a box of Baked Mac & Cheese, Spicy Black Eyed Peas, Fresh Mixed Greens and a gluten-free Corn Muffin.

We couldn’t have had a more exciting street debut in San Rafael. We are glad we could introduce Drums & Crumbs to so many new people.

The Drums & Crumbs Farmer’s Market Team

Drums & Crumbs is excited to be a part of the Valley of the Moon Certified Farmer’s Market held every Tuesday evening through the summer. We don’t have our food truck yet (soon!), so we have a stall set up on the west side of the horseshoe next to Napa Street. Although the market officially starts at 5:30pm, our dinner service starts at 5:45pm.

Our first week at the market was a little hectic for us. The Sonoma community and beyond was out in full force, and it was our first time selling at a farmer’s market. Our menu for the first night was Arthur’s Fried Chicken, Baked Mac & Cheese, Carolina Coleslaw and Buttermilk Biscuits. The Drums & Crumbs team — Arthur, Rachel, Tess and Wes — held it together that night, and we were amazed at how fast we sold out of food! It was a true privilege meeting so many new faces and receiving such positive feedback about the food.

The next week we came back with even MORE fried chicken, as well as our Slightly Sweet Iced Tea and Rachel’s Fresh Strawberry Cobbler. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and again the market was packed! We were again overwhelmed by the number of people who had heard about Drums & Crumbs and wanted to try our food.

If you stopped by the booth and were unable to try our fried chicken, we are working hard to figure out a way to have more available in light of the strict time constraints the market has for set up. Once the truck arrives, we’ll be able to keep up with the overwhelming demand for our food.

We are honored that so many people would hang out with us and wait for the final batches of chicken to come out of the fryer. We love getting to know the people in our Sonoma community, as well as those of you who drive in from out of town! We’ll be back next week (and every week until September) with more southern treats for you to try.

If you want to have some Drums & Crumbs fried chicken for dinner, come early! Dinner service begins at 5:45pm.

All set up for our first market!

Truly a community event

Thanks everyone!

It’s worth the wait… we promise!

Thank you to everyone who came to our Sonoma Southern Supper, a one-night-only pop-up dinner held last week at Barking Dog Roasters in Sonoma!

We had two seatings that evening: 6pm and 8pm, and also offered take-out. While guests waited for their food and made new friends, they were serenaded by Sonoma’s own Dan Martin.

Our menu featured Arthur’s Fried Chicken, Baked Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, White Cheddar Grits, Spicy Black Eyed Peas, Fresh Mixed Greens, Buttermilk Biscuits, Corn Muffins and Rachel’s Fresh Strawberry Cobbler!

We are grateful for the Barking Dog, Dan Martin, Oz Robledo (who took all of the photos featured below), our wonderful staff and everyone who joined us for the wonderful evening. Thank you!

All set up and ready for dinner!

This month, we are excited to offer a few new additions to the menu at the cafe. In the morning, we have Pumpkin Pecan Coffee Cake to go with our Barking Dog French press coffee and Mighty Leaf hot tea.

For lunch, we have Grandmother’s Chicken & Dumplings made the way Rachel’s grandmother and GREAT grandmother made them. It is a classic Southern dish, so be sure to come try it while it lasts!

Last month we added fresh organic mixed greens with apple cider vinaigrette to our regular list of sides, and this month we are adding one more: Spicy Black Eyed Peas. This new vegan side is perfect for our Veggie Plate: your choice of three sides plus a homemade buttermilk biscuit.

As always, we have our full menu of Arthur’s Fried Chicken, Baked Mac & Cheese, Southern-Style Vegan Collard Greens and Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits. We also still have our Fried Chicken Salad and our Southern-Style Tofu Salad, both served with our homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing.

Come visit us at the pop-up cafe at 1115 3rd St. in downtown San Rafael. We are there every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9am to 2:30pm. Hope to see you there!

There will be live music during dinner service and an art exhibit by a local artist to peruse before or after.
