The lentil salad is taste-and-texturally complex, topped with pickled bread and butter turnips, a bold move that pays off. They’ve got crazy chemistry.Īs for sides, lentil salad, roasted vegetables, beets and at Patina Green, Lyford’s take on coleslaw happen to have been made that day.
It’s perfect for dipping into the steaming hot tomato bisque. It’s how soft and unashamedly spongy it is with a light crunchy crust. What’s spectacular isn’t how oven-fresh warm it is on arrival, or its balanced flavor. The focaccia’s herby crust soaks in oil, red pepper, garlic and dill. Garlic Herb Focaccia and Tomato Bisque with sweet corn both reside on the “other stuff” menu and they’re meant to be together. In fact, don’t miss the tip jar at the counter, which supports the Farm Aid organization. Every salsa or mayonnaise gets stirred up from scratch, if not by him then by someone he knows, including one whose label warns “uncomfortably hot.” Storebought is a dirty word instead all is from local farms and bakeries. There are only five sandwiches available each day, based on what his suppliers deliver that morning, or what he has pickled himself the way picklers have been pickling things for centuries. Colorful salads arrive in to-go containers sandwiches are fired upon ordering and wrapped up in paper. Lyford is usually found behind the counter whipping up sandwiches, sides and cookies with the rest of the staff underneath shelves stacked with pickled vegetables that he’s preserved himself. Then Food Network popped in for a visit, declared a certain sandwich the best in Texas (we’ll get to that) and Patina Green went, as the kids say, viral. After six years of customers shopping and eating, or eating and shopping, half of Patina Green is a designated dining area. In the market’s early days, Chef Lyford, who specializes in vegetables and grew up on San Francisco sandwiches, created a to-go lunch menu. The three owners are retailer and mother Luann Van Winckel, interior designer Kaci Lyford and her husband, Robert Lyford, also known as Patina Green’s market chef.
Reverence for individuality is in the air, a bird theme feathers delicately throughout and faith rests in the simple notion that true quality is timeless. Everything, antique cutting boards on up, is temporary decoration, meant to move into homes and lives. Local treasures take up residence among one-of-a kind antiques such as a breathtaking arbor in the center of the dining area. Downtown McKinney is home to Patina Green Home & Market, a beautiful family-owned antique store and sandwich shop.
