From the Fyr 2.5.2026

A quick heads up and two very good reasons to pay attention. We are hosting another Farm Supper on February 21st, and tickets are still available. This one is a cozy winter favorite featuring wood fired pork cassoulet, roasted potatoes, fresh salad, and plenty of sourdough. It is shaping up to be a really special night, so grab your seats now before they are gone.

And we are also so excited to share that Fyr and Salt officially has an outpost at Hydrangea Home Store. You can now find a curated selection of our offerings there, bringing a little Fyr and Salt energy to Northport. We could not be happier to partner with such a beautiful space and share our food with even more of the community.

Dishin’ On the Cafe: This week’s menu is doing a little traveling!  Bold, savory, slightly funky in the best way, and still deeply comforting. Think cozy classics with a twist, big flavor payoff, and food that actually keeps you full. Still running on full BDE (Big Delicious Energy) and very much here to make lunch the highlight of your day. Cold days call for hot food and zero decision fatigue. We’ve got you.

As always, BDE starts at the source. Farm eggs, thoughtfully raised meats, and as much produce as we can pull straight from the fields at 8 Hands Farm in Cutchogue, NY, the very farm we operate out of and get to cook from every single day. All of our sauces, mayos, and dressings are made from scratch using farm eggs, no seed oils, and carefully chosen flavors that actually belong on the plate. Behind every meal is a whole lot of early mornings, long days, dirty hands, and people who care deeply about growing and raising food the right way. No shortcuts. No weird ingredients. Just really good, real food.

Egg Sandwich Farm eggs stacked with rich pork shanks, our house-fermented tangy spicy kimchi, sharp cheddar, and our own miso mayo bringing it all together. Savory, funky, deeply satisfying, and absolutely not a boring breakfast-for-lunch situation.

Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese Creamy tomato soup paired with crispy, golden grilled cheddar and finished with bacon scraps because we love you and we know that if bacon continues to show up when we need it most, we find cold-weather comfort at its peak.

Pulled Pork Sandwich Slow-cooked pulled pork piled onto housemade sourdough schiacciata, topped with crisp cabbage slaw and our pickles for that perfect balance of rich, tangy, and crunchy. Messy in the right way and very hard to stop eating.

Tacos Chorizo and beef, crisp cabbage slaw, cotija. Bold, savory, a little spicy, and fully worth whatever drips onto your hands. Three perfect tacos coming right up. Exactly as intended.

Roast Beef Sandwich Tender roast beef layered with cheddar, peppery arugula, pickled onion, and horseradish bringing just the right bite. Classic, balanced, and quietly one of those sandwiches that never lets you down.

Cuban Sandwich Chef’s Kiss of the Week Ham, havarti, pickles, and mustard pressed together into something greater than the sum of its parts. Salty, tangy, melty, and nostalgic in all the right ways. A true crowd-pleaser.

However your week’s going, there’s good food waiting for you here. Swing by, warm up with a hot drink (or bone broth), catch up with a friend, and let us handle feeding you properly.

Super Bowl Weekend at the Market or as I’m calling it: Tacos, Chips, and Feeding a Crowd Without Losing Your Mind

If there is one thing my family is fully leaning into right now, it is our any-variation-of-tacos era. Super Bowl weekend or not, this is how we eat most weeks because it works. You make one flavorful, Mexican-inspired protein, add legumes, put everything on the table, and let people build their plates the way they actually want to eat. Different ages, different preferences, same meal. It is not a restaurant (although my 9-year-old loves to point out “it kind of is…”, but it is flexible, nourishing, and honestly kind of fun.

And just a little reminder. Events like this do not have to be about gorging on food that makes everyone feel terrible the next day. We here at Fyr and Salt believe you can celebrate, snack, and feed a crowd really well without sacrificing quality. That is exactly why we make high-quality options for you using meat from the farm and as many local and organic ingredients as possible. Real food still gets to be fun food.

This week, we are giving some well deserved attention to our chips situation because it is strong. Yes, you read that right – chips. The tallow Masa Chips are made the traditional way using real organic corn and cooked in grass fed tallow, giving them rich flavor and a sturdy crunch that actually holds up to dips, nachos, and serious Super Bowl snacking. Alongside them, we are also loving the tallow cooked organic potato chips from Vandy’s Crisps. Simple organic potatoes, grass fed tallow, and salt. That’s it. No seed oils, no fillers, no weird extras.

Both of these options are deeply satisfying and the kind of chips that remind you snack food can still be real food, made with intention and ingredients that actually do something for you. Actually, their recipes are really inspiring! Who would’ve considered potato chips in such an elegant way?!

They also pair perfectly with how we are cooking right now.

Why Legumes Are Always on Our Table

Whenever we make tacos, bowls, enchiladas, or nachos, we always include beans or lentils. Partly because they stretch meals beautifully and inexpensively, but also because most Americans simply do not eat enough legumes. Beans are one of the most nutrient-dense foods we can eat. They are rich in fiber, plant-based protein, iron, magnesium, and resistant starch, which supports gut health, blood sugar balance, and long-lasting energy. Pairing legumes with grains or tortillas creates a complete protein, which means they are doing real nutritional work for your body.

We are lucky to carry incredible options from Maine Grains and Rancho Gordo, which means the beans on your plate are just as thoughtfully sourced as everything else in the market.

How This Looks in Real Life

On a typical taco night in our house, we make one main protein. Beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish, or a mix depending on the week and allergies. Then we add a pot of beans or lentils, some rice, and whatever else we have hanging out in the fridge.

This is where the magic happens.

• Quesadillas 

•  Tacos or burritos

• Bowls with rice and beans

• Enchiladas 

• Nachos

• Snacks for later

Same food. Different plates. Zero complaints.

Random Fridge Trash That Always Works

This is where you get to clean out the fridge and make it look intentional.

• Pickled onions from the market

• Leftover roasted vegetables like diced sweet potatoes or carrots

• Frozen or canned corn

• Hot sauce or chili crisp

•  Yogurt instead of sour cream for more protein and fermentation

•  Cilantro

• Guacamole or chopped avocado

• Chopped mango because kids love it

• Rice or leftover grains

• Chopped romaine or any greens really

• Cabbage

• Kraut (such a favorite of mine on mexican dishes)

• Limes, tomatoes, cheese obviously, etc.

I once had my kid’s pediatrician tell me - “ Never make meals a battle. Offer healthy options. Put them out and walk away.”

Put it all out. Let everyone choose. Leftovers turn into lunches and snacks for days.

Super Bowl Ideas Using the Market

If you are feeding a crowd this weekend, here are some easy, low-stress ways to build out a Super Bowl spread using what we have in the market right now. Mix and match, lean into leftovers, and let the table do the work.

Nachos Start with the tallow masa tortilla chips and layer with chili, beans, beef, pork, or chicken, then plenty of cheese and spices. Bake until melty and finish with pickled onions, yogurt, hot sauce, scallions, or a drizzle of HCO chili crisp. These hold up beautifully and actually feel like food.

Chili and Chili Dip Situation Serve a big pot of chili with all the toppings, or turn it into a full-on dip with sour cream, melted cheese, and scallions. Great with tortilla chips, spooned over baked potatoes, or piled onto toast for an easy win.

Wings Dry-rubbed wings that are crisp, savory, and perfect as-is, or paired with whatever sauce or dip you love. These are a classic for a reason and always disappear fast.

Gochujang Honey Ribs One pound of deeply flavorful ribs that are bold, sticky, and meant to be eaten with your hands. Add a simple slaw or some pickles on the side and let them shine.

Spinach Dip and Smoked Buffalo Turkey Dip Two crowd favorites that cover all the bases. Creamy, savory spinach dip and smoky, bold buffalo turkey dip. Serve with tortilla chips, bread, or veggies and watch both vanish.

Sausage Rolls Think PBE (Pigs in Blanket Energy), but without the food hangover. When have you ever had high quality versions of these babies? Flaky, savory, and incredibly satisfying. These are perfect for grazing and easy to reheat if needed. A great option when you want something hearty without committing to a full plate.

Bolognese Yes, even for Super Bowl weekend. Spoon it onto toasted bread, serve it as a dip with chips, or keep it warm for anyone who wants something comforting and filling between snacks.

VEGAN Broccoli Cheddar SoupYeah, that’s right. Get it here! Creamy, cozy, and VEGAN.  Perfect with bread, or even a small bowl alongside the snack spread for anyone craving something warm.

Build a Board Tortilla chips, dips, ribs, wings, sausage rolls, pickled vegetables, cheese, and leftover proteins. This is one of the easiest ways to feed people without hovering in the kitchen all night. We even sell the boards!

Dairy Free and Gluten Free Options That Everyone Loves

If you are feeding folks who are dairy free or gluten free, or you just want a few lighter options on the table, I always turn to a couple of favorites from Paleo Running Momma.

Her cashew-based spinach artichoke dip is a staple around here. It is creamy, rich, and absolutely no one ever guesses it is dairy free. It disappears every time.

The buffalo chicken dip made with coconut cream is another big win, especially with kids. It is flavorful without being overwhelming and pairs perfectly with the tallow masa chips or fresh veggies for dipping.
