Newtown Restaurant Adds 2 Community-Inspired Dishes To Its Menu

NEWTOWN, PA — Two community-inspired dishes have been added to the menu for the month of September at The Temperance House.

The dishes are the winners in a Community Picks contest launched earlier this summer by the historic South State Street restaurant and bar.

“After some delicious deliberation, we are thrilled to announce the two winning dishes that will be featured on our special menu,” announced the restaurant on Facebook.

The winners are:

• Nicole Leilani for her incredible Salmon Cheesesteak with Truffle Fries. The Salmon Cheesesteak: Tender, flaky salmon seared with sautéed onions, spinach, and peppers, smothered in melted Cooper sharp cheese, and served on a toasted roll with our zesty house-made garlic aioli. Comes with a side of crispy, aromatic truffle fries.

• Nadine Simantov for her fragrant and flavorful Thai Mussels. Thai Mussels features Plump, tender mussels sautéed with garlic and red peppers, then simmered in a rich, house-made coconut curry broth with a splash of white wine. A fresh garnish of cilantro, chives, and serrano pepper provides a vibrant finish.

“A huge thank you to everyone who shared their incredible dish ideas with us for the menu contest,” the Tem wrote on Facebook. “The creativity you all showed was amazing, and choosing was not easy.”

They continued, “If your dish wasn't chosen this time, don't worry! We were so impressed that we'll definitely be doing this again for our next special menu change. Come on down and taste these amazing, community-created dishes and our other new specials.

“Come taste the new dishes you helped create,” the Temperance House. “Be the first to try these incredible specials by reserving your table or placing an order for takeout.”
