Smokin’ Father’s Day

Sip Local
Written By Claudia Milroy

Invite dad and the whole family to Smokin’ Pete’s for the best bbq in the area this Sunday. The Father’s Day Special is a Reversed Seared Tomahawk Ribeye (avg 3.5 lbs) seared on a M&M Santa Maria Grill over a live fire. Truly prepared perfectly at medium rare and served over a bed of garlic herb parmesan tater tots with fresh homemade chimichurri, two 8oz sides, and two pieces of cornbread. This enormous platter is so perfect for sharing with dad!

Top it off with a cocktail special and let me recommend the Maple Bacon Old Fashioned, complete with Rattlesnake Rosie’s Maple Bacon Whisky, Maple Syrup from our local favorite Schiek’s Maple Farm, and garnished with the house cured & smoked candied bacon.

The menu may feel overwhelming but no worries I have some recommendations for you: get that Tomahawk Ribeye to share, and add on the smoked sausage or the smoked brisket. Go for the cowboy beans or the street corn, you won’t be disappointed! For the chicklins’ they serve grilled cheeses and burgers! Something for everyone!

For the mama’s going to Father's Day your must try is the Smokin’ Peach Cocktail - homemade and smoked ingredients make this cocktail truly delicious! The compote and peaches are both house smoked making it that much more special!

Happy Father's Day to all!

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you stay awhile and come back often. I started the weekly newsletter and this website for tourists and locals alike. I once was a tourist (over a decade ago) and now I’m a local, living here, working here, raising a family here! And I sure do love it!

Naturally I first fell in love with the rolling hills and cool lake breezes. But as I returned again and again, for a different season and different reason, Penn Yan stuck with me. I recall first it was the hint of grape when you drive by a vineyard and then the caramelized, roasted air that wafted down Main Street from Birkett Mills. Visit after visit my husband and I hit all the tourists stops because of my curiosity. Full disclosure - my husband was raised in Penn Yan and he knew all the ins and outs of the area to woo me! Travel & history nerd here! So, through our years of dating and early years of marriage (p.s. we got married in the Finger Lakes!) we would visit family, friends, and our favorite spots. Then the day came when our son was just 6 months old and we decided it was time to move to Penn Yan! Now 10 years later I’m here to share my love of this place with you!

I hope you enjoy this, I hope you take away some cool and fun inspiration for your next adventure. If you're planning a trip, please don’t hesitate to reach out - I’d love to personalize an experience or a 7 day itinerary for you.
