72 December 7 • 2017 jn continued from page 71 nosh the "New American"-style menu encompasses an exciting blend of cuisines and Schneider fam- ily staples. Leading chef Justin Dalenberg helped bring the couple's vision to life with an enticing range of small plates and substantial entrees. Prior to his leadership at The Fed, Dalenberg led kitchens at Zingerman's Roadhouse, Sage Restaurant at the Snowmass Club in Colorado and the JW Marriott in Grand Rapids. The Fed offers a global hodge- podge of cuisines with Japanese, Mexican, Middle Eastern and French influences, to name just a few. Guests can snack on both tacos and sushi or opt for a steadfast steak or seafood entree, all prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Sharing is strongly encour- aged, yet diners may recon- sider handing over a wedge of Alsatian flatbread, one of Sarah and James' favorite dishes. This thin-crust delight has sweet, savory and smoky notes, with crumbled goat cheese, bacon, thinly sliced onion and a sprin- kle of thyme. Equally tempting is the charcuterie board, which pairs exceptionally well with a glass of wine or a fizzy cocktail. Grilled slices of bread pose as the vehi- cle for both creamy and solid cheeses, cured meats, sweet jam and olives. The wood-grilled lamb chops are served atop a colorful rata- touille and studded with creamy goat cheese. The pan-seared scallops, alongside a leek and mushroom risotto, are rich, yet easy to devour. Any day of the week, guests can expect a genuine greeting from Sarah or James or even one of their three adorable children. "The Fed is meant to be an extension of our own home," says Sarah, who encourages din- ers to simply come as they are.
