Brengman Brothers’ Michigan BBQ Lettuce Wraps

Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | July 9, 2022

For an afternoon of sun-drenched sipping, Brengman Brothers at Crain Hill Vineyard is an ideal place to take root. Established in 2003, this regionally-focused winery has an ethos all about showcasing local terroir, from its array of top-notch wines to its just-released tapas menu, led by chef Loghan Call. For an afternoon “planted” on the patio, pair your glass of wine with the Michigan BBQ Lettuce Wraps. Presented on leaves of Loma Farms lettuce, each wrap is glazed in house-made barbeque sauce and topped with vegan smashed chickpeas or shaved roast beef from Louie’s Meats. Call finishes this seasonal dish with pickled red onion and a cucumber relish tossed with a Thai basil and mint blend, all courtesy of Lakeview Hill Farms. Summer bliss: achieved. Enjoy a roast beef wrap for $16 or go vegan for $14. Brengman Brothers’ tapas menu is available daily (with the exception of weddings and private events) from 2pm until close. 9720 S Center Hwy, Traverse City. (231) 421-5611. brengmanbrothers.com
