The Kitchen’s chef, Melanie Klann, is widely recognized as one of the most creative chefs in the Sierra Foothills. She has employed a “slow food” philosophy at Dragonlady Catering and Alchemy Gourmet Market. She opened Biga Murphys in 1996, the first fresh bread bakery in Murphys in nearly 100 years.
“I am dedicated to sustainable practices and green living, I source food from local farmers and suppliers wherever and whenever possible,” commented Melanie. It is not unusual for her to make an early morning run to Tyson Farms in Oakdale in order to serve fresh fruit by lunchtime.
The interplay between food and wine is supremely important to both partners — Scott focusing on the grapes, Melanie on the gastronomy. After two decades in the winery and food business, dedicated to sustainable practices and their respective crafts, the couple has helped put Calaveras County on the map with Melanie’s culinary creativity and Scott’s expertly crafted artisan wines. This “marriage” is the cornerstone of The Kitchen at Newsome-Harlow.
Sample dinner menu items
Cedar Plank Wild King Salmon – with balsamic/soy glaze, fruit salsa & coconut red rice
Slow-Roasted Creekside Farms Baby Back Ribs – with mushroom bourguinon reduction over creamy white polenta
Charcuterie plates and artisanal cheeses are served all day long, as are salads and soups.
A unique wine list as well as hand-crafted beers and bubbles by the glass are also featured
Although only open a short while, great reviews are coming in. Sue T. on yelp.com said, “Each of the dishes we ordered was prepared with creativity and the freshest of ingredients… Hard to believe we were in Murphys and not San Francisco.”
