Orders may be placed now through Wednesday, April 1.
Mount Vernon owner Jeff Messinger says the restaurant’s Easter To-Go Menu includes three entrees: brown-sugar-glazed ham (either whole or sliced by the pound), roast leg of lamb au jus served with mint sauce, and sliced roast sirloin of beef au jus.
Available vegetables/side dishes are Mediterranean orzo pasta, macaroni and cheese, creamy Parmesan rice, Southern-style green beans, scalloped potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, fresh turnip greens, fresh kale salad, mashed potatoes, honey-glazed carrots and broccoli souffle.
Desserts to-go include Mount Vernon favorites such as amaretto cream pie, French silk pie and Southern pecan pie, as well as three new additions: coconut layer cake, triple-layer chocolate cake and bread pudding with vanilla rum sauce. Yeast rolls will be sold by the dozen.
Prices range from $19.95 to $22.95 for sides up to roughly $100 to $125 for a full dinner to feed a family of four to six.
Orders must be picked up at the restaurant, located at 3535 Broad St., on Saturday, April 4, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. When callers place their order, they will be given a number which they must know to pick up their food.
