Main Street Inn
Karen Kulberg, Innkeeper & Contact
Ste. Genevieve, MO
Food, food, glorious food!
Whoever said that must have stayed at a B&B where breakfast is almost as important as a romantically appointed room. Although we once stayed at a B&B that didn’t serve breakfast (or even coffee!), that is definitely NOT the case at Main Street Inn where the breakfasts are famous throughout the town. Some local restauranteurs have even complained that Main Street Inn guests don’t have room for lunch.
Our philosophy is simple: serve the best of whatever is in season; preparing dishes that are familiar in slightly new ways with an aim toward good health; presenting the food in a straightforward, but beautiful manner on antique dinnerware, in a comfortable setting; and accompanying it with an endless amount of strong hot coffee and tea. Eggs direct from the poultry farm; blueberries, peaches, melons, and veggies picked in the area or bought from local farmers at the Saturday market. Fresh herbs are harvested from the inn garden, sausage from the local butcher. Many breads are made in the inn kitchen.
And, with an eye to health and organic responsibility, the delectable dishes are often sweetened by fruit reductions and olive oils and soy products replace the more traditional butter and cream.
A seasonal recipe is included in the email newsletter. Other recipes by request. An inn cookbooklet is in the works.
