Modern Market takes the season’s best and serves it up in their new summer menu, which debuts Wednesday in all markets. Full of incredible flavor and color, the new menu features tangy notes, crunchy textures, herb infusions and a brand new protein addition: pulled pork.
Modern Market takes an all-inclusive approach to food and health, with a focus on quality and attention to sourcing. Humanely-raised, antibiotic-free Berkshire pulled pork from Denver’s Tender Belly is at the heart of this seasonal menu. “We’re not only adding a new protein, but we’re also improving our existing proteins with our new marinating process and making them even better,” says Chef Nate Weir, director of culinary operations.
Flavor is also kicked up a notch in this menu rollout with an introduction of new herbs. They can be found throughout each new entree.
“We’re making it rain herbs,” says Chef Josh Chesterson, culinary creative director. “It’s an instant upgrade to flavor without adding unnecessary fat or calories.”
