With Longmont Restaurant Week starting this Friday, March 29, the Longmont Observer will be publishing previews of the $18.71 menu. Keith MacPhail, owner and chef of Mac's Place, invited the Longmont Observer to preview the menu as well as answer a few questions.
Why did you select these items as part of the Longmont Restaurant Week menu?
I decided to offer three brand new items for both our breakfast and lunch menus. The French Connection breakfast is similar to a Monte Cristo sandwich but includes scrambled eggs and is served on a brioche roll. We are also offering breakfast burritos for the first time. My favorite of the new lunch items is a South Western Angus Burger, topped with a roasted poblano pepper, Pepper Jack cheese and salsa on the side. For Restaurant Week we are pricing two items for $18.71 and five burritos at the same price point.
What is your favorite item on Mac's Place standard menu?
The Classic Reuben sandwich made with corned beef brisket I brine myself for ten days. It's on marbled rye bread and served with home made potato chips or tater tots.
What is your favorite restaurant in Longmont?
Long's Peak Tavern on Main Street for casual evenings, and Sugar Beet for special occasions.
Mac's Place is at 1640 Pace Street #400, next to the now-closed Safeway store near 17th and Pace.
