Morgan's in the desert is thrilled to begin the next summer festival menu, featuring cherries. Cherries are typically classified as either sweet or tart. Sweet cherries include Bing cherries, Lambert cherries, Rainier cherries and are grown mainly in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Tart cherries include the Montmorency and Balaton varieties and are produced primarily in Michigan. Both sweet and tart cherries contain phenolics, naturally-occurring plant compounds that have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant effects. We encourage you to celebrate the Summer season with the best in farm-to -table cuisine by James Beard award-winning Chef Jimmy Schmidt and Chef de Cuisine Brian Recor.
Menu Available June 22- July 1
