Your Stories

This week we asked you, our guests and friends, to tell us what Copper Canyon Grill and Stanford Grill mean to you. Everyone who told us their story was entered to win a $50 gift card to our restaurants, and we were overwhelmed with the amazing response! We care deeply about the experience you get when joining us for a meal, from the greeting you get when you walk in the door all the way to your dessert, so it’s very important to us to hear from you about your personal experiences. A big thank you to all who entered and shared with us!

We will be sharing more of these stories in the coming weeks, but today are sharing thoughts from our two winners. Lisa had the following to say about what Copper Canyon Grill means to her:

“Dining at Copper Canyon has become a weekly family ritual, where we create memories, share stories and experience the love of friends and family. The servers have even become our extended family that share in our happy time together.”

We love hearing that our family has become part of Lisa’s family. Amanda had similar thoughts about Stanford Grill:

“Stanford Grill in Columbia was the first place in MD that felt like ‘our place’. We started going as an engaged couple. We have celebrated every major milestone in those walls-marriage, jobs, friends, babies, birthdays, date nights…It was the first place we took our new born son, the place we always recommend, and continues to be our first choice for every get together. Thank you for creating such a fantastic atmosphere, and for giving us a ‘place’.”

Again, thank you to everyone who entered and shared with us! We’re thankful to be part of your story!

Winter Favorites

Now that the holidays are over and life is quieting down a bit, it’s time to settle into a normal eating pattern again. But eating normal again doesn’t mean you have to settle for bland or boring foods – check out our winter favorites list for some of our favorite things to enjoy when the cold weather hits!

1. Bravo Salad (Stanford Grill)

For a nutritious salad that packs a punch of both flavor and texture, dig in to the Bravo Salad with our famous rotisserie chicken, avocado, dates, goat cheese, roasted corn, and almonds! Your taste buds and energy level will thank you.

2. Italian Meatballs (Stanford Grill)

Is there anything better than homemade meatballs with marinara and garlic bread? We can’t think of anything. Start your dinner off with this appetizer on your next trip to Stanford Grill for the perfect Italian plate!

3. Pancake Triple Stack (Copper Canyon & Stanford Grill Columbia)

Served at Sunday brunch only, this impressive plate piled with blueberry or banana nut pancakes with hot syrup is the only way to start your Sunday – that and a mimosa, of course.

4. Double-Cut Pork Chop (Stanford Grill Columbia)

Hardwood grilled and served with braised red cabbage and mashed potatoes, this plate is just as delicious as it is colorful. Red cabbage provides Vitamin C as well as many other health benefits, so you’ll feel great while enjoying a tasty plate!

5. Iron Skillet Cornbread (Copper Canyon & Stanford Grill Columbia)

We can’t forget our favorite dish to share, our Iron Skillet Cornbread. Served hot with lots of butter, this dish screams comfort food! We especially love it paired with one of our soups on a cold winter evening.

What’s YOUR favorite dish for the winter? Anything we left off the list? Let us know in the comments!
