If I didn’t know any better, I’d think the chefs of Fort Bragg were trying to outdo themselves with special huckleberry infused foods during the 2nd Annual Huckleberries and Hounds Festival scheduled for Sept. 26-28.

Breakfast

• Cafe One will offer scones and pancakes.
• Eggheads will add huckleberries to their famous Kansas Cakes.
• Mendocino Cookie Company will create a huckleberry bran muffin.

Dinner

• vCanto says its pastry chef is planning a gourmet dessert.
• The Restaurant plans for a gourmet chicken dish with huckleberry sauce and huckleberry dessert.
• Mendo Bistro will create a venison leg with huckleberry sauce and a frozen vanilla bean souffle with huckleberry soup.
• Rendezvous Chef Kim Badenhop is working on a special menu to be revealed later this week.

More on specific plans as they unveil them in the next week.
