The Ozark Forest Mushroom Salad at Farmhaus is a locavore’s dream. A bed of lightly dressed Crop Circle Farm winter greens, a generous helping of toasted Missouri pecans and dollops of goat cheese from Baetje Farms are the foundation for a gigantic pile of crispy shiitake and oyster mushrooms. The ‘shrooms are meaty with the charred, crunchy exterior of a steak and loaded with flavor, thanks to a bold bacon vinaigrette. Farmhaus is always changing dishes, but there’s a reason that this one has stayed on the menu since day one. It is flawless – and timeless.
