| - My friend Jenn and I went to Hello, Sailor for lunch. Hello, Sailor is the newest restaurant from the folks at Kindred and most people will tell you how life-changing Kindred is as a restaurant. I only like the bread and dessert at Kindred so I really wasn't looking forward to Hello, Sailor. So much so that several of my friends had asked to join me there and I said no. But Jenn and I had a change of plans one day for lunch and we were suddenly left trying to figure out what to have since neither of us had brought lunch as a back up. We were going through the list of normal places to go and nothing sounded great. Jenn then suggested Hello, Sailor and I thought, "well... why not?"
Keep in mind Hello, Sailor is is pretty focused around seafood which isn't my favorite. I was pretty convinced that I'd end up with a burger even though I didn't want one. Instead, Jenn convinced me to try the Calabash chicken and she ordered a lobster roll. To start, we went ahead and ordered some hush puppies.
Before I get to the food, let's talk about the restaurant. You know in "Mad Men" when Draper heads to California? Yeah, that season threw up and is the decor of Hello, Sailor. I like it. I like that it took me mentally to "Mad Men". But it also has terrible acoustics, which is brought up a lot on the Yelp reviews that currently exist. Also, our waiter was very interested in sharing every single detail with us. Even after I said yes I wanted the dessert. Alas! I had not yet heard every minor detail of the hand pie so even though I'd said yes, he continued explaining it to me. I found that a little odd, but my experience wasn't ruined because of it.
Anyway.
I don't love hush puppies. But I did love these. I've actually been thinking about them since I was there. They weren't as dense as others I've had and actually had some flavor.
Jenn loved her lobster roll. Which I was super stoked about because it's what everyone wants there (except me) and I would have been disappointed if it was bad. I didn't try it, I just trust her judgment.
My chicken was amazing. Perfectly fried. The right amount of seasoning. So many damn sesame seeds. But I wasn't upset by the seeds, I just made the same amount of mess as a small child.
I also had the hand pie of the day: bourbon pear. I added vanilla ice cream and Jenn had chocolate ice cream sans hand pie. The hand pie was absolutely delicious. The ice cream was fine... just mostly hilarious at the baby spoon you get with it. Jenn asked for a normal spoon instead and naturally that spoon was larger than the ice cream. I still giggle about it.
All in all, I'll be back to Hello, Sailor. Now, if I could just also get milk bread there from Kindred I'd be even happier!
