| - After six months back in the CLT, I think I'm finally coming to terms with the seemingly new Charlotte cuisine item that is the "Veggie Plate." I've been to a number of places now where one of the vegetarian options is listed as the Veggie Plate (choice of 3 veggie sides or 4 veggie sides). Out of principal, I've never ordered one since I've always been a little annoyed by the idea that vegetarians must only eat sides, but last night, at Dish for the first time, I caved.
Mac and cheese (delicious), squash casserole (unidentifiably delicious), and stewed tomatoes and okra (that tasted just like my mom's veggie soup) were accompanied by Dish's signature deviled egg and biscuit. I give up. I give up to you, Veggie Plate. Because you are, in certain mood, truly delicious.
I appreciate that Dish treats the Veggie Plate as a legitimate entree and allows its biscuit and deviled egg to accompany it (as the biscuit is one of the best I've ever had). I also appreciate that Dish has a number of other veg-friendly options on the menu. Husband ordered the tomato soup and grilled pimento cheese sandwich (he can't resist that pairing), and both were excellent. I'm so relieved they make an in-house veggie burger (seriously... there's no excuse not to), and I can't resist anything with black beans (the nachos look fantastic), so I imagine we'll be returning to Dish to sample some of the other menu items.
(Good prices, too, and the decor is classic old school North Carolina.)
