| - From the moment we reviewed the menu, we *knew* we were in for a rough evening. Starting with appetizers, seriously, how can you decide between deep fried deviled eggs, mac and cheese with crispy pancetta, or a grilled cheese pancetta sandwich served on an asiago cheese rolled and roasted red pepper tomato soup? The answer is: we couldn't and we had to order all three (which, by the way, is tooooooooo much food).
My husband raved over the tender short ribs, served over creamy mashed potatoes, sautéed veggies, red wine reduction! And, once again, we all had a hard time deciding over the sides and finally settled on ordering one of each: bacon cheddar biscuits, candied jalapeño orange butter, the wood oven roasted beckett's bacon biscuit stuffing, and the spinach spaetzle, bread crumbs, pancetta (for which I would totally order a full meal of , but that's just me, as my husband and son where not quite as enamored with it).
Dessert, caused us much consternation and we were much more reserved...probably because we were such gluttons from the start. May I say that if you are a bacon fan, YOU MUST ORDER the chocolate dipped bacon s'mores, caramel,housemade marshmallow, whipped peanut butter,
graham cracker. Yes, literally it was two huge, thick strips of bacon dipped in dark chocolate - with a side of smores. Personally, I just at the bacon and let my son eat the smores. My hubby ordered the chicory coffee crème brûlée - which he enjoyed.
I can't wait to go back with friends! I heard the owners were going to be opening up another concept restaurant (southern cooking) in the old Beefeaters location. We look forward to giving that a try!
