| - YES, I managed to make it out here 3 days before it closed. After all the crazy hype about it, this was near the very top of my try list. Danny W. and I ordered two plates to share: Tongue Grilled Cheese and the Scrapple.
Both of us really like tongue but had in the past only eaten it mainly in stews or soups. Not having eaten tongue in a while, the taste is pretty distinct and we enjoyed the sandwich! I like that they cut it in fine thin slices to pile onto the sandwich. The bread was really nicely toasted, crunchy. It was a good contrast to the juicy soft meat inside.
The scrapple was an interesting dish... can't quite remember what parts they mushed together to make this patty, but it was like jowl and cheek and something. Honestly, it was ground into such a paste to make the patty that I may have believed you if you said it was a bean patty. It came with a tiny salad and a sunny-side up, properly runny, just how I like it :)
I think I enjoyed the tongue sandwich more, as I didn't really care for the texture of the meat in the scrapple. Overall though, cool place to chill with a friend, the place was B U S Y even at 3pm, every seat taken. Sad that it's closed, happy I made it before the ending. Good luck to their future project.
