I was hesitant to try Carson Kitchen after I had tasted the less than impressive desserts from Simon Kitchen and Bar at the Epicurean Affair.
I arrived at 5:45 and there was a 30 min wait for a table so we decided to have dinner at the bar. We were greeted by an Irish bartender with a large personality. I ordered the Mac & cheese, jerk turkey burger, and glazed donut bread pudding. The Mac & cheese was the best macaroni I have had in a very long time. The noodles were still al dente even though they were sitting in a creamy sauce and baked in the oven. Flavor was bold and I enjoyed the bread crumbs on the top, however they were only on half of the dish. When I tasted the burger all I could taste was the potent star anise spice. Burger had potential but the spice ratios need to be toned down. I barely touched the side of tater tots because they were too greasy. I thought the dessert was decadent and very moist for a bread pudding.
