| - Okay, this is hands-down my new favorite place!!
My husband and I consider ourselves "foodies", and we are always on the look-out for great new places. We decided to come here on a whim one night for a low-key dinner, and were totally blown away.
We ordered 2 Waffle-wiches, 1 sandwich, an app, and the daily dessert special.
The Jason Gi-ham-Brie was probably my favorite; the waffle (in lieu of bread) was true Belgian style, and a perfect complement to the other ingredients without being too heavy. The lambic peach chutney, combined with the melted Brie and ham, just the perfect balance of sweet + savory!
We also tried the Chicken & Waffles (kind of a must order for first timers), and the beer cheese and pretzel - both of which were totally solid.
But ironically, the thing that we ordered as an after-thought (the Intimidator) ended up blowing our minds the most! Such a simple sandwich: bread, pimento cheese, bacon, tomatoes.... But SO well executed! The pimento cheese was obviously homemade, and the buttery crunch of that bread after they grilled it had all the flavors melding together in a sinfully awesome way. I'm pretty much salivating just thinking about it!
And not to be forgotten.... The Lemon Raspberry Panna Cotta that was the daily dessert special. Let me make this easy for you: If they have this as their special for the day, go ahead and order a couple to take home. You'll thank me later. Seriously though, I'm Italian, and I've had Panna Cotta all over the world.... But theirs ranked in the top 2 EVER. I'll definitely be back for more!
I love that Fud at Salud sources their breads from local purveyor Duke's, and the ingredients they're using are obviously super fresh and prepared daily on premises. Not only are they knocking the food out of the park, but the owners are super nice, down-to-earth guys that seem to genuinely love what they do. Those are the kinds of places that you want to support!
All-in-all, a great place to grab a drink, relax, and have some seriously awesome unpretentious gourmet food!
