An enthusiastic 5 stars. Every so often while I'm on the road, I stumble across a true hidden gem. The Larder and the Delta definitely qualifies. I wish I could say that I found this on my own but it was referred to me by a friend and fellow road warrior.
The surroundings are pedestrian. Think LA Central Market or Columbus North Market but a lot smaller. Sitting at the counter I was greeted by chef Marcus. We talked a little about the menu before I settled on the low country perlou. I ordered a cauliflower small plate as well just for the hell of it. Watching Marcus cook was half of the enjoyment for me. It was obvious he had a passion for his craft.
The food? Delicious! If you enjoy a good Spanish paella, you will love the perlou. Fresh seafood, perfectly cooked rice with an addicting crust (socarrat).
Yeah, I liked it.
