| - Let's talk about Smoke, baby...
Let's talk about sweet chile...
Let's talk about Korean Chicken BBQ, and the good beer that we see....
Heh. Heh. Heh. See what I did there?
Seriously though, lets talk about it. I came in here for lunch today, I had mac & cheese on my mind - but then because this is North Carolina - it was 10,000 degrees outside, and I started to reconsider. I've had the mac & cheese here before, and it was really good, but this heat is just too much for warm cheese/noodles/carb/food coma. So I sat down at the bar and was greeted by Art. He is super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I told him about my mac & cheese/heat dilemma and that I was now thinking about a beer and a salad (obviously, they go together.). They have White Street Kolsch on tap, local beer, perfect for this weather. I ordered a Kolsch, and started thinking about what to put on top of the Caesar salad.... Then Art looked at me, and suggested the Korean Chicken BBQ Salad.
*long dramatic pause here*
I grabbed the description off of the website for you, "Mixed greens, tomatoes, corn, sesame seeds and chow mein noodles tossed in a sweet chile dressing and topped with pulled chicken drizzled with Korean BBQ sauce" AND ITS AMAZING. When it came out, everything is cold, fresh and delicious. The sauces are just right, not dry but not drenched either. The chicken was done really well and filling - so I took some of it home! For real. Like took enough home to have dinner, and if you've been following me - you know that eating is definitely a talent of mine, take home food is rare. Excellent, large portions.
This salad is my new lunch favorite. When it's not a million degrees outside, I'll probably still get mac & cheese, but I was really glad that I tried this today.
Smoke is a great place to grab a delicious lunch for a fair price, or to take a nice date. Dress it up, or dress it down - it's tasty, and on my side of town. Winning!
