I'm disappointed like a kid who wanted soft serve on a hot summer day but have it melt when it was finally my turn ):
This was my first Winterlicious of the year and I was let down by the main. The app and dessert were decent. The sweet potato/bacon soup was rich and thick, I quite loved the contrast of sweet/salty in the ingredients and the texture was right on.
For the main, I got the beef bourguignon. The high hopes I had for this dish came crashing down.. someone most definitely dumped salt into the stew and I had to keep eating the mash at the bottom to counteract the saltiness of the meat and sauce - which, for some reason, also had a bitter taste at one point. The only thing I really remember about this dish is how thirsty I was afterwards. Perhaps I should've just gone with a simple Focaccia sandwich.
The dessert was lovely. Triple cream brie was done just right with spiced pecans that I loved and figs with crunchy crostini. I had a bite of the brownie and it was a bit too haevy for my taste, same with the butter pudding. I'm glad I at least got to end my Winterlicious experience nicely, but I probably won't be back here until the chefs learn to cut the salt.
