Now his empire has vastly grown and includes Culinary Dropout.\n\nWith my first time being here, we met up with some friends here for lunch. My wife and I usually split entrees when we go out. When we are on vacation, we don't really like to take \"home\" leftovers (i.e. back to the hotel). We split the Shaved Prime Rib Dip sammich and it was honestly one of the best I have ever had. The bread was soft, instead of hard and crunchy like most other places I've tried.\n\nMy friend had the Green Chile Stew. The server really talked it up so he was expecting it to be amazing, but it was just good (which isn't bad).\n\nMy one gripe with these new, trendy restaurants is the choice is seating. The metal chairs are painful to sit on...no padding whatsoever. This is a big deal and factors in my decision to ever come back. They do have couch-style seating which is much better. Some of the couches surround fire-pits which is really nice to have when it's chilly.\n\nA note on parking: we parked in the \"front\" of what we thought was the restaurant. It turns out the restaurant is in the far back of the building. Park on the side where there is another entrance to CD. \n\nAlso, this place goes by another name: The Yard at Farmer's District. I believe it's the outdoorsy area where you can play shuffle board, cornhole and other games. There's also a bar behind the play area. It even has it's own Yelp page, which curiously enough - also points to Culinary Dropout.\n\nOverall, we had a good experience. The beers were cold, service was prompt and the food delicious. Just remember to bring a seat pad with you if you decide to visit ;-)"^^ . "2017-12-29T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ .
