Pasta bolognese – Volt

Pasta bolognese - Volt
Calamari and pepperoni, roasted tomatoes, ricotta cheese cavatelli with squid ink, grated parmigiano reggiano. Tasting menu $95
Volt, Frederick MD

This pasta was very rich and delicious. I like that it was unconventional with the seafood additions of calamari in the sauce and squid ink in the pasta. These ingredients really changed the flavor and feel of the bolognese. This was about the point when I was getting VERY full and started wondering how many more dishes were left, hehe.

Pork belly hash – Market Table Bistro

Pork belly hash - Market Table Bistro
Breakfast potato hash, summer squash, zucchini, herbs, hickory glaze, poached eggs. $18
Market Table Bistro, Lovettsville VA

This hash was really good! There were full on chunks of fat in the hash (without any meat attached) which was delicious but unexpected. I couldn’t eat all of them though because it was too rich. The dish was tasty and I loved the seasonal vegetables incorporated into the dish. Noms!

Cow creamer - Market Table Bistro
Cow creamer. Very cute, especially against the black tabletop.
