Remoulade sauce. $8
Ford’s Fish Shack, Ashburn VA
This crab cake was delicious and different from the usual crab cakes I’ve had. The lump crab pieces were quite large, and the cake was loosely formed and very tender and juicy. I also liked the remoulade sauce, but thought that the market price for the crab cake was a little high for the small portion.

With fried yuca and onion and tomato salad. $5.99
El Pollon, Ranson WV
Mmm, I love Peruvian rotisserie chicken. This was very flavorful, but the breast meat was a bit dry. That’s what I get for opting for the white meat. I loved the sides though, especially the onion and tomato salad. The fried yuca was also good and not greasy.

Marinated in shio koji, pureed salsify, pan roasted salsify, grilled leeks. Tasting menu $95
Volt, Frederick MD
Eh, this wasn’t my favorite dish. The short rib tasted fine, but I wasn’t a fan of the accompanying flavors. The pureed and pan roasted salsify components were too much. Or maybe I’ve discovered that I’m not a fan of salsify (which probably isn’t true). Anyway, I guess you can’t like everything…
