Buttermilk-brined chicken – Dish

Buttermilk-brined chicken - Dish
Potato puree, local green beans, natural jus. $18
Dish, Charles Town WV

The chicken was very tender and flavorful, but it certainly was a small serving. And OMG, both the chicken and mashed potatoes were so effing salty! I thought I might develop a kidney stone if I finished it – gross! The five pieces of green beans didn’t help things out either. Maybe this is God’s way of telling me that I’ve been overeating lately, lol!

Brussels sprouts salad – Dish

Brussels sprouts salad - Dish
Toasted walnuts, bleu cheese, roasted shallot puree, apple gastrique. $9
Dish, Charles Town WV

I actually liked this salad. It was simple and delicious, but maybe a little too sweet. The brussels sprouts were nice and firm, but they need a little more finesse with their overall flavors.

Margarita cocktail - Dish
Margarita. $5
Also too sweet!
