Hash Brown Incredibly good… incredibly drinkable… It’s a little bit malty. The roasty malt is smooth and creamy with a whisper of bitter chocolate. There’s an air of barely there sweetness. But, that’s balanced with just the right dose of bitter. A bright tangy citrus hop kick and a bit of sticky, earthy pine keep this interesting. It’s better than interesting. The careful balance of it all is absolutely lovely. We’re loving it.
Wells Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale At first scent, it’s overpoweringly sweet. But, then… it’s a whole lot of “eh”. This is not a favorite. Still, we must say that we’re more than a little bit eager to make a batch of gingerbread with one of these bottles. If that works out, we’ll use the remaining bottles in the same (or, a similar) way.
Fusion Pad Thai
So many herbs and sprouts cover this dish…
…and tender shrimp …and slivered brussel sprouts
Green Mango, Papaya, & Apple Salad The grilled lamb slivers adds the perfect finishing touch to this mountain of salad perfection.
We’ll never stop loving this dish. Co’m Vietnamese Restaurant
The Greater Good Barbecue On this early dinner visit, Greater Good’s barbecued ribs were gorgeously tender, seriously meaty, and delicious. So, we’d say that’s back to normal for Greater Good.
That’s a lot of ribs for half a rack. We had plenty left over for midnight snacking for two… easy.
Mac & Cheese With Brisket Chili In Back Brisket Chili. Every time. Period.
Half Chicken, Collards, & Green Beans
It screams smoky on the outside. On the inside, it’s oh so tender and delicious… again. We’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve had The Greater Good’s smoked chicken. But, we do know it’s been deliciously smoky, moist, tender and incredibly edible on almost every visit.
Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA? Yes, Please. Now, please.
The Greater Good Barbecue
This visit was a bit unfortunate. We arrived a bit between meal services. And, the chicken and ribs seemed to suffer a bit from this fact. They were room temperature and a little bit more than a touch on the dry side. In all of our visits, this is the first time for this… so, we’ll reserve judgment for now. And, we’ll be back.
Their brisket chili is deep, dark, and spicy.
Collards
Cuban Sandwich
If you make a Cuban sandwich, you should have Cuban bread. But, this is Subway’s Cuban sandwich. So, we probably shouldn’t expect too much. They do have an Italian roll. And, we’d say that it has a better texture than most of Subway’s other options. For a fast food Cuban sandwich, this wasn’t bad at all.
Nine Grain Wheat? The texture and taste of this bread was significantly less enjoyable.
The Crafty Hog Ribs are a must.
Tender, moist and smoky, these were quite good.
SweetWater Brewing Hash Brown India Style Brown Ale sits in front. The darker Avery Ellie’s Brown Ale hides in back. They met our cravings on a cold, rainy day. Both are very drinkable. And, we’ll be sure to seek out both of these again.
The Southern Pickle Fry
We loved the pickled red cherry pepper, jalapeños and whole okra. Unfortunately, the pickle chips dominated the very generous sheet pan full of all things fried. We were constantly scavenging for the peppers and okra. The pickle chips were a bit overpowering. So, we neglected them for the most part.
Brussel Sprouts With Bacon Crispy… delicious… period.
Smoke House Corn On The Cob
1/2 Chicken With Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese The chicken was tender and mostly pleasant. But, it was a bit too wet with sauce for us. The mac and cheese was dominated by a creamy sauce.
We enjoyed the (black) peppery Hog Wash Sauce. Hog Wash and Deep South are the two sauces that sit on the table. The others are offered on the side with your plates. Deep South was quite sweet (too sweet for us) and tomato-y.
If we’re in the area, we’d return for another round of ribs and brussel sprouts. (We made 3 meals out that full rack of ribs up there.) The Crafty Hog
Best BBQ’s Crispy Roast Duck
Roasted peanuts and pickled greens accompanied each plate.
Every tender bite was paired with a bit of crispy, golden brown skin.
BBQ Pork
Both were delicious.
Dumplings… (Most of our favorites were available.)
These were made to order.
Gorgeously prepared and generously stuffed…
We enjoyed every bite.
The chili sauce was memorable, too.
This was a quiet moment after 2pm. When we arrived (just after 1pm), the line was over 10 parties long and every table was jam-packed.
Best BBQ Chinese Restaurant is hiding in the back corner of the food court area. Some offerings are pictured along the top of their space. But, laminated menus and dim sum (in picture form) offerings are both available near the ordering area. They’re on two separate laminated sheets. Best BBQ
Calm Before The Storm
This is smooth sailing, to be sure. Smooth and delicately mild for the most part, this one was a real shocker. We didn’t hate it at all. We thought that we’d hate it. We were quite sure that we would. But, no, it’s too interesting to hate. The coffee layers in there nicely with the rich cream ale. And, the sweet scent of vanilla teeters on the edge of balance with the pleasantly bitter coffee. The sweetness might fill your senses, but, it doesn’t overpower the taste of the ale. This collaboration of flavors works so much better than it has a right to. One bottle (or two) will find it’s way into a loaf of home made bread. We’re sure of that. Actually, we’d go so far as to say that making a loaf of bread with this ale will be a priority in the very near future. Sadly, we can’t say that we love this one. We do find it very interesting. At the end of the day, all of those flavors are a bit busy after a few sips. We’d have to say it’s a bit too busy for our taste.
Hard Root Beer Do you have sweet memories of Coney Island? Add this.
5.8% Alcohol But,you’d never guess it. It’s hard to taste anything except for the sweetness. This is sugar coated, double-dipped candy sweet fun to drink. Even the flavors that you know and love about root beer are hiding under that sticky sweetness. We’ll save most of these for a late-night Halloween treat. We’re both adults, obviously. — Now, it’s time for us to share a root beer float made with one of these sugar bombs. |
