Spoon and Stable

We went to brunch and had several pastries (including my semi-obsession with croissants).  The best hash browns I've ever had, wonderful bacon (yes those thick slabs behind the hash browns are bacon)

The Bachelor Farmer & Marvel Bar

We shared:

  • Smooth duck liver pate, preserved vegetables, mustards
  • Salt-cured foie gras, arugula, cherriette radishes, cucumbers, pickled shallots, red wine vinegar
  • Sautéed ramps, parmesan, lemon
  • Warm popover, honey butter

Shannon had, "Roasted Scallops, wild rice, green garlic, lovage, asparagus broth" and I had "Duck Confit, wilted nettles, spelt, thyme, sweet and sour rhubarb", then for dessert we had "Chocolate cake, peanut butter ice cream, fudge, fleur de sel" and Vanilla Bean Panna cotta with blackberry jam? (the rhubarb one ran out, it made me sad)

At the marvel bar, I had Old Man and the SeaOakenshield, London Bridge, and Shanon had Candycane.  Fantastic experience all around.  TBF has shot up to one of my top five meals of all time.

Pig ate my Pizza (PAMP)

We weren't super hungry, but I didn't want to eat later and spoil the appetite for TBF.  So we shared Hog Tots and Royale with Cheese pizza.  Quite enjoyable.

Tiny Diner

This was relatively close to our first stop for coffee (Angry Catfish), so we headed over here and had a good meal.  The buttermilk biscuits!  Wonderful.

A Baker's Wife Pastry Shop

Very buttery croissant.
