Harold's BBQ — Our first and last visit

I must confess… I’m not a fan of the Cracklin’ Cornbread. Gummy bits of cracklin’ clinging to my teeth is a bit of a turn off for me. The flavor payoff required for me to fight the unpleasant texture was just not there. The addition of fried pork rind to […]

Athens Kouzzina

Greek Island Wings

Fried crisp and drizzled with a vinaigrette loaded with Greek spices. On their own, they were a huge hit with us. But, the dipping sauce tipped the scale. This is finger food at its best. The dense dipping sauce made of finely pureed feta, sour cream, oregano and lemon […]

Las Arepas de Julia… a hidden gem

Bandeja Paisa

The deep golden brown and ultra-crisp bits of pork and pork skin should speak for itself. This was a decadently rich meal that was consumed (devoured) in silence. Oh yeah, and that crispy fried sausage didn’t suck either. If you want to consume a day’s worth of calories in one […]

Leon's Full Service

Crispy Skin Mountain Trout with apricot vinaigrette

Trout makes the perfect vehicle for showcasing crisp skin. Delicate and thin, the trout’s skin browns nicely and adds another element of texture. The tasty golden bits are perfectly matched with roasted cashews and apricot. This was our favorite dish of the night.

The Derby

Buffalo Grouper Sandwich

The breading of this fried grouper filet, doused in Buffalo hot sauce, remained crisp for the duration. Cooked to perfection with a super crispy exterior, yet, the interior was perfectly moist and flaky. The picture above doesn’t do justice to the size of this sandwich.

Blackened Grouper […]

Tap @ 1180

Badminton Cup Gin, cucumber, mint, & a splash of soda… delicate & fresh

Crabcake, fried egg, asparagus salad with orange, grapefruit & citrus dressing The crabcake was perfectly light & crisp. A hint of lemon within the crabcake tied the crabcake & salad together brilliantly.
