Kale concealed the contents of a carrot tamale ($10.00):

... at Tamale Boy.

This dino dolmaesque dinner started with salmon ceviche ($12.00):

... which was a mango-mingled mason jar of fruit and mer.

Guac ($8.00):

... was ‘cado crush:

... that companied the Oaxacan-style tamale:

... tucked with puerco pibli ($4.50):

... delectably.

The cart-turned-restaurant was a fine place to re-leaf our hunger.

A crusty, salty and slightly sweet stump ($1.50):

... was served up at Son of a Biscuit:

... the new Micah Camden chicken shack.

This honeyed hump sided a half chicken ($9.75):

... with a dark, golden armor of crust and moist meat. This well seasoned bird rested on slices of white bread (which was less interesting than the round bread).

Mac and cheese ($3.00):

... was creamy and elbowey, but didn’t have any crispy bits.

Cracking open a cold one:

... with this clucker sealed the deal at this roosteraunt. That is a winner for chicken dinner.

The saison is made by a staff member at the Heathman.

We sat down to these refreshing suds:

... along with a couple of slightly overcooked burgers:

... and crisp fries:

... that were fine fortification, but not necessarily a revisit.

Back to Tiffin Asha:

... to pick up a “hot chick” ($8.00):

... also known as a chicken dosa. This crepe cigar was ignited with their “gunpowder”:

... or their pulverized pepper potion that we mix with sesame oil. Pickled greens and yogurt cheese flattered this fowl fold up that we cheered up with items from their chutney bar.

The B.A.T ($7.00):

... of bacon, arugula and tomatoes was as good as we remembered from our last visit.

This tiffin turnout is tops.

We returned to the raucous River Pig:

... for more of their chicken livers ($7.00):

... but the were woefully overcooked this time.

The chicken wings ($10.00):

... turned out to be drumsticks, which were okay, but weren’t as good as the flappers we got on our last visit.

A salad of quinoa, arugula, feta, olives, carrot and edamame ($7.00):

... with a perky citrus dressing turned out to be the best bet of the bunch.

We flew through a couple draughts:

... before seeking other sustenance.

The hand held Pine State Biscuits that we have had at the Farmers Market were not laden with gravy like they are in the brick and mortar.

We both got the Reggie Deluxe ($9.00) with fried chicken, bacon and cheese but diversified our dishes with mushroom gravy:

... and sausage gravy.:

Moist chicken with a crisp crust had limper bacon than we prefer, but the gilding cheese and gravy were fine flourishes.

These heavy helpings were doze-inducing dough decks.

Za’atar dusted garbanzos ($3.00):

... kicked off Levant’s new happy hour. These bean bearings were luscious legumes followed by fried cauliflower ($5.00):

... with a tub of tahina.

A perky “Kayisi Sour” ($8.00) with rye, cognac, apricot liqueur and orgeat as well as an orangey “Anatolia”($8.00) with dry vermouth and rye:

... were pleasing potions that paved our palates for falafel ($7.00):

Crusty clumps ‘banzo balls were zig-zhouged with spice and onion. This top notch flatbread fold up was followed by a shawarma-spiced lamb burger ($9.00):

... with feta, pickled onion and butter lettuce with a pint of beer ($5.00).

Levant’s HH was AOK by us.

We racked up some skewers ($9.00):

... at Khao San:

... where pork and chicken were prodded, grilled and hooked in a stab at Thai street food.

Cushions of tofu, shitakes and carrots were adorned with a basil leaf in spring roll bites ($6.00):

We relished these rice-papered rounds with a couple beers.

Larb ($7.00):

... was grounded in a minty lime dressing to perk this porky pile.

This snack center was a sating stop.

We hung out at Hatfields for their tasting menu.

Our bouches were ‘mused by the Meyer lemon prawn ceviche:

... followed by kanpachi with blood oranges in a shiso creme fraiche.

Their signature croque Madame:

... hid hamachi and ham in a brioche-bound, quail egg-capped sandwich.

Crispy sweetbreads contrasted with creamy butternut squash flan with coconut froth and mushrooms:

...while squid-inked garganelle:

... got a pinch of pickled shallots to perk this pea and crab pasta.

Divers scallop with duxelles:

... got a plummy potion and filbert foundation while hamachi hunkered under hemp seeds with beets and Brussels.

Raisins offered a sweetness to delectable duck with quinoa and dukes:

... while chicken flew in with cauliflower.

Beef rib “pastrami”:

... with smoked ‘shrooms and braised beef rib:

... with salsify puree, maitake mushrooms and Brussels sprouts were righteous rib and ‘rami before we cleared the way with lemon granita and panna cotta:
