A couple of dishes from the weekend.

Bakers Crust Wine Country Salad, when it’s good, it’s amazing! The flavors of the goat cheese and fruit play against the pecans and greens in a great way. I always get my dressing on the side when I order a salad because I never want the last few bites to be soggy with balsamic vinegarette. I ordered this salad a few weeks ago and it was great. Ordered it from the same restaurant a week later and, seriously, I have no idea what the difference was but the flavors were just not working together like it had before. But will I try it again? Certainly, flavor like that is worth the risk (maybe a half salad next time though).

The Daily Kitchen & Bar offers brunch on Sunday and I have ordered this Burrito Bowl both times I have visited each of their Richmond, VA locations. The thing about this particular dish is that, well, when you are in the middle of eating it, it’s pretty ugly but the flavor of the rice, avocado, and egg blend into a very tasty bite. At some point, I’m going to sample some of the other things on the menu, but it’s hard to turn down the known goodness.
