| Restaurant: TriBeCa Tavern in Raleigh, NC |
Dish: Japanese Black Chicken Wings
Critique: Don't let your eyes deceive you, these chicken wings are not burnt. They have been marinated in pineapple juice and soy sauce then cooked until the sugars are completely gone, leaving a crispy black crust. We must admit at first glance, the wings look a bit off putting. However, as The Hotness mom likes to say, "Looks aren't everything...it's what's on the inside that counts." And with these wings the outside and inside definitely count! This appetizer was a welcome tasty surprise that receives extra points for creativity.
Score: 3 out of 4 Hotties!!
Dish: Lamb Sirloin Burger and The Mountaineer Burger
Critique: One of the great attributes of TriBeCa Tavern is that it uses all local North Carolina meats and ingredients. With every single bite, the freshness is impossible to escape. The lamb burger is topped with buttermilk bleu cheese, grilled onions, and roasted tomatoes, it makes one forget all about Mary. Now the Mountaineer is packed for those adventurous enough to try something unique- fresh ground beef topped with horseradish chive Havarti, shiitake mushrooms, grilled scallions, and horseradish aioli. Go ahead and make your day by ordering a TriBeCa Burger. Be forewarned...although The Hotness finished it in on bite- it's a lotta burger.
Score: 4 out of 4 Hotties!!
Dish: Banana Bread Pudding and Key Lime Pie
Critique: Oh yea babe! Honestly, there isn't much to be said on these two desserts besides yum and mmmy. One doesn't realize how difficult it is to find a truly delish and fulfilling dessert until it's needed. Boy did we need it! The Bread Pudding has roasted bananas, spicy rum caramel sauce, and white chocolate chips. Not to be outdone, the Key Lime pie shines with the correct amount of tanginess. Good times indeed!
Score: 4 out of 4 Hotties!!
