Early August, and this week's lineup is pulling in every direction — a citrusy bowl of ramen, real smoke off the grill, big Indian and Thai spice, and a couple of retro comfort plates for good measure.
Yuzu Shoyu — chicken-broth ramen brightened with yuzu peel, pork chashu and a jammy egg; the most restaurant-feeling bowl on the list.
Hickory Grilled Flank Steak — horseradish crème fraîche smashed potatoes and house gremolata, exactly what the grill was made for this time of year.
The rest runs the gamut: butter miso sesame salmon, a hearty chicken corn étouffée, chipotle mango chicken with avocado and pico, a loaded chicken & avocado wrap, tandoori chicken skewers, a Detroit-style upside-down pizza, a retro meatloaf with mushroom demi and mashed potatoes, Cuban mojo over black beans, spicy Thai basil veggies, crispy sesame tofu, and a slow-simmered chana masala for a lighter night.
Fourteen ideas below, hope you find some dinner inspo! — Rhys
