Rutherford Grill

Rutherford Grill was not on my earlier bucketlist, but mentally it was supposed to be. Rutherford Grill is not necessarily known for its outstanding food next to places like Bouchon and PRESS, etc, but it is known for making the best profit and business whatever nonsense. Who cares, I care about food. But we got out of class very early one day last week, and decided to take advantage of our new found time and go to dinner here. It was packed, but also a huge restaurant so we only waited about 20 minutes. We sat outside on their lovely patio, next to the only broken heater, so that was unfortunate. But our food was very good.

So we ordered the daily Chips N Dip appetizer, which changes every day. We got lucky and ended up with guacamole (our personal favorite) that had sweet corn in it which was awesome, once we figured out what it was. The other dip I'm not entirely sure what it was as we stopped listening at guacamole. It was some sort of spicy queso dip. It was good, but not as good as the guac. The chips tasted fresh, but not oily. I had to add salt to them though.

This was my main course. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned grilled salmon on a bed of mashed potatoes and greens. The greens tasted like a mix of kale and spinach. They were good, but slightly bitter for my taste but I liked the cheese on them. The mashed potatoes were also good, especially with the salmon juice, but had a few too many green onions. The salmon though, was absolutely perfect.

Megan's burger was juicy and cooked very well and the fries were good too.

This though was the best part of the meal. Oreo cookie ice cream, sandwiched with oreo cookie crumbs, with an espresso chocolate sauce. Amazingly delicious. I'm drooling just looking at it.

Next post, I promise a recipe.
