High praise for a pork chop.

The husband and I were searching for a bakery in Windham but found a wonderful new restaurant instead.

.

.

Stumbling in at noon right after they opened, we had the place to ourselves. For a strip mall location, it was surprisingly nice inside, kind of boho rustic.

.

.

And the cocktails were next level good.

I felt right at home with chickens over my shoulder.

.

.

And we discovered their menus are seasonal as well as locally sourced.

.

.

Everything was fresh and utterly fabulous.

My mini beef Wellington appetizer melted in my mouth.

.

Husband’s garlic and white wine mussels with saffron butter, chorizo and pine nuts were huge and flavorful .

.

.

Naturally we sat at the bar.

.

And naturally my husband made a friend.

My cast iron chicken with mushrooms, mashed potatoes and a lemon thyme gravy was amazing and after a recommendation from the owner … who claimed they had the best pork anyone had ever tasted…

Husband had the best pork chop he’s ever tasted, bar none.

Perfectly prepared, the chop was massive. Hard to tell from the photo but it was easily 2 inches thick. Cider brined, grilled with a char but tender and juicy inside. Topped with caramelized onions and Honeycrisp apples and served with fresh green beans and butternut squash puree.

It wasn’t an inexpensive meal, but damn. It was perfect.
