| Alkaline noodles w spicy almond sauce, braised burdock, greens & crispy beef brisket - 2 J's comment > not bad; Burdock's play on the chinese Dan Dan noodles; sauce good, but a tad too thick (that is the general idea of the Dan Dan noodles, but I prefer my sauce a bit more soupy); noodles very bouncy; brisket crispy yet also juicy, very well done on this point |

| Sourdough w La Pyramide cheese, fir tip honey - 2 J's comment > not bad; honey and cheese both good on their own, but together didn't quite meld as effortlessly as I remember from the last dinner; needs a few more pieces of sourdough for the amt of cheese and honey provided, but the pieces on the dish were good, lightly toasted, still crisp despite being drowned in honey |
 |
| Slow roasted bison ribs, spicy tomato glaze, tahini yogurt, charred green onion - 2 J's comment > very tender meat, falls off the bone; not gamey, but not as juicy as beef or pork as bison is inherently leaner; loved the yogurt, but would have liked more to dip the ribs through; glaze was OK, thankfully not the 'avg BBQ sauce', but the yogurt sealed the deal |
 |
| Blackberry and frozen rose honey meringue float w blueberry scone - 2 J's comment > not bad; float was intriguing and more flavorful than the avg root beer float; loved the fizz/foam on top that had strong berry notes; 'scone' unfortunately was more like a glorified but not as sweet pop tart |
 |
| Baked to order salted chocolate chunk cookies w smoked malted milk - 2 J's comment > not bad; freshly baked as promised, but just doesn't compare to Pourhouse's cookies; milk was smoky, but not malty; cookies taste best after dunking in the milk |
