“I pass Highland Kitchen every day on the way to work.”
“It’s really good…we should go Saturday.”
“Really? It’s good?”
That was the conversation my wife had with one of our
friends. So yes, we went to the Highland
Kitchen on Saturday. Cathy and I have
been a few times, and have never been disappointed. Last Saturday was no exception.
Admittedly, it looks kinda divey on the outside. However, the inside is very nice, lots of wood,
a big blackboard on one of the walls that gives all of the specials, and a well
stocked bar. They also happen to play
really good music. Best of all – for me,
anyway – a gluten free menu, gluten free beer, and very good food.
Usually, four or five of their appetizers are gluten free,
but I decided to go with their always gluten free vegetable soup.
For dinner, I went with one of the specials, which was pork
short ribs. The meat was just barely
holding on the bone…it was cooked beautifully.
It came with Kale and roast potatoes, both of which were also done
great.
Our friend got the half roast
chicken, which also happens to be gluten free.
The chicken – which I have had several times - is tender, full of
flavor, and very juicy. It comes with a
side of sweet potato hash. I am not a
huge sweet potato fan, but I happen to really like this side dish. I will try to make this in the future.
For dessert, all three of us shared chocolate pudding with
whipped cream on top. The pudding was
nice and thick, much, much better than anything you would get in a container at
the store. And really…isn’t everything
better with whipped cream?
“Wow, I never would have thought this place would be this
good!”
Well, you can’t judge the book by looking at the cover, and you
can’t judge the Highland Kitchen by looking at the outside.
And to prove the point, watch this...
