Highland Kitchen dinner

[bex77]

We had a marvelous dinner at Highland Kitchen, the Southern cooking place on Highland Ave. near City Hall. http://www.myspace.com/highlandkitchen


It has a great split personality, half "bar food" and half gourmet treats from a serious chef, all fabulous.

Their free fresh sourdough bread and butter is divine.

We tried several of their blackboard specials:

Heirloom tomato gazpacho (completely pureed, spicy red mixture, tasted like a Bloody Mary)
Chicken nuggets with Medjool date sauce
Grilled chorizo and shrimp skewers over fried green tomatoes with remoulade sauce

Then a couple of favorite on the menu
Deviled eggs
Pappardelle pasta with bolognese sauce


You can tell with the first bite that they have a "serious chef" who thinks about every ingredient and how they taste together. And it makes me want to eat every bite, and go back soon for more.

Was that your first time there?

No, about the third or fourth time for dinner, I think. And twice for brunch. But it's so good, seemed like it's worth mentioning again.

According to the maitre d' Somerville's own mayor dines there at least once a week.

Yes, it seems to be a "happenin' place." There were some folks there last night prepping for the Senator Kerry town meeting thing down the street...

I keep on meaning to eat there.

Thanks for the inspiration.
