Change is hard

closest thing to a veggie plate on Watershed's menu

“What’s seasonal vegetable farroto?” I asked our server.  I was hoping farroto meant veggie plate. This was good: farro with a cream sauce over barely wilted kale with nice peas, over-roasted cauliflower and assorted ‘shrooms. And a perfect small lunch portion. But it’s not this.

“I don’t like change,” said my lunch colleague, who was looking for the salmon croquettes on the new menu, which seemed to me to have a lot of  fried seafood. (I never liked those salmon croquettes anyway. My own are better.) But honestly, the new chef wasn’t doing very well with the old menu. And Farm Burger next door is eating their lunch. It has a line out the door while Watershed sits almost empty.

 

Hot vegetable plate

green beans, fried okra, field peas, sliced tomatoes, creamed corn, corn muffin. $14 at Watershed

Maybe Scott Peacock was on vacation

Not Watershed's best effort. The tomatoes were great, and actually this color. Cabbage mush, undercooked cauliflower and "butter"beans (those big tan things), decent sweet potatoes, the usual eggy muffin. I may try something different next time.

Guess where I had lunch today?

Go ahead and tell me how jealous you are

Squash, butter(lima)beans, sliced tomato, field peas, fried okra. Watershed's hot vegetable plate of happiness.

Taking veggie plate to a whole new level

 

I navigated downed trees, closed roads and malfunctioning traffic lights to get to this vegetable plate at Watershed today. Those big butterbeans, rutabagas, collards, fried cauliflower, roasted tomato, corn muffin. With apologies to the stunning nightly dinner plate photos at http://kylecrawford.blogspot.com.
