Deconstructed BLT: Pork Belly, Soft-Poached Egg, Onion Bread Pudding, Watercress Espuma and Tomato Jam – $7.25

The pork belly is very tough to cut. It also has mustard seeds on it. It’s very dry, crunchy, and unmarinated, making it the weakest part of the dish. The onion bread pudding is delicious and you get a good amount of that onion flavor throughout the whole thing. It’s nice and soft on the inside, but has a slight crispiness on the outside. The egg was cooked well and perfectly runny. The rest of the dish was delicious, but the pork belly was overcooked, which proved distracting from the rest of the dish. We rate this a 5 out of 7.

Deconstructed Key Lime Pie: Flexible Key Lime Curd, “Key Lime” Mousse, Graham Cracker Cake and Meringues – $6.50

This was top tier. A perfect balance of tart and sweetness, and the presentation allows you to distribute ingredients as you wish. The cake is moist and flavorful, a highlight for us. You get a nice serving size, and it also takes a great photo. We rate this a 7 out of 7.

Deconstructed Strawberry Mint Julep: Frozen Mint and Simple Syrup Blended with Strawberry Purée (Non-Alcoholic) – $4.75

Upon the first sip, without squeezing in the strawberry syrup from the pipette, the initial flavor that stands out is pure, overwhelming mint. After adding the strawberry, the beverage changes to something overwhelmingly sweet. This one is a pass for us. We’d give it a 2 out of 7.

Wicked Weed Brewing Blank Canvas Belgian Blonde Witbier, Asheville, NC (4.8% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.

From correspondence with Wicked Weed Brewing, this beer is “hazy white, with a white head… Blank Canvas is a Belgian inspired Wit beer brewed with coriander, chamomile, orange peel, and grapefruit. Malted wheat gives this beer its distinct mouthfeel and smoothness.”

Deconstructed Strawberry Mint Julep with Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon ($18/bottle) – $12.00

The added bourbon makes this mint julep better and more authentic than its non-alcoholic version, though we still find it to be a bit too syrupy-sweet. We’d give it a 4 out of 7.
