Ad Hoc: Fried Chicken Night 9/6/2010

We ate at Ad Hoc back in September (yeah last year, WHAT OF IT), and luckily we had reserved fried chicken night! I think we made the reservation about 3 months in advance. We had to change the number of spots from 4 to 5 a few weeks before and they were very accommodating about that.

In a nutshell: Best dining experience ever. Keep in mind we’re pretty much poor college students, so a $50 meal at Ad Hoc is kind of a big deal! And, it was so worth it. Onto the food!

Palladin toast and butter. Delicious toast, that’s all I can say. The bread was continuously replaced during dinner.

The French Laundry Garden Heirloom Tomato Salad: Easily the best salad any of us had eaten. We loved the bacon crumbles. If ad hoc began to bottle the bacon crumbles up and sell it, we’d be on that so fast.

Famous Buttermilk Fried Chicken. Oh, yes. Everything you’ve ever heard about it is true.

Sides: Brentwood corn on the cob, red bliss potato salad

Cheese plate: Bellwether Farm’s Carmody, yellow peaches, baby chioggia beets, toasted cashews.

Chocolate bread pudding with apple butter. It was actually the first time Kim and I had bread pudding!
