Today we are back again with the Saturday Food post, mostly restaurants but we will venture off occasionally to home cooking and more. And to ensure even better and more consistent reporting TLT has hired a food critic. We will be joined by the FC in just two weeks. But, there will be an introduction next Thursday.
We rejoin the Saturday Food Post with the Bird’s Nest in Nashville, Indiana. It is a courtyard space with outdoor and indoor seating, a separate building with a bar and a coffee bar. It is not fancy and a bit worn but the food, wow. Excellent. It is open for lunch, dinner occasionally and breakfast. We were there for breakfast. Jill had a waffle that was way better than you would expect a waffle to be, with a honey-lavender sauce lemon ricotta cheese. Boring Dave - who will be sure to disappoint our new food critic, ordered hash browns, eggs, bacon and toast, along with coffee, of course. (It was superb.) The food was so well prepared that if they had just taken a moment to present the meal more attractively on the plate we would have been anticipating the tasty dish before we got to actually take a bite. It is a busy place and long lines (we were told) on dinner nights and lunches too. I expect we will be back to the Bird’s Nest on another visit to Carin and Evan in nearly Bloomington. Great spot in a very neat town.
Over our booth!
