I don’t usually post my own food, but I made four pizzas tonight and I’m really happy with all of them. Clockwise from top left: sautéed mushroom melange with taleggio and black truffle; Brussels sprouts with salami and pickled shallots; combination pizza (mushroom, pepperoni, green pepper, mozzarella); caramelized broccoli and red onion. Top two are white sauce, bottom two are red sauce.
Stopped by @curdiologist because there isn’t much else to do in Love Valley, NJ. This is also probably the most traveling and eating I’ll do for a while. Picked up some pieces of the tartuffo, smokey shepherd, Szechuan, and Valley Thunder clothbound cheddar. All are excellent.
Ride recovery. Follow me for more cycling tips.
Stopped at @whiteducktacohvl to kill some time before our cabin is ready and to also get out of the rain. Lunch was bulgogi beef tacos with house-made kimchi, Bangkok shrimp tacos, Thai peanut chicken, and jerk chicken tacos. Top notch.
Back on our first night in Asheville, we needed something quick and filling, so we hit up @mellowmushroomasheville. Outdoor seating, spaced well, and lots of carbs. We got their local Thai Dye pizza (with curried chicken, cucumbers, and Thai chili sauce) and the Holy Shiitake (variety of mushrooms, caramelized onions, garlic aioli swirl, black truffle oil) and some spinach artichoke dip to make sure we got plenty of vegetables. I know it’s a chain, but it’s a damn good one.
Dinner tonight was a mess o’ BBQ thanks to Hawg Wild BBQ here in Brevard. I got a three meat combo of western pork (with a tomato-based sauce), eastern pork (vinegar-based) and beef. It came with fries, hushpuppies, and slaw. We also tacked on an order of fried pickles and of course had a @brevard_brewing_co Pilsner and Red Ale. Refueling: complete.
