What’s your fave local dish starring a humble root veg?
“Charleen Badman and Pavle Milic at FnB turned my younger self on to roasted parsnips in the way back, and I don’t think anyone in town pretends to wield greater mastery over root vegetables than those two. On the menu this fall: grilled carrots with harissa mayo and dukka.”
— Craig Outhier, editor
“The potato purée at Bourbon Steak is transcendent – seemingly equal parts potato and butter. I also love the ember-roasted purple yams at Tía Carmen, the churrasco fingerlings at Toro, and the grilled carrots and roasted fennel with romesco on the F&A veg board at Federal Pizza.”
— Leah LeMoine, managing editor
“Tender cubes of potato are my favorite part of any soup or curry – warming for the palate and the soul! A few local faves: the cream of leek, potato and Stilton soup from Cornish Pasty Co.; potato-cream cheese soup from Wildflower; yellow curry from Thai Basil; and aloo gobhi mutter from Marigold Maison.”
— Madison Rutherford, associate editor
“I’ve never met a potato dish I didn’t love! But this time, I’m going with someplace in my neighborhood and something I’ve never picked before: the potato and cheese pierogi from A Touch of European Café. They’re so creamy, savory and comforting. I could eat them forever!”
— Mirelle Inglefield, art director
“‘Tis the season for soup! I love the caldo de pollo from Don Pancho Mexican Food in Avondale. The corn, potatoes and chicken with veggies in a homemade broth is perfect for the cooler weather.”
— Angelina Aragon, managing art director
