Born & Raised

My wife and I went to Born & Raised this past Saturday evening and we had a wonderful meal. The cocktails (Fumando a los 40 and The Baker’s Park) were fantastic. The Fumando was refreshing and bright with a pleasant smokey undertone from the mezcal. The Baker’s was tart and fruity but with an herbal tilt. We had the shishitto peppers for our app and they were a vivid green, with a moderate heat, complimented by a creamy ricotta. For my main course I chose the pork chop schnitzel. It was cooked to perfection. Crispy, savory, and juicy. Accompanied by a sauerkraut with a tad of sweetness, and a delicious gribiche that rounded out the meal and had me scraping up every bit of sauce and leftover crumb. Any mid-continent Küchenchef would be pleased. My wife had the Pastrami sandwich which she called “The best reuben sandwich I’d ever had.” “The Fries” 2.0 were also enjoyed with wild abandon, and they did not disappoint. The only minor complaint was that the peppers were slightly under-seasoned and took a while to arrive, however the delay was remedied by some complimentary biscuits! Will dine again!

Great food And great service
