New developments
The local restaurant pool just keeps getting bigger, foodies. Welcome, Burger Oasis. The Woodbrook Shopping Center spot serves, as you’d expect, burgers and fries, plus tasty desserts like strawberry shortcake.
Across the street, The Brick Oven in Rio Hill Shopping Center recently reopened its doors under new ownership and down the road in Barracks Road Shopping Center, Slice now delivers.
Further south on Route 151 in Afton, The Blue Toad Pub hops into the former D’Ambola’s space with a funny name and promises of a pub to come in early September. Find burgers, hot dogs and a corn dog on the menu, plus sides like sweet potato wedges and french fries.
’Mater delicious
You say “tomato,” we say, “when and where?” That was the case last week, when we attended Rapture’s latest in a string of prix fixe meals. The Tomato Dinner, prepared by chef Chris Humphrey, featured five courses highlighting the summer fruit. The braised pork shoulder over gruyere grits was a particular stand-out, but each plate was a pleasant surprise. A special thanks to the restaurant for the invitation.
