Five Finds on Friday: Dylan Allwood
by Charlottesville29
On Fridays, we feature five finds selected by local chefs and personalities. Today’s picks come from Dylan Allwood, sous chef of Brookville Restaurant, which this week introduced a lunch menu, as well as mid-afternoon hours for drinks and their “Munchies” menu. Allwood’s picks:
1) Gambas al’ parilla at Mas. “Everything that Tomas and his team come up with is delicious, but I have to get these giant shrimp with garlic aioli whenever I go.”
2) Fried Chicken at Wayside. “Wayside’s chicken is always juicy and crispy – everything that I want in fried chicken. I love dipping it in the mashed potatoes and gravy. I hit this spot up on my days off for lunch – a little more often than I should.”
3) Whiskey on the patio at Miller’s. “My cooks and I always go for a drink after the brunch shift. It’s my favorite place to sit and relax after a stressful week in the kitchen.”
4) Hell Sandwich at BBQ Exchange. “I have known Chef Craig for a few years and he is always trying to get me to try his latest hot sauce experiments. The hell sandwich is painful to eat, but I end up ordering one almost every time we make the hike to Gordonsville.”
5) Foie Gras at Ivy Inn. “If I see foie on a menu I have to get it. Chef Angelo’s foie dishes are some of the best I’ve had.”
