On Fridays, we feature five food finds from local chefs and personalities. Today’s picks come from Josh Lowry, sous chef of Zocalo (and earlier this week Zy.De.Co.) Lowry’s picks:
1) Thai Beef Consomme Noodle Bowl at Pad Thai. “Rich, brothy, crunchy, sweet, sour, savory. It’s everything in a bowl . . . the best!”
2) Pastrami and Swiss on an Onion Bagel with mustard at Bodo’s. “We are extremely lucky to have a place like this in Charlottesville. Let’s not take it for granted.”
3) The Classic #1 at Chick-fil-A. “My alltime favorite restaurant. When I was a kid they always had sweet old ladies out front with free chicken samples. I always walked by a second time for another free taste . . . they almost always let me.”
4) Dan Dan Noodles at Taste of China. “I know most folks have gone over to Peter Chang’s new spot but this is my go-to. Again, Charlottesville is lucky to have a place like this.”
5. Burrata at Tavola. “If you haven’t been . . . go!”
