Five Finds on Friday: Collins Huff
by Charlottesville29
Today’s Five Finds on Friday come from Collins Huff of Gryffon’s Aerie, the Crozet farm that now has its own food truck at Pro Re Nata Farm Brewery. Gryffon’s Aerie at PRN serves signature burgers and bar food made from the farm’s Devon beef and other local sources. Tonight, April 27, they’ll be serving up po’ boys with Virginia oysters. Huff’s picks:
1) Aged Prosciutto at Lampo. “Sliced on their Berkel Heritage meat slicer. The blade on this hand-powered marvel turns slower, thus cooler, and allows the exquisite fat to render on your tongue, not on the blade.”
2) Albacore Sushi by Toma at Foods of All Nations. “This humble warrior is a Samurai when it comes to his craft. This is my go-to fast lunch when I have to be in town. Try the Albacore. It’s always super fresh.”
3) Scrapple at Ace Biscuit & Barbecue. “Where I come from, we call it ponhorse. Whatever you call it, Brian’s version is unique and awesome.”
4) Hot Dog from JM Stock Provisions. “Alex and the team make these weekly from local meats. It just so happens you can get one at Gryffon’s Aerie at PRN, topped with Farmstead Ferments classic kraut braised in beer. I understand it pairs well with Pro Re Nata’s session Pilsner.”
5) Revolving Ceviche at RockSalt. “Travis Croxton’s team changes it up and gets it right every time.”
