Two for Tuesdays: Nick Hine
Note: This post is part of our guest series, The Corner, with assistance from digital media students at The University of Virginia. Today’s student contributor is Hajung Yoo.
Tuesdays during The Corner series feature two favorite Corner food items selected by a different University figure each week. Today’s picks come from Nick Hine, Chair of the University of Virginia Honor Committee. A Fourth Year who once studied abroad in China, Nick looks back on his experiences on the Corner to share his picks:
1) Sichuan Spicy Beef Noodle at Ginkgo Chinese. “Whenever I’m feeling nostalgic – or one of my friends is feeling adventurous – I’ll head to Ginkgo for the authentic Sichuan food. “The Sichuan Spicy Beef Noodle is my go-to. It’s a noodle soup dish full of beef, bok choy, and numbing Sichuan peppercorns.”
2) Beef Pho at Lemongrass. “I’m clearly a sucker for good Asian soup dishes. Lemongrass only serves pho from 9-5 on the weekend – I’ve never figured out why it’s not served all week, but I try to get it for lunch every Sunday. You get a plate full of herbs and sauces with every order, but the broth is incredibly flavorful on its own and the noodles are always perfectly done. It’s a great, underrated comfort food – even better once the temperature drops.”
