Five Finds on Friday: Dylan Allwood
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.”
