Five Finds on Friday: Karen Fiedler
Today’s Five Finds on Friday come from Karen Fiedler, chef of Tin Whistle Pub, among ten restaurants competing in tomorrow’s Soupapalooza charity event at Commonwealth Restaurant & Skybar, from 12 pm until 4 pm. A $10 ticket buys guests tasting-size samplings of all of the entrants’ soups, including restaurants like Clifton Inn, Public Fish & Oyster, and Parallel 38. Guest also receive happy hour specials and a full bowl of their favorite of the soups. Tin Whistle’s entries will be Nantucket Clam Chowder and Mole Cactus Andouille. Purchase tickets here. Fiedler’s picks:
1) Tacos de Lengua at El Tesoro Mexican Deli. “El Tesoro is a small family owned restaurant in Palmyra. The tongue tacos are incredibly tender and authentic.”
2) Crispy Duck Confit Leg and Sweet Potato Waffles at Rapture. “Wonderful take on a southern classic. Skin was perfectly crispy and the meat moist and tender. I love sweet potatoes, and the waffles were a perfect accompaniment.”
3) Dakota Bread from Great Harvest Bread Company. “Right balance of wholesome with a touch of sweet. Filling and perfect breakfast toast.”
4) Chocolate Croissant from MarieBette Cafe & Bakery. “Can’t go wrong with any of their pastries, but the classic French croissant is one of the best.”
5) Kinda Vegan Burger at Citizen Burger Bar. “While I love meat, I appreciate a place that can make a great vegetarian/vegan burger, and this is one that I want to stuff my face into.”
