I want to come back to Barley Swine just to eat these from dinner one night. We sandwiched it with succulent shrimp, a house hot sauce, and fresh herbs for a bit of brightness. The bun was crispy but fluffy in the center. However, I believe the shrimp dumpling, hot sauce, fried bun, herbs was both mine and <3M’s favorite dish of the evening. It was definitely in the running for my favorite dish. I loved the hint of green chile in the foam, the crunch of the grain, and the surprise sweetness from the blueberries. The tomato, blueberry, grains green chile mousse dish was our third course at Barley Swine. This reminded me of an inside out tamale or a chile rellano with the masa on the inside and a perfectly light, crispy crunch on the outside. This was like a savory panna cotta and the blue grab was light and fresh. To start was this blue crab, marigold, green bean course. Here’s a look at our meal highlights, though to be honest, every dish was STELLAR. This usually means we end up with slightly different menus but mostly the same. For him: no mushrooms, celery, or ‘animals with fins’ and for me: nothing with four feet. I was nervous more so for <3M because while we are foodies, we have very specific and different tastes. Going into the meal, I was a bit hesitant looking at our tasting menu. If you’re not up for a cocktail, Barley Swine also has a few tempting mocktail options to try on their new summer menu. A Day at the Races with tequila, rhubarb, jasmine, orange blossom, and lemon for me and Aces are High with bourbon, pasubio vino amaro, rosemary, and peychauds for <3M. We started the evening with a round of cocktails. So, as a way for us to take a break from the grind, I made a surprise reserdation for us to celebrate Christmas in July at Barley Swine (it was also our engagement anniversary, which is why you see ‘happy anniversary’ on the menu below). But lately, we’ve both been working a lot - him taking late-night calls with his team oversea, and me, who continues working even when I get home which has limited our quality time together. It’s a tradition for <3M and I to go to Barley Swine on Christmas Eve for their tasting menu. If you do one thing this summer, experience this seasonal menu. Barley Swine’s summer tasting menu just might be the best meal I’ve ever had.
