The Wild Fork

Judy and I met Victoria for lunch at The Wild Fork in Utica Square this week. The weather has been so nice we had hoped to sit outside on the patio but apparently we weren't the only ones with that idea! But sitting inside is always nice to be able to check out their latest local art collection and because the tables are so close you can easily check out what your neighbors have ordered too. The service here is always very good and our waiter was no exception. The menu here is a range of salads, sandwiches and entrees in unusual flavor pairings and interesting sides.

Judy and I both had the Roasted Chicken Salad that comes on a bed of fresh spinach and is generously sprinkled with walnuts and bleu cheese crumbles. (I am definitely getting my "bleu cheese" fix this week, check out the Louie's blog, too.) The chicken salad is shredded white and dark meat mixed with a light mayo with celery, peppers and capers. This has a nice roasted taste with a bit of pepper to it that blends really well with the bleu cheese, which I think is a little unexpected. Victoria had the mahi mahi special with roasted vegetables that looked very good as well.

I often have the Mediterranean Burger, Greek seasoned hamburger served on flatbread with feta cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and a creamy vinaigrette. This has a ton of flavor and really highlights the saltiness of the feta with the flatbread and the beef. This comes with their warm German potato salad or their spicy jalapeno coleslaw. I also really enjoy their Onion Strings served in a full or half order, the half order is usually more than enough to share with a table of four! These are very thinly sliced onions lightly battered and fried and served warm. I prefer them with ranch dressing. They are super crisp but keep a lot of their good onion flavor.

If you are looking for an unusual twist to some classics I recommend you give The Wild Fork a try. I think there are lots of choices here for any palate and hopefully you can enjoy the patio and soak in the air at Utica Square.
