]]>I ordered the Short Rib Hash ($15) and side of Breakfast Potatoes ($3) because I was HUNGRY!!! Oh, and a GIANT Pomegranate/Grapefruit mimosa.
Here’s the description of the hash:
Braised Prather Ranch short rib hash, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, golden yams, 2 eggs, horseradish, creme fraiche, au jus
When my dish came, I was very surprised. I guess in my head I was envisioning a big plate of hash – lots of veggies, potatoes/etc with bits of short rib… you know, like corned beef hash but with short rib. This dish was definitely a very modern interpretation – everything was purposefully placed, it looked so delicate and neat (see below). After a half of a nanosecond I got over my “non-hash” surprise and broke the egg yolks and started mixing everything around. No time to eat like a sophisticated human being after waiting over an hour… lol. This freaking dish was so AWESOME my plate was cleaned and wiped dry within minutes.
I ended up glopping forkfuls of the short rib and eggs onto the bread and eating it that way. The (Acme) bread didn’t last long… then I ended up dipping my potatoes in it. Overall the dish was very excellent. So good that there was not even any liquid left in the bottom of the plate/bowl. The meat was tender and juicy and a little bit smokey, just perfect! I admit I was disappointed there weren’t more potatoes/veggies since it was supposed to be a hash… only got 1/2 piece of 1 brussel sprout (cut into 2 pieces), 2 tiny cubes of sweet potato and some onions. Oh well. It was good anyway, hehe.
The breakfast potatoes: these potatoes were A-MAZING!!! I accidentally yelled “OMG!” after I took the first bite!! They were crispy and hot and salty, buttery with dill sprinkled around. The crispiness of these potatoes were what made them amazing and addictive! I didn’t care that I was already full from eating the entire bowl of short rib hash, I needed to finish this bowl of potatoes. I swear to the gods I could eat a bowl of these potatoes at every meal for the rest of my life! And guess who much this bowl of potatoes cost? $3, yay!

]]>Everytime I go to the Salt House I end up ordering Poutin. Poutin is basically fancy disco fries – aka a pile of thick cut french fries covered in fontina cheese then covered in short rib gravy. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I DO NOT like to share this (but I do anyway because I’m nice). The short rib gravy is not a thick and heavy, it’s a lighter gravy with big chunks of short rib… SO GOOD, and they put it on top of the fries tableside.
If there were no such thing as calories and fat and being slightly lactose intolerant, I would eat Poutin everyday. I don’t understand those people on Yelp and Citysearch who talk sh*t on this dish, it’s seriously the BOMB. I love french fries, I could eat them everyday… and coming from a PA/NJ diner girl where disco fries were born, I have to say these are AWESOME.
Poutin gets disco fries ALL THE WAY, BABY!
