PW At the Memphis Taproom
Posted by Foobooz on June 11th, 2008
Adam Erace wants to like the Memphis Taproom but he just can’t get excited about the food, except for maybe the king rarebit.
[Chef Jesse] Kimball tops the browned toast with two sunny-side-up pastured eggs (gracias, Green Meadow Farms) dusted with Turkish aleppo pepper and Old Peculiar ale gravy sharpened with cheddar.
Pierced, the yolks spill into the fondue, mingling in a brown-and-yellow slurry that doesn’t look pretty but tastes rich and satisfying. The king rarebit is the kind of sustenance that’ll set you right after a long night in the company of Sly Foxes and the PBC, something the Memphis menu will need once the Port Fishington buzz wears off.
