We to lunch with one of my work friends while in DC for a work conference.
She took me to Vermillion, a place across the street from the yarn store she works at (Fiber Space - which is fantastic!), Old Town Alexandria.
My eyes immediately went to the beet salad and Pimento Cheese Burger. Hello! Pimento Cheese Burger - Need I say more! And to top it off it's served with an egg over easy slapped on top. I feel very confident in saying that you could not have gone wrong with any of the items on the menu!
The atmosphere: Comfortable, shabby-sheik, a little dark in an old brick building - I loved it! Lesley said that she usually enjoys the (gourmet) pub apps with a pint in the evenings with her knitting group...something to look forward to when I go back! Oh...and I will be back!
Pimento Cheese Burger
The beef patty was perfectly cooked to my order (medium) and perfectly seasoned. I could have eaten the patty by itself, but, who in their right mind would leave the pimento cheese alone?!
Beet Salad with Fried Feta Cheese Squares
Roasted golden and red beets with a painted smear of what tasted like raspberry-beets! The crunch of the feta cheese topped it off!
Check the menu out online at http://www.vermilionrestaurant.com to get ideas for your next creation! I know I will!
