18 Seaboard
Where to start with this one is the hard part…This trip to 18 Seaboard had me wanting more. I don’t know if it was the main part of the meal or the accompaniment that was the best part. On the menu it’s listed as the Cracklin Pork Shank (with blue chees grits), so naturally I was intrigued (loving blue cheese and being from the south). The pork shank sat on top of a bed of blue cheese grits with a layer of spinach between. It was topped with an apple-onion compote. This was a large meal I must say, I’ll also say I couldn’t stop.
The shank was cracklin, crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside almost like slow roasted and seared at the same time. The grits were creamy with chunks of blue cheese. This dish was hard to push away. Luckily I didn’t have any appetizers and I was able to finish most of this. I could easily eat this again and if you think it sounds good, wait until you try it.
