the best thing I ate today - 5/1

Tonight I had the pleasure of dining with my husband and good friend Amy at the Hearty Boys' new restaurant, Hearty. To decide what was the best thing I ate, is most certainly a challenge, because everything each of us ate from top to bottom was scrumptious, including the service and a visit to the table from celebrity chef Dan Smith. But alas, the best thing I ate was my entree, the beefaroni, which was pulled braised short ribs, elbow macaroni, roasted squash and shallots in a merlot reduction so addictive that I thought about asking if they could box-up the leftover sauce for me so I could freeze it into ice cubes and cook with it. Hearty Boys, I heart you.
