For our December adventure, we worked our way back into a reasonable commute and stopped by Mayberry. Not only was the short drive a pleasure, the dinner was one of the best we’ve ever had. Needless to say, Mayberry will likely be in the running for a repeat when we get to meal 100!

The menu was very limited (only 6 small plates), but somehow it was extremely hard to decide what to order. According to our server, the menu changes every week, so I guess we’ll need to go back often.

Since we all ordered a variety of small plates, there was no order to the meal. Every time something came out, the lucky recipient had nothing but good things to say. While everything was excellent, a few highlights included the amazing beet salad and roasted pear plates.

The salmon was also very good and perfectly cooked. The short ribs and pork belly were also among the best dishes in FDWC history. Michael believes the radish cake was potentially ‘the best taste ever’.

The only thing that could potential top the small plate wonders were the sides. The mac n cheese (with ‘several quarts of heavy cream’) and the tater tot casserole left us licking the bowls.

Before we left, we managed to squeeze in a few desserts including a carmel apple with knife as the stick and some incredible peanut butter cookies.

Do yourself a favor and head down to Mayberry as soon as possible. Just make sure you don’t bring a big group…there isn’t much room inside!
