Happy Birthday to the Boys

Voted one of Virginia's best restaurants, Local Roots is an amazing farm to table experience that never fails to deliver the ultimate culinary experience. This trip was no exception. As we celebrated the boys' birthdays and our anniversary the staff made us feel as if they had created the evening's fare just for us (and invited other guests to partake). Sheer perfection with every bite, a sensory orgy in every way and the quintessential foodie experience, we all felt that this must be heaven on earth. Thank you Matthew Lintz, executive chef, and Alex Tyree, sous chef, for yet another fabulous evening. Happy birthday, boys! Love you both! Love celebrating your birthdays every year at Local Roots! Smooch!!!
My new favorite drink, The Ginger...Maker's Mark, Cointreau, fresh ginger, orange.... SMOOTH!
Yes, even the flowers are edible on this artisanal cheese plate with accoutrements.
Polyface Farms rabbit on a bed of antebellum corn grits with sea island peas, pickled ramps and smoked apple. Bet you can't guess who ordered that!
Somewhere underneath all those accoutrements is some delicious swordfish with potato-turnip purée (ramps, roasted mushrooms, heirloom carrots).
Scallops, sweet potato, spicy Asian greens, Pink Lady Apple and radish.
Carolina Bison Steak with creamed greens, confit sunchoke, roasted onion and Yukon Gold Poato.
