On Fridays, we feature five food finds from local chefs and personalities. Today’s picks come from Josh Lowry, sous chef of Zocalo (and earlier this week Zy.De.Co.) Lowry’s picks:
1) Thai Beef Consomme Noodle Bowl at Pad Thai. “Rich, brothy, crunchy, sweet, sour, savory. It’s everything in a bowl…the best!”
2) Pastrami and Swiss on an Onion Bagel with mustard at Bodo’s. “We are extremely lucky to have a place like this in Charlottesville. Let’s not take it for granted.”
3) The Classic #1 at Chick-fil-A. “My all-time favorite restaurant. When I was a kid they always had sweet old ladies out front with free chicken samples. I always walked by a second time for another free taste…they almost always let me.”
4) Dan Dan Noodles at Taste of China. “I know most folks have gone over to Peter Chang’s new spot but this is my go-to. Again, Charlottesville is lucky to have a place like this.”
5. Burrata at Tavola. “If you haven’t been…go!”
