Sushi and salad together… why not?  Brown’s says they list it on their menu twice because they “think it’s that good”.  What they’re referring to is their sushi roll and Cowboy Salad combo for $14.  And for what you get (picture below) we say that’s great value.

 Intrigued by the sound of the Chili Lime Edamame, we decided to try a plate.  Instead of the normal sea salt that usually gets thrown on top, these pods had a light seasoning of chili, lime juice and togorashi. Describe the dish in as few words as possible? Zesty Orangey-lime Explosion. We loved this dish for the big flavour that isn’t typical to vegetarian dishes. See picture of Zesty Orangey-Lime Explosion below.

A combination of comfort-food-cravings and a desire to have some kind of measure against other restaurants made me order the rather common shrimp-pesto pizza. Called “The Biltmore”, it advertised fresh pesto, tender shrimp, sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese. 

In supermarket items, ingredients are listed in the order of predominance in the dish.  If this was applied to the Biltmore Pizza, that ingredient list would be reversed.  There was enough cheese on this pizza to make Elvis ask for leftovers.  Sparse amounts of sundried tomatoes, shrimp, and pesto weren’t enough to make this dish memorable. Typically I love this flavour combination – but not in the ratios that Brown’s used. This one needs a bit more work.

We Woulda-Shoulda-Coulda ordered the Chocolate Pecan Pie with Whip Cream for dessert. Any restaurant that even lists that dish deserves a good review. Overall Brown’s was a good experience, and I’m looking forward to a visit in the near future!
