When my sister-in-law recently told me about a relatively new Worcester restaurant that offers all local fare, I was intrigued, to say the least. Heck, I base my whole column, Fresh Foodie, on championing local, whole foods. So I hopped over to Armsby Abbey‘s website to check out the goods.
Yeah, it’s about the beer, but that’s never a bad thing. The cheese plates, homemade pizzas and unique salads are mouth-watering, and I’ll share what I’ll be ordering the next time we ditch the kid and get a date night:
I’ll be starting with the West Coast Slate with the recommended Green Flash West Coast IPA. This cheese slate includes artisan goat cheese, blue cheese and Carmody, a hard, buttery cheese; champagne grapes, home-baked breads, roasted pistachios, salami, honey and raspberry preserves round out the selection.
What? Not drooling yet?
Following that cheese plate up will be the fried green tomato salad, marinated in soy lime marinade with a sweet corn and red pepper salsa and chevre crostini.
Armsby Abbey also has artisan stoned pizzas, but seeing as I don’t eat wheat and I just enjoyed some home-baked breads with my cheese plate, I’ll forgo the pizza. OK, I’ll have a bite of Keith’s. Just a bite.
