lunch
One thing I love about summer is that I can go eat at the tasty- but expensive- places where I want to eat for lunch, when they are less expensive. I've checked two places off my list recently in that manner: last week, Christina and I ate at Watershed and today, Amy Mo and I ate at JCT Kitchen.Honestly, I was a little underwhelmed by Watershed. We started off with an appetizer of butter bean hummus with a homemade pita and crudités. This was my favorite part. Christina had a pork sandwich that she really enjoyed, while I had salmon croquettes with some side item. It clearly was not memorable. The salmon croquettes were less than excellent. I was disappointed.
Today was a different story. Amy and I started with deviled eggs, topped with country ham that, to my undiscriminating palate, was hard to differentiate from prosciutto. They were quite tasty (though not as good as the ones at Cakes and Ale). Amy had the springer mountain fried chicken, with green beans and mac and cheese. My bite was yummy. I had the shrimp and grits. They weren't the best shrimp and grits I've ever had (the winner for that still goes to Crooks Corner in Carrboro, NC), but they were really, really good and I would definitely eat them again.
It was all so good that we were so full that we even passed up cupcakes from Star Provisions afterwards.

What a great idea! So fun that you are getting to check off some of the places during the day and cheaper prices. Then you can know if you'd ever want to go back or recommend to others for the full price. I agree on the Watershed comment, been at least twice and haven't really understood what all the fanfare was about.
