点评:On a Saturday date night, the Fat Man and his wife headed into Lexington to try a new place. We landed on Leestown Road at Thoroughbreds Restaurant. Thoroughbreds have been in business for over 40 years, serving home-cooked Kentucky comfort foods on a rotating specials menu.
We started with some Mahi Fingers and homemade tarter sauce. The tartar sauce was thick and creamy, with a great taste. The pickles are roughly chopped, making it hard to dip the fish, so expect to use a utensil. The Mahi was lightly battered and fried to a golden brown; it was not oily; they were frozen but came out tender and flaky.
My wife tried Smitty’s Meatloaf with loaded baked potato, broccoli casserole, and a hoe cake. The hoecake was a little oily, with a slight sweetness in the flavor and a good crunch on it. The baked potato is cooked perfectly and has the correct amount of butter and sour cream. The meatloaf has a great ketchup topping, and the flavor is good, but it is a little mushy in texture and slightly greasy from the bacon on top. It has a smokiness to it as well.
For my entrée, I had the Kentucky Hot Brown with broccoli casserole. The broccoli was slightly undercooked in some pieces but not inedible. The seasoning is excellent, and the cheese is ooey gooey, while crackers offer a crunch and texture. The hot brown comes out as a large portion. The Mornay sauce is thick and creamy with a slight sweetness that cuts through the salt of the dish. The bread on the bottom is fluffy and chewy, and the ham and turkey were thinly sliced and piled on, offering both sweet and salty meaty bites. The cheddar cheese is melted well, with the bacon crunchy and salty. The only knock is that the Roma tomatoes, while good, are small. A larger serving would work better.
Thoroughbreds have an extensive menu with daily appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, and fresh specials. The menu rotates with the season. The servers were amiable, and the same family has owned it for over forty years. The Fat Man says Thoroughbreds Restaurant is Fat Man Approved with 2 chins.
翻译:周六约会之夜,胖子和他的妻子前往列克星敦,尝试一家新餐厅。我们来到了位于 Leestown Road 的 Thoroughbreds 餐厅。Thoroughbreds 餐厅开业已有 40 多年,提供肯塔基州家常美食,菜单轮换。
我们先吃了一些 Mahi Fingers 和自制塔塔酱。塔塔酱浓稠细腻,味道很好。腌菜切碎,很难蘸鱼,所以要准备好餐具。Mahi 被轻轻裹上面糊,炸成金黄色;它不油腻;它们是冷冻的,但吃起来又嫩又脆。
我的妻子尝试了 Smitty 的肉饼,里面装满了烤土豆、西兰花砂锅和玉米饼。玉米饼有点油腻,味道略带甜味,口感很好。烤土豆煮得恰到好处,黄油和酸奶油的用量也恰到好处。肉饼上面浇着美味的番茄酱,味道不错,但质地有点糊状,上面放着培根,有点油腻。还有点烟熏味。
我的主菜是肯塔基辣布朗配西兰花砂锅。西兰花有些部分煮得有点不熟,但还可以吃。调味料很棒,奶酪粘稠,饼干脆脆的,口感很好。辣布朗的分量很大。莫奈酱浓稠而滑腻,略带甜味,中和了菜的咸味。底部的面包松软耐嚼,火腿和火鸡切成薄片堆在上面,既有甜味又有咸味。切达干酪融化得很好,培根又脆又咸。唯一的缺点是罗马番茄虽然很好,但个头小了点。份量大一点会更好。
Thoroughbreds 餐厅菜单丰富,每日供应开胃菜、三明治、汉堡和新鲜特色菜。菜单随季节变化。服务员很和蔼可亲,这家餐厅由同一个家族经营了四十多年。胖子说 Thoroughbreds 餐厅是胖子认可的,有 2 个下巴。
