CB&G or keep your pants on anonymous

capital bar & grill. a great lunch spot. a fab dessert spot and wed-sat evenings, you get ted. i posted my cb&g dessert experience last october but since anonymous wanted more, here it is; m-f the cb&g offers a substantial lunch menu and one $8 plate lunch special that is not on the menu. i opted for the off the menu lunch special of chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans all covered with a white gravy. i started it all off with an iced tea that cb&g serves with a tiny pitcher of simple syrup. that took care of the never dissolving sugar saga. yes, i am a real sugar girl. next up a mesclun greens with roasted beets, blue cheese and sorghum vinaigrette salad. a steal of a deal for $4. & if you weren’t told the vinaigrette contained sorghum, you wouldn’t know it. the chicken fried steak was large, super crispy and not at all greasy. the steak was tender, not tough, nor gristly, nor fatty, nor stringy. a nice cut of meat, perfectly seasoned and scrumptious. so scrumptious that i forgot to take a photo. a nice fellow working the floor went to the kitchen and snapped one for me. the potatoes were skin-on and a chunky, yet creamy, mash; all served up with a square of rice flour bread, which was a light-as-air and refined piece of cornbread. mmm. the service is impeccable. it’s the kind of service that can go unnoticed because nothing happened that you can complain about. here’s my advice, go to the capital bar & grill. notice the wonderful food, notice the near perfect wait staff and if you go when ted’s there, notice your foot  tapping under the table. Lee Richardson is the chef of both Ashley’s and Capital Bar & Grill. he participates in local Farm to Table dinners and is a staple at the CAFM (argenta farmers market) foodie fests. he can do no wrong. now, get off your ass & go to cb&g. thanks.
