Scholar's Pub

Last night I had an alumni event at Scholar's Pub in Boston, which means this blog is quickly turning into more of a restaurant review blog instead of a cooking blog... oops. It's been a busy week, but don't worry, for the most part I'll be posting recipes as opposed to restaurant reviews. 

In the meantime, Scholars... I've been there on weekend nights before, but never for dinner. I hadn't realized until recently how creative of a menu they have, definitely more than your average bar fare. 

I had the Lemon Scallion Risotto, which is the only thing marked on their menu as vegan. They also have a portabella sandwich that seems to be vegan by reading the menu, but for some reason is not marked as such. It was dark (hence the poor quality photo) and loud, plus I was at a networking event so I didn't want to eat a messy sandwich and therefore did not inquire about it.

My dish was delicious. It was not what I expected based on the description, but it was still great. I was expecting more of a light Italian dish, when I read about the risotto, lemon, and asparagus, but I guess I should have paid more attention to the shishito peppers in the dish. The waitress informing me that it was a slightly spicy dish should have been my key that it was not a typical Italian risotto. While it was not spicy to my standards, the sauce was distinctly Asian, and not lemony at all (which is fine with me cause lemon is not my favorite flavor). Based on the thickness of the sauce I'm not sure how healthy it was, but the pepper, asparagus and tomato were great (I love some cooked tomatoes!!).

Overall, it was a great dish, a little misleading, but still good. I was surprised to find such a great menu at Scholars, since I think of it as a place to dance on the weekends. I appreciate the fact that not only do they have designated vegan items on their menu but, even though it's only one item, it's an interesting dish you don't find everywhere and not a boring go-to just so that they can say they have something. Thanks Scholar's!

    This blog is about my adventures adhering to a plant-based diet in a meat-based world and incorporating vegan practices into more parts of my life. As many of my friends and family aren't vegan, and the best part of cooking is sharing your food with others, I try to make recipes that can be enjoyed by vegans and meat-eaters alike.
