Buttermilk Channel – American (New) – Carroll Gardens
I have so many old food photos in my queue that I’m drowning, so please excuse me while I just plop some of these pictures of my meal at Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn with my friend Beth down without much explanation.
maple- and bacon-roasted almonds
These are still on the menu seven months later, because they’re so crunchy, sweet, and bacony that you kind of just want to keep ordering them and forget about the rest of the meal. See the way the sugar is cracking off of them in some places? COME ON! It’s almost unfair.
sweet potato and goat cheese croquettes
scallops
duck meatloaf, creamy parsnips, onion ring
This is the dish everyone talks about, and for good reason. It’s intensely rich and intensely comforting.

Weeeeeeeeeeird. I wonder how many times we’ve been in the same place at the same time and not even known it. You and your friends probably made fun of my friends and me for being so obnoxious. (Or the other way around!)

I thought meatloaf was only something that happened on TV until I was 26.
Anyway, goat cheese and sweet potato croquettes and a peanut-chocolate tarte are you KIDDING me? I’m hungry.

Dude, I won a Gotham Writers Workshop poetry contest a couple of years ago based on a one-liner about my mom’s meatloaf. It’s serious bizness.

I’m lamenting the lack of description of the duck meatloaf, even though using the words “duck” and “loaf” in the same sentence skeeves me out a little bit.
