The Sunburnt Cow, East Village
With the incredible special the Cow has going on right now ($16 3-course prix fixe), and the awesome remodeled back patio, I reeeeally wanted to like my dinner. But…
I’m sad to report my fish burger was almost inedible. Despite the fact that it came with two huge fish fillets, the fish was the funky-fishiest thing I had ever tasted, to the point where I couldn’t eat it. Perhaps I was just spoiled with all of the fresh fish in the Bahamas, but alas, no good. Its one saving grace: a delicious cilantro-mayo spread.
I’ve had the burgers here before, and they are delicious. They’re served with the lot: pineapple, a fried egg, beets, and bacon. I should have played it like my friends and stuck with what I knew.
Will I come back to the Cow? Perhaps. I wasn’t starving so I didn’t get the prix fixe, but on the menu is a Cow Salad (avocado, mango, and pecans with a mango mustard dressing) and a Half Roasted Chicken (with cream corn succotash and potato scallops). All that plus dessert for $16? I must say I’m curious. Also, their all you can drink brunch for $18 is a great time.
I’ll leave you with a few shots of my drink: The Oasis. That’s a little pool of tequila floating on top. Sadly, the taste did not match its awesome looks.
