The fried Chesapeake oysters with a roasted and pickled pepper salad ($9.00) are a deconstructed New Orleans oyster po’ boy. It’s spicy, buttery and salty with plump fresh oysters that taste of the sea. A braised bone-in pork shank with white bean cassoulet and pork jus ($22.00) pays homage to the classic from Languedoc, France. The farmer’s’ plate ($15.00) is a mélange of Allan Benton’s Smoky Mountain Tennessee country hams with a Sweet Grass Dairy Tomme, a grass-fed cow's milk cheese from in Thomasville, Georgia. The entrée is served with an assortment of pickles, a deviled egg and saltines. This dish shows how Chef Donovan makes something mouthwatering by balancing all five tastes.
Brine and Bottle is small and just getting noticed but put it on your lunch or dinner to-do list for the Outer Banks. Make sure you leave room in your flight bag for a jar of their pickled veggies or bacon jam.
