From our friends at Blackwall Hitch...
Executive Chef Mike Wagner has introduced the spring-summer menu for Old Town Alexandria's Blackwall Hitch.
"Blackwall Hitch's menu draws upon classic American techniques that are regionally and seasonally inspired," said Wagner, "and the new menu includes seasonal interpretations and classic staples from starters to desserts and everything in between."
Among the menu offerings:
• Lemongrass Shrimp Noodle Salad: Lemongrass-marinated grilled shrimp, vermicelli noodles, kale, carrots, bean sprouts accented with jalapeño, cilantro and roasted Virginia peanuts, $17
• French Fry Flight: A trio of fries (rosemary, parmesan and garlic with parsley and Old Bay-seasoned fries) served with house-made dipping sauces, $12
• Flaming Sagnaki: The most dramatic addition to the menu - Kefalograviera cheese flambéed tableside with brandy and lemon, served with pita bread, $16
• Crispy Soft Shell Crab Sandwich: Blackwall Hitch's version of this Chesapeake classic - Old Bay-dusted soft shell crab, yellow tomato, arugula, cherry pepper remoulade on a brioche roll, market price
• Striped Bass: pan seared striped bass with a chayote squash salad and lime butter sauce, $30
• Monkey Bread: Sticky, gooey and cinnamon sweet for the perfect ending, $9
