Review of Bacon Brothers Public House

Judging by the other reviews I'm "the one" but her...

Judging by the other reviews I'm "the one" but here goes anyway. I ordered the classic chicken with mixed greens as a side and a house salad.

The house salad was too dry so I asked for more dressing. Big mistake. The dressing was so thick and heavy I overused it trying to get an even coating on the greens. The flavors in the dressing were so powerful I couldn't eat the salad.

As for the chicken the dish was not hot. I tried to eat it anyway. Sent it back. A fresh one came back 5 degrees warmer than the first. The chicken was warmer than the broth. I can't figure that out. The brussel sprouts and sweet potato/turnip were warmer than the vidalia onion which was room temperature and tough as a bamboo stalk. A raw onion would've been softer.The pecans and green leaves used to garnish were room temperature. The orange segments were cool. I've never had a dish where each of the eight ingredients had its own heat coefficient.

The dish was bland as well. Each ingredient had its own flavor but together they just didn't work, the broth was absolutely flavorless.

So that leaves the greens. They were quite tangy. So much that I couldn't enjoy them. They were heavily peppered too.

I hear the BBQ is good.
