It's the end of April — and that means we're back with our running roundup of the tastiest tidbits we tried the last 30 days.
Here are the meals that made our mouths water the most this month:
🍄🟫 Alayna: Annette's beloved spring pasta — the ramp and morel mafaldine — returned to the menu last week, and it's every bit the seasonal stunner fans remember.
- The noodles were silky and slurpable, the sauce buttery and umami-rich with parmesan, and the mushrooms added an earthy, savory punch. If only this beauty stuck around year-round.
🧁 Esteban: I let my sweet tooth decide on breakfast during a recent visit to Santos Café and Grill, opting for the pan dulce French toast.
- The Mexican spin on a French classic involves a toasted concha (Mexican pan dulce), topped with ice cream and caramel sauce and served alongside whipped cream with strawberries. It was super sweet, so I recommend balancing it with some coffee.
🐖 John: A craving for Southern food took me to Mama Jo's new place on East Colfax Avenue.
- The pulled pork with coleslaw on a biscuit hit the spot.
- Be sure to visit on a Saturday when brisket hits the menu.
