Fieri Update On The Outer Banks.

I had previously talked to Chef Pok 

about getting into Outer Banks Brewing Station 

 when Guy is shooting this week.

He told me he would need to talk with the producers.

Mr. Hawthorne and I went there for lunch today

and I slipped my business card with a note on it

to the waitress who forwarded it to someone in the know.

'E" just called me and said everything is quite hush hush,

but he's meeting with the producers tomorrow

and will try to get me in.

Wish me luck.

Apparently, Guy is down here for a "vacation"

with his family, staying somewhere oceanfront.

That should narrow it down for you.

 Mr. Hawthorne had a salad with grilled shrimp

and a "Wheat Vinaigrette."

I liked the dressing.

Lime juice and I believe miso.

When we got home,
Mr. Hawthorne recreated the dressing:
Japanese mayo
Miso
White vinegar
Lime juice
Sweetener
He nailed it.

 I had the Portabella Press -

marinated grilled portabella mushroom

with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, tapenade, and cheese,

fried potato wedges, and a pickle slice.

Loved that bread.

Tapenade was a bit over-powering for my tastes.

Liked the fries - good and crispy.
