Drove from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, not all in one go, but with a break in between at Harrisburg. What did I find in the middle of rural Pennsylvania? A really great place to eat – Rubicon:
I am slightly obsessed with ginger beer, so I was ecstatic to see that their Four Season cocktail contained ginger beer, along with Oloroso sherry, Maker's Mark, fresh pineapple, Peychaud's… They pour strong drinks here, but I guess it is America and not the watered down drinks of Canada.
Couple of other easy choices from the menu, included their appetizer, which had truffles:
The main course of the poulet colombo, with a very tenderly braised curried chicken, was a more difficult choice to make. There were so many other amazing options on the menu for the main course!
I had a whole lot of rice leftover, but I did wipe the plate clean. D had the lobster roll, found in the back there. He said it was acceptable, and was quite satisfied with the meal overall. The combination of the service and the decor in the restaurant helped quite a lot to keep the homesickness away. They also played a mix of electronic and trance music in the background, so if you’re not into that, I’d say stay away. Otherwise, amazing food, and a great assortment of cocktails to try out.
It’s tough being on the road, but it’s even harder staying still at home. Gotta keep on moving… Next trip to Toronto in a 2 weeks!
