Pot Roast

Recently, my family and I went out to dinner at the new restaurant, 160 Main. My dad is friends with the owner, who also used to own Mona Lisa, the restaurant that occupied the same building before it changed from an Italian place to a remodeled American grille. We wanted to try a few different things on the menu, so my dad ordered the chicken pot pie, my mom got the meatloaf, and I ordered the slow braised beef. We shared little bits of all the food, and my personal favorite was the braised beef. It was still on the bone and was on top of a pile of potatoes and vegetables and was covered in a red wine demi sauce. It reminded me of a meal my mom and I sometimes make. It’s a pot roast that just sits in h the crock pot for about 6 or 8 hours with all the other ingredients cooking with it. When it comes out, it’s very tender and stringy, and just falls apart. Also, the other ingredients that cook in the crock pot with it form a nice gravy to put over potatoes and vegetables with the pot roast. Overall, I really liked the new restaurant, 160 Main. The food reminded me of home which is always a good thing when trying a new restaurant. I would recommend that everyone try it sometime.
