Chicken Marsala

Restaurant: Ritual, Main Street

The Facts: Lightly breaded, sauteed filet, mushrooms and marsala wine glace served over linguine. Three large tenderloins with button mushrooms over pasta.

Foodie’s Review: The sauce was tasty and thick enough to coat the pasta and chicken well. The mushrooms were a good addition to the dish but it would have been nice to have a more of a variety. The dish was exactly what I would have expected: nothing more, nothing less.

This review was done by an independent member of the Worcester Foodies group during their monthly meeting in May 2011.

Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken Cordon Bleu from 86 Winter on Water Street

Although Chicken Cordon Bleu has recently been stigmatized as a wedding meal choice, the manner in which it is prepared by 86 Winter on Water Street helps to reclaim it as a solid choice. Not considering the sides of large, thin sliced squash and zucchini, or even the thick flavorful garlic smashed potatoes, their Chicken Cordon Bleu makes the grade. Using hand-tenderized free-range chicken that is pan seared and held together with the perfect blend of black forest ham and Swiss cheese, the flavors combine to provide comfort for the soul and stimulation for the taste buds. It is safe to say that the dish prepared at 86 Winter will break the image of Chicken Cordon Bleu being a standard option reserved for weddings.
