#21 Barley & Board

Another summer Friday, another #50by50 lunch with friends.  This time, we hit up Barley & Board in Denton.  I absolutely loved this place!   Our service was exceptional, the food was amazing, and of course, the company was the best.  Barley & Board is on the square in downtown Denton, so if you have the time, there's so much to do, from shopping at Recycled to getting a snow cone at Gnome Cones.  But let's focus on lunch.  Barley & Board has an extensive local beer menu, so Mitzi and I started with a flight.


Once Anita arrived, we ordered a charcuterie board to snack on (surprise!)  We decided to sample the Herb Chevre, Dutch Mill Red Gouda, Prosciutto de Parma, and another meat that I don't remember the name of.   Why is goat cheese so amazing?  I could probably eat it every day.  And this particular one was rolled in fresh herbs. Even more yummy to the taste buds!

For lunch, I decided on the Shrimp and Grits.  It was a bit spicy, but the spice was worth it.  The grits were smooth and creamy with chunks of andouille sausage and topped with large shrimp.   If you are a fan of shrimp & grits, then you should put a visit to Barley & Board on your to-do-list.  It's one of the best I've had.  Anita got the Salmon; she gave it rave reviews as well.


The nice thing about a 3 hour hour lunch is you are there long enough to order the Cookie Board.  You get 6 cookies as big as your face and a pint of milk.  the order comes with 2 of each: chocolate chip, sugar cinnamon, and some kind of coconut, which was surprisingly yummy.


Yay for 3 hour lunches with the besties on a Friday during the dog days of summer and yay for new restaurants!
