Burdock & Co

This Mount Pleasant charmer straddles a corner of Main Street in an area rich with top spots, but Burdock & Co stands out with its rustic appeal and Chef Andrea Carlson's farm-to-table cooking. The concise menu highlights the best of the season. First, grilled sourdough, herb-flavored gougère and nori cornbread with aged sake kasu butter prove that this is not your average bread basket. Then, miniature Hazelmere radishes roasted with house-made shio koji deliver unexpected glee. Morels stuffed with halibut mousse resting beside delicate gnocchi in a green garlic sauce embody the fleeting beauty of spring. Finally, the deconstructed chocolate soufflé with miso caramel and smoked mascarpone is a decadent delight.
