We had an outstanding dinner outdoors at one of our favorite restaurants, Bloom, in Verona, NJ. We have ordered takeout from them a couple of times since they reopened, but this is the first time we dined out at Bloom in over 5 months. It was a beautiful evening, for a change, with a nice breeze, after what seemed like weeks of 90+ weather. We enjoyed short ribs with carrot puree, octopus, watermelon salad with ricotta and candied pecans, spicy pork tacos, escargot, and a spicy crispy fried chicken sandwich without the bread. It all went great with an excellent Napa Valley red blend.
