I Would Change Absolutely Nothing About the Wedge Salad at Red Hook Tavern | Bon Appétit

"Located in Brooklyn and run by Billy Durney (of Hometown Bar-B-Que), this cozy, casual spot turns a usually disappointing wedge salad into something exceptional: five gorgeous, seemingly hand-selected cups of crunchy lettuce drizzled — not glopped — with a bright buttermilk dressing flecked with herbs and topped with big, buttery breadcrumbs. The pièce de résistance is a single long, thick strip of bacon splayed over the top, letting you eat the wedge like a hand salad, casually snack on the bacon, or achieve the perfect ratio of crumb, lettuce, dressing, and bacon in every bite. It even manages to outshine the restaurant’s celebrated burger; the reviewer calls the salad flawless and says there is nothing they would change." - ByPriya Krishna
