Restaurants You gotta <3 the Shed
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 3:53 AM
Here it is! I couldn't resist going back to the Shed at Glenwood tonight for the $3 sliders but I also had to order Chef Lance Gummere's pan-fried chicken hearts over "egg in a basket" -- a fried egg inside a slice of toasted brioche.
I could easily become addicted to this. As I wrote last week, when I was a kid, my father and I competed for the heart and gizzard when my mother fried chicken. She would sometimes throw extras into the pan , so we could both get a fix. I told one of the servers tonight that I have only seen chicken hearts on one menu in my life. That was at a soul-food cafe in downtown Augusta over 25 years ago.
I also ordered two sliders. One was a burger made with Wagyu beef. The other featured goat cheese and crimini mushrooms. Both were killer but the Wagyu bordered on trance-inducing.

Frankly, that looks about as disgusting as your picture from P'cheen. Just cause it tasted good does not mean it photographs well.

Yeah, you're right. Neither dish was photogenic. I take pictures of what comes to the table, not what is most eye-appealing on the menu. And, of course, I can't "style" the food. More often than not now, if a dish is not photogenic or I can't get a decent shot, I don't post a picture. However, in the case of the chicken hearts, the concoction is so unusual, that I decided to illustrate it. As for P'cheen's mound o' meat, the excess demanded representation.
I thought the p'cheen pic looked appetizing. Above, not so much, but I didn't know what chicken hearts looked like.
I really like The Shed. The food is good, service is great, and the owners are very nice and accommodating. Its a great addition to the neighborhood. Never seems particularly busy so I hope it can hang on.
