C'mon... Another pop-up at Dish Dive? Do people really care about these silly pop-ups? Fuck yeah and it's gonna be fucking awesome.
It's no secret I like this joint a lot and the talent rotation coming through here every now and then to let local cooks cook what they wanna cook with DD's Chef Take-Over Series... Tonight's line up looks badass. What to get, what to get... Fuck it. I'm just gonna eat everything.

Nice collection of menu offerings... Yes please... To all of the above because this has things you actually wanna eat.

Chicken Wings. EB's sauce... I know what y'all are thinking. Is that white creamy stuff EB's special sauce? Nah, it's just ranch. The hot sauce looking concoction was the EB sauce, it's not all that spicy but has a tangy flavor to it. I liked it a lot but the baked wings coulda taken a dip in the fryer to give it that crispy factor.

Pork Dumps. Bastard sauce. I don't know if a bastard made this dipping sauce or it was made for a bastard but the little purses of ground up Ms. Piggy bits were pretty tasty... And they say eating out a fat chick would be stinky.

Octopus Beet Salad. This is the fancy dish of the night. Vibrant colors with various texture combinations. I liked this dish a lot... Wished there were more octopus, though.

Oxtail and Scallops. What a great combo. Savory oxtail and bay scallops... A little surf and turf wrapped up and placed into your facehole. The sweet brown sauce on the oxtail was a bit salty but overall a tasty handheld treat.

Soup and Sandwich. Beef pho, bologne and chicken liver mousse banh mi. Who doesn't like a soup and sando combo... It kinda similar to Lee's combos but Lee's sucks nowadays because they have been possessed by the white devils. At first, I thought it was logs of SPAM which made me drool... Then I realized it was bologne as stated on the menu. Love the texture combo of the banh mi but it coulda used more chicken liver mousse. The pho broth was rich and savory, wonderful smell and flavor. Love the raw eye of round gently placed into the broth and the noods were spot on. This was pretty boss.

Dish Dive needs to keep this Chef Take-Over Series going on Mondays when they are usually closed. This is awesome for the cooks and the locals who are looking for this type of surprise dining. The menu is usually full of stuff the cooks like to eat personally. Hey, I would do the same if I ever did a pop-up but it would prolly consist of more than 5 items... Because you know, I'm a fat slob. Can't wait for the next one.
