Veterans & Rookies

featuring one of my favorite dishes in the Restaurant Dropout vault

In honor of the 2024 Olympics being officially underway and this newsletter being our 18th week (another Ninth Edition) of Restaurant Dropout, I figured it would be fun to bring back a couple of my all-time favorite dishes and elements (the veterans), while also creating space for new ones (the rookies).

While I love all of Restaurant Dropout’s dishes, there have certainly been a few that stand out when I reflect on previous weeks. And, since we’re highlighting our veteran dishes, it only felt right to bring back one of my all-time favorite dishes I’ve ever created: Bruschetta Chicken.

It’s the perfect combination of flavors and textures (especially when topped with a little pinch of flaky salt) AND it’s an all-star in my books.

However, like all national teams at the Olympics, there are some newbies…and they deserve some of the spotlight, too.
