Rabbit Hole

We decided it was high time for a foodie outing.  We plotted with a friend of ours when and where to meet.  We debated between Travail & the Rookery (closed on Monday), Tongue in Cheek (closed on Monday), Lyn65, and Rabbit Hole.  Rabbit Hole it was.  Aptly located in Midtown Global Market, Rabbit Hole features Korean street food. 

Let me just say, I had never been in Midtown Global Market, and I was immediately enamored with with the variety of interesting ethnic food right packed in a small space.  I can imagine heading there on a Saturday evening with friends and trying a little food from many of the different vendors.  I can't wait.  Sounds like a perfect winter activity.

Anyway, we wandered through MGM and finally found Rabbit Hole.  It's not much to look at, a little dark actually.  But, the food is divine.  A must try for anyone.  Most of the dishes are gluten-free and they also have vegetarian options.  We perused the menu and had a hard time narrowing it down because everything sounded amazing.  We settled on the following five dishes:

1.  Jerk Burrito (jerk beef, black beans, rice, onions, jalapeno, cilantro, arugula, avocado, amazing secret sauce)


2.  Brussels Sprouts (brussels sprouts, bacon, onion, orange, mint, parmesan)

3.  Chicken Strips


4.  Poutine (fries, kimchi, onion, parmesan, cheddar, poached egg, pork belly, pork curry gravy, chipotle aioli)


5.  Spice, Rice & Everything Nice (tempura soft shell crab, habanero oyster sauce, egg, rice)

We just ended up sharing everything.  It was all very delicious!  We had a nice spread of different flavors.  When you just look at the names, you feel like you've probably had it all before and it wouldn't be that interesting, but all the sauces and special accents they add to the dishes really transform them into something new and fun.  It was just a wonderful experience and we definitely hope to go back.  They also have a lot of very interesting cocktails to try as well.  My husband liked his Negroni and our friend really liked her combo of honey, hard cider, lemon juice, and vodka. 

I highly recommend Rabbit Hole.  De.Lish.
