With a new chef at their helm, Dirty Oscar's has a freshly revamped summer menu that's a little bit lightened up, but still keeps the trademark playful dishes the restaurant is known for.
While the breakfast menu hasn't changed, the dinner menu now features a popular appetizers such as the smoked cheddar beer dip, served with soft pretzels ($10), and chicken wings ($9) with mild, medium and hot dipping sauces that change depending on what the kitchen staff creates. The tempura fried pork belly ($12) sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen, but was surprisingly light and tender.
>>> West Coast cherry salad
Also notable is the quinoa burger ($12), a sweet and spicy patty that's both gluten free and vegetarian, and can be served with or without a bun. There are also fresh salads, including a West Coast cherry salad ($10), with sweet and tart cherries and crunchy duck fat croutons, as well as a beet and bulgur salad ($10), with roasted beets, bulgur, arugula and goat cheese.
Each night of the week has a special, with Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays being the BBQ pork sliders, salmon tacos and the "Dead Elvis" burger, respectively. The rest of the week, there's a new special every day. This week, with the holiday, Chef Geoffrey Yahn will be doing a play on red, white and blue with blueberry-spiced pork ribs and red chili spiced coleslaw.
>>> Quinoa burger patty
Chef Geoffrey gets his inspiration for the nightly specials from what's seasonal and local. "I go to the farmers market every week," he said. "This week, I saw raspberries and blueberries from Washington. Bring it on. Let's do some blueberry baby back ribs in a non-sweet manner."
His favorite menu item is the steak frites ($14), a lightly smoked tri tip steak with a red chimichurri and their awesome crispy skin-on fries.
