Organic chicken pot pie had a nice flaky crust and was filled with chunks of all-natural white meat, and vegetables in a light broth. Northeast Kingdom Berkshire pork loin had a smokiness and sweetness.
Is it worth the trek if you’re not a Bushwick local? It’s actually really easy to get to from the L train. Get off at the Jefferson stop and walk one block.
