Little Giant

With a little time to kill on Saturday night, I popped in to Little Giant to say hello to Tasha and Julie, LG’s chef-owners and all around babes of the restaurant industry. Having worked there as an original waitress, I feel a special kinship to the place, and everytime I stop in, I am never disappointed.

This time, it was a recommendation from the bartender about a certain Belgian beer called Dupont Saison Farmhouse that was outrageously good. It had a citrusy zest that was refreshing, while also carrying a richer note of vanilla and spice to balance out a slight lemony bitterness. It is a perfect, crisp beer for summertime. The bubbly-factor on the finish would pair up well with clams fresh off the grill or with scallops lightly seared in brown butter.
