Editor’s Pick: Blue Cheese Chips at Bistro Byronz

For the blue cheese lover, this Bistro Byronz appetizer is a real palate-pleaser—a plate of fresh-fried potato chips, smothered in a warm, creamy blue cheese sauce, all topped with green onion and, you guessed it, more blue cheese. The unsalted chips make for a starchy balance to the tart nuttiness of the cheese. Simple, yes, but totally satisfying. And if you haven’t dropped by Byronz recently, make room on your plate for an expanded menu—the restaurant is experimenting with new dishes for their lunch and dinner specials. Among the nouveau recipes is a delightfully spicy wasabi chicken salad, with thin slices of chicken, marinated cucumbers, hearty chunks of avocado and bell pepper and a wasabi vinaigrette. There’s also the hamburger steak, served with caramelized onions and Creole gravy on mashed potatoes with green beans. New specials are being rolled out regularly, so be sure to put Byronz on your rotation.
