our 2009-2010 jonathan gold list has long expired, but couldn’t resist trying out good girl dinette. the 30% blackboard eats coupon certainly helped. the spicy fries weren’t as spicy as they could have been, but i enjoyed the flecks of jalapenos that graced the fried goodies. and the charred beef rice noodle salad was like eating cold pho – all the good vietnamese spices and smells (i love anise and basil!). our group also had the curry chicken pot pie, the beef stew, and the pork confit. whoa! everything was so heavy. i really enjoyed the food, but this meal is still sticking with me. i really liked the crust on the pot pie: flaky, doughy, salty. and i liked the steamed an choi. a nice counterpoint to the heartier-than-hearty stew.
