I recently met a friend for drinks at Parkside 23.  Parkside 23 is a farm to table restaurant located on Pilgrim Place and North Avenue in Brookfield.  We only went for the appetizers this time, but next time I am definitely trying one of their delectable sounding entrees.  For starters we had the Roasted Beets, now I know not everyone is a beet fan, but these really were delicious.  Served with greens, a Wisconsin chevre cheese (goat cheese), candied walnuts, and tossed with an apple cider vinaigrette.  We could not get enough of this. I will say I am not a huge fan of corn, unless it’s on the cob.  With that said, we tried the Creamed Corn, and oh my goodness, I have definitely changed my mind.  It was a creamy blend of crisp corn, bacon, leeks and the part that put it over the edge for me was the poblano peppers it had in it.  It gave it a great smoky flavor with just a little hint of heat.  Last but definitely not least, we had Matt’s Macaroni, which was a delicious blend of Wisconsin cheeses, topped with a crunchy baked topping of panko bread crumbs and cheddar cheese.  The creaminess of the cheese, mixed with the crunch of the bake topping was irresistible.  There was an option to add bacon, and I know it’s shocking that we didn’t try that but I wanted to try it all on it’s own.  Next time though, there will be bacon. There will definitely be a next time.  The food was great, service was friendly and on Wednesday’s a bottle of wine is half off.  How could you go wrong?
