I don't want to be known as a thread killer, so I'll provide the answer. It's AhSo, located in Brambleton (Ashburn, really). Would love to get the opinions of others, so check out AhSo's outstanding food and drink. They're creative, and venture beyond their typical menu boundaries. We are looking forward to trying their Wednesday Ramen and Japanese Whiskey pop-up, as well as their upcoming Paso Robles wine dinner in May. I'm very pleased to have them close by!

Can I ask- is it zucchini two ways- roasted and raw, or is that cucumber on top? I'm going with zucchini - that doesn't appear to have the fibrous structure of cucumber. It also looks slightly more ivory colored, and I don't see any stray seeds. On the other hand, I wish one of those top pieces was flipped upside-down, because my confidence level is shaky on this one. You know, that teeny-tiny, triangular piece of skin on the very top piece looks like cucumber more than zucchini. Actually, no it doesn't - the skin is too dark. Purely from palate aesthetics, raw cucumber seems like it might be too watery and not quite flavorful enough for this dish. Final Answer: Zucchini. (This is a game, right? No, dammit, it's a blood sport!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Washington Post published the recipe for the Sweet & Sour Strawberry Salad. The photo below is also from my dinner on July 1, 2018. Both dishes are my current favorites on the menu. 18 hours ago, DonRocks said: I'm going with zucchini - that doesn't appear to have the fibrous structure of cucumber.
