Stand's pickled eggCynthia Sin-Yi Cheng

My recent coup de coeur is the pickled sides at Stand. I had expected the B&B pickles ($4) to be a very heavy side, but, in fact, they’re just the right accent for a burger. Just two to three are enough to satisfy me. These tempura-battered sweet pickles are a Jonathan Morr (BondSt fame) idea. Just a few months old on the menu at Stand, they’re a big draw for me. And I am stuck on the mustard-ketchup that comes with them! But now I’ve discovered yet another pickled delight: the pickled egg ($3). This eggplant-colored egg comes with an addictive red wine vinegar-shallot sauce.

My perfect meal at Stand includes a mini cheeseburger with either of these fabulous pickled goods chased down by a Rosemaryade ($5).

OMG, Cynthia! How timely! I have, even as we speak, two dozen eggs in a pickling brine. I have always loved them but most people seem to be afraid of them associate them with smoky dive bars. I am so glad to see that they are being reintroduced.

I am about to experiment this weekend with deviling them to see what I can come up with as the Chicago Tribune just did a feature on a variety of differently-deviled eggs.

Cheers!
