The Commons gets a ‘Delicious’ addition, Indaco adds supper series: Weekly Dish
It’s been a few months since Golden Brown & Delicious announced it would split into three concepts: GB&D, Leo’s Pizza and Delicious. Leo’s Pizza was announced along with the news of restructuring, followed by GB&D’s move into The Commons Phase 2 in April. Since then, followers of the new American restaurant have sat on their hands waiting for its full-service iteration, Delicious.
“The idea behind this revamp was trying to separate everything out so that we can actually give each concept … the attention it deserves,” said executive chef Michael Bowens. “Here, we’re doing small plates — all the kind of fancier stuff that GB&D has tried to do for a long time.”
The restaurant has been in its soft opening phase, bringing with it a tasting menu to introduce the offerings to the public. It held a grand opening May 14. The fine-dining concept is open in the former Golden Brown & Delicious space in The Commons Phase 1, installing a door at the entryway to create a more intimate experience.
The restaurant held a sneak peek in late April. Here is what to expect from Delicious.
During the preview, Bowens expressed an affinity for offerings that are simple but accentuate the use of naturally flawless ingredients.
“I’ve told my guys a number of times, ‘If you’ve got more than five ingredients, let’s stop, take a step back and think about it.’ Maybe it needs it, maybe it doesn’t,” he said.
One example of that value is the Latin-inspired black drum. The fish arrives on a bed of green mole and dressed with cilantro lime salad before being garnished with radishes to add texture. The mole’s tangy, earthy quality plays well off the cilantro-lime salad for a copacetic finish that manages to taste like an abuela’s cooking.
The Commons is located at 147 Welborn St. in Unity Park.
