Dinner at Thirty Acres in Jersey City, NJ

Went back to Thirty Acres because they recently changed a large portion of their menu to be more Fall-oriented.  As usual everything we got was delicious, and overall the cost wasn't too bad considering it's BYOB and that the food is so fresh and has local, high quality ingredients.  Everyone should come here!  The NYTimes, Grub Street, and all other foodie blogs are raving about this place.

Corned Beef Special - OMG SO GOOD words cannot describe.  I've never had grilled corned beef.  It was so thick and juicy and had that awesome grill taste.  Topped with hazelnuts and side of mustard and pickled cabbage.

Pork Chop with apples, seckel pear, escarole, onions and almond salse.  Perfectly cooked and nice mix of side veggies.

Duck Breast with carrots, cauliflower, cumin, maple, raisins and jerk sauce.  Again the duck was perfect.  So tender and the fat perfectly rendered.  I liked the sauce but I'm not the hugest fan of cumin.  Also raisins in food creeps me out ha

Spiced apple crisp with fresh whipped cream.  LOVE LOVE LOVE.  Also huge in size.  The pic is deceiving.  Their fresh whipped cream is the BOMB.  Overall the apple crisp wasn't that sweet, which for me was a negative.  But the cream made up for it.
