"Walk into Walrus Rodeo, and you’ll see a wood-fired oven, charred lasagna, fluffy pizzas, and perhaps a hanger steak. Context clues would lead one to believe that this is a place to order flame-kissed proteins and dough. That’s only half true. Walrus Rodeo’s most underrated superpower is vegetables. They excel at making them delicious. If the crunchy, herbaceous chicory salad doesn’t convince you, try the romano beans covered in spicy breadcrumbs that’s doing a pitch-perfect impression of a caesar salad. The salads get tweaked often, but the respect they’re given remains at a level similar to a nervous 15-year-old meeting his girlfriend’s huge father for the first time." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
