Wild and
Wonderful
Beverly's Wild Horse Café gets
new ownership but offers the
same solid style.
By Anna and David Kasabian
the wild horse café, so long a favorite
spot for locals while under the leadership
and grill mastery of Brendon Crocker, is
now under new ownership. Sam Hunt
and Matt Blanchard—familiar to many as
founding chef and general manager, respectively, of Hamilton's popular 15 Walnut—
have taken the reins, offering a new menu
that, while remaining true to the familiar
flavor extravaganza, has a fresh spin.
By press time, the dining room will have
been freshened, but the feeling that you've
entered an eclectic yet welcoming place
with a shabby-chic bent will remain. And
while many long-favorite dishes will still
be served, there is a new focus on smaller
portions at lower prices, as well as a more
convivial and prominent bar.
We started with the Bacon and Egg
Salad, since we'd had it before and wanted
