Not gonna lie, I wasn’t expecting @pitypartypasta Burnt Carrots with Wolfberry Dressing ($4 a portion excluding delivery charge) to be that burned. I was expecting a nice char on the carrots, not for it to be burnt & blistered. Still, the carrots themselves are edible once you’ve scraped off the inedible burnt bits.⠀

That wolfberry dressing seems to be the only seasoning these charred carrots get, and that dressing is STRONG. You smell it before you eat it, and I must say that it’s quite an attractive aroma. As for the taste, the sweet carrots further amplify the sweetness of the wolfberry dressing, and due to the medicinal qualities of the wolfberries used, it does end up tasting like exceptionally pleasant tasting medicine.⠀

What these Burnt Carrots desperately needed was a good dose of salt to counteract the saccharine dressing and the natural sweetness of the carrots. In its current iteration, the Burnt Carrots aren’t a great side dish, but I do see potential for it to be a splendid side piece.
