Dishin': Joule's Chicken Liver Mousse Popsicle

How much do we love Joule? We don’t dare try to count the ways.

At some point, we’ll talk about the regular menu, in which even butter comes in a choice of flavors—including bacon and seaweed. But for now we’d like to highlight one particular item from this summer’s Urban BBQ Series.

As previously mentioned, chef/owners Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi planned a different theme that would offer a variety of grilled dishes each Sunday of the summer. We looked forward to "Food on a Stick" and "Dreaming of Pigs," but it was "Chick-a-licious" that featured the most fantastic food item we’ve had in a long time: chicken liver mousse popsicles. We were imagining creamy pieces of liver on sticks, but little did we expect that they’d be dipped in dark chocolate (and plated with chicken liver crostini). Life doesn’t get much better than this, unless you count the super-moist fried chicken and the deviled eggs with bacon that were also on the menu that day.

By the way, we’re still dreaming of pigs after sampling some deep fried pork belly and a pig trotter po’ boy last weekend. If we’re whetting your appetite, note that this Sunday is the finale of the Urban BBQ Series. The theme may sound simple, but the chefs tell us that "Patties and Dogs" will include homemade hot dogs, short rib burgers, and more. Expect another shining performance at Joule this Sunday.
