The other day we found our way to Second Street Grill. It's a place in Yakima that you honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu and I also love it because of their wide local tap selection for various beers. As my wife and I were looking over the menu I had a few safe menu options in mind but was also side-eyeing this pork shank with rice and some kind of blueberry reduction or glaze or whatever it was. Just thought it sounded interesting but kept looking. No more than a few moments later she mentioned this item as well. From that we knew we had to order it. I'm glad we did.

So, this hunk o' meat was prepared via sous vide which is some type of vacu-sealed baggy of stuff submerged in water. Low and slow but super new-tech and fancy. Either way, it was great. That 'fall off the bone' style which admittedly weirds me out a little but you know it's done. The rice was excellent as I opt for rice every chance I get.

The winner of this dish, however, was that blueberry demiglaze that was on the pork. I never thought of using blueberry in this way but it worked and worked tremendously. Seriously, you've gotta try it. I'm looking forward to visiting again, probably this week, to order this again.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
