Dish: Fried veal sweetbread submarine, $10.75

Where: Chase the Submarine, 132 Church St. NW, Vienna

Taste: You know those famed wings—back in the day from Maple Ave. Restaurant and now available at Water & Wall—well that same luscious hot-creamy sauce (Korean chili paste, creme fraiche) now enrobes veal sweetbreads. The fried nuggets, with a crispy outside and a pillowy middle, sit atop housemade dill pickles and quick-fermented cabbage ribbons for a sandwich spanning the texture and taste scoreboard.
