New spring menu at Taylor Gourmet at Bethesda Row (Photos)

Spring is in the air, despite the rain, and that means it's time for spring menu items at the popular Taylor Gourmet at Bethesda Row.

Among the temporary additions? For starters, there are Seasonal Risotto Balls, a spicier twist on Taylor Gourmet's signature Risotto Balls appetizer. Roasted corn, chives and smokey bacon join the classic mozzarella, with an appropriately zesty Parmesan Black Pepper sauce.

For hoagies, the main draw at Taylor Gourmet, new selections include a Turkey Greene with Green Goddess dressing, two vegetarian additions (Cumberland with chickpea fritters, Chestnut with a grilled zucchini cutlet), the citrus-braised pork with pepper ham Castor, and the Crystal Hot Sauce-splashed Memphis Raines chicken cutlet (grilled or fried) hoagie.

3 new salads are available for those seeking lighter fare, including the Columbus Salad with kale, cherry tomatoes, roasted corn, avocado smokey bacon, and black pepper parmesan dressing; and a Roasted Corn Salad.

Taylor Gourmet has also launched a revamped website.
