 The American Sector Restaurant Review: Chef John Besh never fails to brighten up any space he inhabits, and this one is no exception. Besh has created the ultimate twenty-first-century museum eatery inside The National World War II Museum. The menu aligns itself with the museum's theme, offering dishes that were popular before many people visiting it were born. Consider the tomato soup with a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, or the bologna sandwich with chow chow. Jonesing for chicken and dumplings, or meatloaf or shrimp Creole? This is your place. A decent wine list and good local beers are offered, including a couple of locally made American Sector exclusives. This is pure comfort food served in a bright, airy atmosphere by men and women in decidedly 1940s garb. The very up-to-date bar takes up the entire center of the place, and best of all, you can order an old-fashioned milk shake or a banana split. |
