| - Let me tell you a little story about one of the best meals I've ever had in my life!
Once upon a time I went to Paoli Schoolhouse Cafe.
Krista made pork.
It was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life.
The End.
Not sold? Honestly, I don't know what else I can say about the place that will do it the justice it deserves. First of all, I hate pork, so the fact that chef Krista got me to eat it is pretty remarkable. How did this happen? Expert preparation. Juicy, easy to cut through with just enough pink. It was simple, flavorful, absolutely perfect, and I'm not certain when or if I'll have something so great again. Flash forward to dessert and she did it again, this time with cheesecake. Aside from my aversion to lactose I don't love cheesecake because I loathe it's main ingredient, cream cheese. Call me crazy but the idea of shmearing thick white sour dairy on a bagel just doesn't get me going, but I digress. This cheesecake was phenom. Sweet chocolate with a cookie crust that had a tinge of salt to balance the sweet... again simply perfect.
In addition to the rad food that's being plated, the place has a staff that knows they have something special and that level of care and appreciation runs rampant throughout the building. I've been on a few occasions now and each time I've had incredible servers who are quick to make menu recommendations and don't mind making substitutions as they arise.
The history of the building (ask someone about Gwen) is chilling, yet warm and inviting, and when I'm there I can't help but think, "Man I wish this were closer to the capitol." Then I think, "Who am I kidding, it took me 20 minutes to get here, it takes me longer to buy toothpaste at Target (damn you end caps distracting me from my goals)." Point is, they're close. They're worth it. Check 'em out.
The End (really this time).
