You know that feeling when one of your friends makes a change to their appearance in some way, whether they got a new 'do or even a new pair of glasses, and you notice something is different, but can't quite pinpoint what it is right away? That's what I felt like walking into The Yardhouse earlier this week for lunch. It took me a moment to figure out exactly what had changed, the colours! The Yardhouse is now a nice vibrant green and the windows on the side have been frosted over. It's refreshing and boy has it ever brightened up the interior.
It seems a Wednesday at 130 is not prime-time lunch hour here. We were the only ones in the restaurant. But that meant we were the only customers for our server to dote on :). And she did it just right. When I decided that I was going to try the deep-fried burrito her eyes lit it with excitement! "Good choice! It sounds like it would be greasy, but it really isn't. It's pulled pork deep-fried in phyllo and is soooo good." When my burrito came out, I took one bite and concluded that she knew what she was talking about. The burrito certainly wasn't greasy, in fact, it was nothing at all like I expected. Delicately flaky crust thanks to the phyllo, full of BBQ flavoury goodness inside with the pulled pork, and not a drip of grease or extra juices in sight.
Next time I'm trying one with a yardlong :).
