| - "I wish I could take a bath in that macaroni" is something that was definitely said last night by one of us, probably me, I can't really remember (very good wine). Anywhooooo, Cork is awesome. Kristen found it a while back and suggested we give it a go, and after several months of waiting, last night was the night. We arrived at 630 to find the place was relatively packed, maybe a table or two empty, and were escorted straight to a huge booth by a friendly hostess.
Cork is located in a strip mall, but don't let it scare you, because the front door of Cork is like a magical portal. You walk through this very unassuming door, in this very plain looking building, located in this very boring strip mall and you find yourself suddenly faced with a beautiful, modern restaurant, complete with a huge wall of wine that demands your adoration. The atmosphere here is great, it has a nice ambient back round noise, the colors are calming and the drinking water has cucumber in it. Cucumber! Brilliant and delicious.
Onto the main attraction! Our awesome waitress (name?) explained that the portions are somewhat smaller, and that most people walk away very happy after each having an appetizer and an entree, so we did just that. We started with the Cork's mac and cheese and the cured meats. The cured meats were good, prosciutto, sopressata, salami, gorgonzola, it was all quite good, but the mac and cheese simply destroyed it. Go get this right now. Go. I'll wait. Ok, see? It was freaking fantastic. Bbq pork belly, smoked bacon, wild mushrooms, four year aged widmer's cheddar... oh my goodness, I considered canceling our other orders and getting seventeen orders of it. But enough gloating for goodness sakes. For le entree, I ordered the organic lamb chop, two beautiful pieces of lamb cooked wonderfully to a medium rare, with a little more rare than medium, and it was divine, just bursting with flavor. It came with a lamb shank pot pie that I don't even want to try to explain, it was heavenly. Gosh this place is good. Kristen ordered the grilled prime strip, it was scrumptious and had a great sauce, I think it was a diablo sauce, that made the flavor really pop. On the side was a summer squash bread pudding that Kristen thought was ok, but I ate it up, I wish I could have that recipe, so wonderful. We had an incredible time, the food was great, the service was great, the wine was great, we will be back, this is one of my new favorite restaurants. Nice work, Cork.
