| - BACON LOVERS UNITE! Get your butts over to this place pronto! I found your heaven!!! My favorite bacon eater brought me here with a couple of friends without noting any sort of hidden agenda. When I saw the menu, I understood why we were here immediately...
Our server stepped up to the table and immediately started describing drinks and dishes to us without skipping a beat. He was educated about the food and it showed-- I appreciate that. He also made us giggle when he walked away from the table saying, "I'll get your drinks and oh, I'll grab your nuts!" I must say, their nuts are candied and delicious. Just the way I like them.
So, my dearest friend was unafraid to try the artery-clogging dishes that he had lined up in his mind, and it started off with the "Tender Belly" bacon fat heirloom popcorn. Fact: It's pieces of bacon tossed in with some flavorless regular ol' popcorn. Does the bacon make it good? Sure. Is it something amazing? No, it's definitely a novelty and they are just having fun with it.
Next: We went for something healthy and highly recommended: The Mirliton Chopped Salad. As everyone has said, it's deeeeelicious. I wanted to marry it while I was on my salad high (I realized that marrying food just isn't sustainable...). Just so you know, it's not very big-- I recommend two people sharing it before your main dish.
Sandwiches: I got the Halloumi Sandwich. I love cheese, and I wasn't certain of what to expect with this dish, so I suppose I really had no expectations. The roll it came on was delicious, the chickpea puree was a great spread, I loved the tahini addition as well, but somehow I couldn't love the cheese. It just didn't have a texture that I am used to and it wasn't a strong enough flavor to balance it out. So...I "hmm" this dish. Not dislike, just..."hmm"...
My friend's dish: Another friend ordered the BLT and the other ordered the Pastrami. He ordered the Lamb Burger. This was described by the server as "gamey" in his initial description. I do not like that word. That sounds like the meat is going to have body odor, soooo I didn't order it! Fortunately for me, my friend did and it was a little overcooked for his liking, so we swapped dishes! HOORAY!! It was pure, premium lamb and the tzatziki and cucumber onion salad were complimentary and DELISH. No B.O. here, folks, just tasty goodness. The server took off the lamb burger because of the overcooked factor AND offered to bring him another one that was rarer. What great service!
Dessert: Yes, I continued my role as sidekick on the bacon-anza and got the "Pig in the Orchard" Bread Pudding. I was in a coma already, but I decided to just finish myself off with this one. The bacon adds really just another novelty factor to this dish. You could easily have just cooked the bread pudding with some of the bacon run-off and been done with it, the bacon taste would have been enough to satisfy the taste. The bacon chunks=overkill. The ice cream neutralizes it ever so slightly and gives it an apple pie savory appeal.
As the Bacon-anza came to a close, we were all turning into little piglets before our eyes with rosier cheeks and a light glaze added to our skin... Thank you Citizen Public House.
