| - A great start wen the server drops a bottle of balsamic and a carafe of olive oil with some extremely fresh bread at your table. I wanted a light lunch since I had a big dinner party later, so I fought back the urge to devour the bread.
Before ordering, the host invited me to step into the kitchen to see the specials. They all looked amazing, but I knew they would be massive portions.
I ordered chicken souvlaki, thinking it would be a manageable lunch, but I say "nay nay"! The first thing out was the Greek salad. A whole plate of Greek salad. With a 1/3 pound of feta cheese on top. I planned to end at halfway through.
Then came the main, a healthy portion of perfectly tender and juicy chicken, with a massive amount of lemon roasted potatoes and rice pilaf, accompanied by a perfectly fresh, homemade tsatziki. Normally, I focus in the protein and pass on most of the carbs. This time I started with the potatoes. I never do that!!
A sliver of chicken that I knocked off the plate, and I almost dove to retrieve it off of the carpet.
I gave up halfway through. I never do that either! The gracious host packed me a doggie bag bigger than most meals.
