| - This was a veritable who's who of the twitter/yelp scene. i felt honored just to be there. after breakfast at LGO we went to OTFM just because we could, and saw Nathan S (and Maura, with Buckley and Mabel), Andrew K, Julia T, Sam L., and Joel L. among others I'm sure. My wife and I brought our son, The One, and annoyed everyone with the stroller which in all likelihood would have been much more annoying if it were earlier in the day.
That would have been a small price to pay if we *could* have gotten there earlier because we could have had some of the legendary bread that everyone talks about. as it was we were too late, and all we had to choose from was a block of rye and I think a sundried tomato loaf.
The burrito that Andrew was eating was sporting an amazing looking tortilla, buttery and wonderful. But... we weren't there to eat, we were there to buy stuff for dinner that was consistent with our new (depressing) quasi-vegan lifestyle. And OTFM did not disappoint. Someone was running around with some sexy-lookin' purple cauliflower and so being the follower that I am, I had to have some. Although they were out one of the workers tracked me down and said that he had some more coming out, which I of course appreciated. They also had orange cauliflower which I wish I had gotten. We ended up baking broccoli and purple cauliflower with some olive oil and salt and pepper and it was pretty delish.
We also got some really tasty tomatoes and oranges. Fresh and flavorful. This may sound dumb but I actually haven't tasted such a tomato-y tomato in years and it really added a lot to what we made. (If you must know, some guacamole with blended onion and serrano pepper, plus tomato chunks. Add in some garlic salt and a squeeze of lemon maybe and you won't know what to do with yourself.
Anyway we'll definitely be back--maybe even this saturday. I'm sure we'll see many Yelpers there... can't wait.
