| - LALALALALALALALAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! That's my taste-buds singing the praises of Chef Beckett's newest bit o' heaven! I was lucky enough to attend the "pre-opening" and was ever so happy. Not surprisingly, because i've experienced Chef B's cuisine @ Canal & Metro. And yes THAT GRILLED CHEESE IS BACK! You know the one, the secret tasty bread, the fabulously mixture of cheeses, with the perfect touch of prosciutto. Winter coat, here you come!
The preview night my friend & I had the chicken & dumplings. INSANE, my friend honestly asked for a spoon so she could get every last drop of the sauce, we had the grilled cheese (see above lalalalalaaaa), the osso bucco.......OMG! By far the most amazing dish,the veggies, the spaeztel (sp?) even the kids menu looks good!!
This was until I went back Saturday & had the roasted chicken, so delicious, so dreaming about it now BUT my dad had the green chile stew which was even better and I don't know how that's even possible....something has to be off....BUT IT'S NOT!! The cornbread that came with the green chile heaven in a bowl is the best cornbread I have ever eaten. That brings me to the basket of bread they brought out before our meals......wheat rolls that melted in your mouth, warm and perfect but not nearly as phenomenal as the cheesy bacony biscuits that came too......
All good things must come to an end so we had dessert. If you only listen to me once, do yourself a favor and order either the s'mores (chocolate covered bacon, seemingly homemade marshmallow, out of this world graham crackers and this tasty peanut butter shmear stuff) the combination of the salty and sweet sent fireworks shooting throughout my mouth or wait, could that have been from the creme brulee? The most perfect custard with the crispy carmel shell.. INSANE!! You thought Phoenix arrived when we got Nordstrom's or Neiman Marcus? NAH, we've arrived because BECKETT'S is here.
Last thing, the service is impeccable, no complaints there. No attitude, actually people in the service industry pleased to serve you and it doesn't hurt they are ALL easy on the eyes. They know their stuff and it shows. Especially, if you sit in the car with the game on, while waiting for your ever tardy daughter, the front of house boss has really long jumper cables.........hey, that stuff is important.
Ok, really this is the last thing......make a reservation because I'm not the only one that feels this way. Making mine for tomorrow now, its been a week and i'm starting to twitch!!
THANK YOU BECKETTS I NEEDED YOU! (and to renew my gym membership~)
