| - I think I just found my new favorite lunch spot and as much as my helpless body had hoped it would be some healthy, green-chic organic place, it's not, because this extra ordinary place with its' simple and short menu has just literally blown me away in smithereens.
You know how Jimmy John's has a light up neon sign that says 'Free Smells?' They should be dead ashamed of themselves and tear it down because the moment you walk through this place, it is nirvana to your smelling senses. That freshly baked butter smell hits you and all you want to do is just twirl around like you're a kid at Disneyland. You can tell that everything here is homemade and made in small batches, from the limited number of pies they have in the case to the small drink dispensers. Rather inexpensive, 4.99 a pie and they have coupons to use right there at the front counter. There's not much room to sit and eat, it's more of a come and go kind of place and that's okay because pies are easy to eat that way.
I ordered the chicken and mushroom pie and it was so warm and flaky. Inside, it had huge chunks of mushroom and real shredded chicken with a sauce that was so decadent, it reminds me of the stews that take hours to make. More personally, it reminded me of all the savory pastries I used to eat when my parents took me to Le Madeleine (rip). At first when you look at the pie, you're probably thinking it won't fill you up - which you're probably right, you need two. But depending on what filling you get, halfway through the rich and tender filling it suddenly hits you like a brick in the stomach and surprises you at the same time. It doesn't mean that I didn't finish it though, because John Cena doesn't quit and neither do I.
I know I should be talking and reviewing about the filling more but in my case, I NEED to talk about the puff pastry. As a cook, puff pastry is one of the hardest things to make from scratch, period. It is one of the most fickle things to handle and one change in temperature can kill the 'puff' in 'puff pastry.' When you watch cooking/baking shows, all the chefs use puff pastry from the frozen aisle, never made from scratch. Even as they prepare the frozen sheet of pastry, they warn viewers not to handle it too much. It's also kind of expensive in my opinion too, but when you realize how hard it is to make it, it slightly makes sense. The fact that this local place is basing its business entirely on puff pastry blows my mind and it's literally some of the best that I've had. I can't wait to try their croissants next.
I didn't try this place for the longest time because from afar, I have no idea why, but the sign made it look like a vape shop. I'm glad we have Yelp because without it I wouldn't have even stepped inside this plaza to try this place. Only con? It's not open on Mondays, the day of the week where I need something this heavenly to remind me that everything will be okay, even if I did neglect to do all the chores I meant to do the weekend before.
