| - Ok, what I'm about to write is going to sound crazy to some and put me in the MAJOR DORK catagory but---I don't care.
My personal trainer has me on a specific meal plan and I'm just sick and tired of grilled chicken, fish, veggies and brown rice. Based on pictures the food seemed NON greasy and extremely light. I ordered the mix grill of any two skewers with Lamb and Shrimp being the choice. It came with hummus, feta salad, and vegetable cous cous. When I got home I took one bite of the lamb/shrimp and it was absolute HEAVEN! Now---listen. I wasn't "JUST" hungry. There's a difference between saying something is delicious (nachos, pizza, cake) vs. something that is HEAVEN. The reason why I used the word Heaven is because there was no denying FRESHNESS about each ingredient. There were exotic spices and flavors added that didn't overpower the food at all and sent my taste buds into a frenzy!
I come from a culinary arts background and I honestly haven't had food like this in a very long time. I'm not in the culinary business anymore, but there was a time when I ate like this ALL the time.
I have a collection of Bible movies (boring, I know you'll say) but in these movies as well in the bible they ate food like this all the time. I swear---when I was eating my mixed grill I felt like I was sitting at the table with JESUS! LOL---no lie! I can just imagine dining on these fresh ingredients while listening to a parable. LOL-- No msg, no red #40, no other words I can't pronouce. Just plain food cooked and prepared as it was originally intended to be.
I called the owner---which I NEVER do, and told him how wonderful EVERY SINGLE BITE tasted. (I didn't mention I saw Jesus...haha) He was very happy and remembered me and what I ordered when I picked it up.
It's amazing how we forget that less is so much more and we don't always need butter, gravy, salt, and cheese to get flavor. I am truly amazed that not only did I remain intact with my meal plan, but I actually ENJOYED my healthy food the same as if I was eating a pepperoni pizza!
Staff was SUPER friendly and what really sealed the deal was my MEDIUM RARE lamb was ACTUALLY medium rare! LOVE IT!
