Maybe it's the jet lag, maybe it's because neither Mom nor I liked what we ordered. But I've gotta dock Cafe Phipps a star.
My husband Rick and I had been away for a week in Hong Kong and my mom wanted to take me out to lunch when I returned. Shame Mom and I normally love Cafe Phipps, and since Mom has a membership at the Phipps Conservatory, she comes here a lot.
Anyway, Mom ordered the turkey meatball sub with a side of citrus coleslaw and she didn't like it one bit. I think my mom forgot that she just doesn't like turkey meatballs, turkey sausages, turkey bacon, etc. As for me, I went for the grilled vegetable wrap which was decent but wildly unspectacular. And I should have ordered a side of that citrus coleslaw. But nope, I went for the lentil salad. I like lentil soup but I'd never had lentil salad before.
And I discovered one thing...........
I hate cold lentils!
Yuck!
I tried forcing them down, 'cos I don't believe in wasting food, but to no avail!
So ya, Mom and I will come back, but now we know what to avoid here!
