I probably shouldn't say delight, because there was nothing 'light' about these two meals! This has been a weird week to say the least and I've eaten out more than normal. Lucky for you it was at yummy places that I want to share. **Please excuse the iphone pics...I'm just too much of a pansy to bust out a real camera at the dinner table. As a matter of fact, the Bread Winners' waitress totally called me out on taking a pic and said it was "a white girl thing." She then admitted that she does it too. Ummm, ok.
Wednesday night I met my friend Allison at Bread Winners in Inwood Village. I just love that little area. Lots of great restaurants, bars, and cute shops! I've never had a bad experience at Bread Winners and I think their brunch is one of the best. I've only been to dinner here once before, but they recently changed their menu so thought I'd give it a try. I had the Pan Seared Shrimp with Sharp Cheddar Grits (with a honey sriracha sauce) and Allison tried the Turkey Sweet Potato Meatloaf (with leek mashed potatoes, roasted tomato demi). Well....YUM! The portions were huge, so I think the price was appropriate. So many other things looked great on the menu, I'll be back soon!
Look at me...I got both dishes in one picture.
Thursday was a full day and I didn't eat much, so I wanted a burger in my life! I'd heard lots about Liberty Burger and decided to stop there on my way home. I don't know if it was because they just got mentioned in D Magazine, but this place was packed. As in, line literally out the door kind of packed. I figured this was a good sign and so I joined the masses. You order at a counter and then they bring you the food. After standing there for a while and noticing all these women cutting to meet someone further in line...rude!!...I noticed there was a separate register for to-go orders. Adios! I ordered the Napa Burger (86 the green olives and aioli on the side) and an order of sweet potato fries. The burger came with Gorgonzola cheese, wild arugula, oven-roasted tomatoes, green olives, onion, and basil garlic aioli. The burger was juicy and had great flavor. The fries were spot on. I had to wait 20 minutes for my food and I think it would have been even better if I dined in, but that line was out of control. My total was around $11 and I feel that's pretty average for a "fancy burger place" these days. Their desserts looked amazing, but I had to draw the line somewhere. The elliptical was already calling. I'll be back for you, milkshake.
Fancy picture. Watch out, food stylists. HA!
