Weekend in food
Had a lot of good (and some not-so-good) food over the last few days and wanted to share. Sorry for the bad cell phone pics.
Friday night: Boulevard Woodgrill Deconstructed Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos. Excellent. Even one of our friends who is originally from Mexico deemed them excellent.
Saturday afternoon: Lunch at Rabbit. I really wanted to like Rabbit, but I didn’t. I didn’t like the lettuce or the dressing on my cobb salad - 2 key ingredients. I couldn’t figure out how it was possible NOT to like a salad that has so many of my favorite toppings on it. Also, I didn’t ask for the chicken. I wasn’t charged for it, so I didn’t complain. The grilled cheese sandwich was nothing different from the ones I make at home. (I make a mean grilled cheese, though.)
I’m not done with Rabbit yet, and will definitely give it more chances. I almost wish they consulted with me before they opened to the public. I would have told them to use a different dressing on the salad, chop and toss it better, and I would have told them to add some type of tomato dipping sauce to the grilled cheese. (look at the grilled cheese plate - there is even the perfect little spot for a little dipping container.)
Sunday lunch: Fried green tomatoes and mac and cheese from Restaurant 3. Both were wonderful. The fried green tomato appetizer wasn’t on the brunch menu, but because Restaurant 3 rocks, they whipped it up for me anyways. The mac and cheese is not as greasy as it might look in the picture. Underneath the melted cheese is a perfectly creamy dish. Might be some of the best mac and cheese in Arlington. These 2 dishes together are a perfect combination.
On Sunday evening, my cousin and I had an awesome dinner at America Eats Tavern, and I documented the dinner with much better photography. Will get that posted soon.
Hope you had a great weekend, and hope this week speeds by as fast as last weekend did!
