What are you waiting for?
A coworker took me out to lunch yesterday, quite stoked to turn me on to a hidden discovery tucked away in downtown.
This is one of the graces of getting older, you get really excited about finding good cuisine, lol.
So we pull to this quaint lil french bakery, not much to look at, but with genuine motherland chefs and product.
I had never had pastrami like this before, my exposure being limited to the general storebought pressed crap laced with the lil white fat nuggets, bleh...
These guys even made their own mustard, which had a dijon pungency mixed a bit of vinegar and a slight basalmic tinge. Was fun taking it apart in my head, and it was obviously the thing that really set the meat off, one constantly complimenting the other. Im not a big fan of the hard bread but I easily got past that in exchange for what was in it.
But sandwiches are but a sideline attraction for these guys, after all it is a bakery.
What I have found is this the ultimate breakfast date. I wouldnt think twice about throwing on a hoodie on and driving 25 miles just sample their array of TOP SHELF treats while sippin a cappy made with real turkish coffee. When I say lets light up with a french cigar, I mean light up your fukin taste buds with a thin roll pastry stuffed to the gills with homeade french mousse and sealed with the blackest of strong chocy. But I think my fave is their rums balls. Theyre like 2 inches in diameter, and altho 5 bucks each, I thought nothing of buying 2 more to take home and wake up to this morning.
Most I have tried have been like "ok, so you put a buncha rum and fudge nuggets in some choc cake and rolled it up, big fukin deal". This shit is so omg its like "eaterbating". and me not being a sweet fanatic thats saying alot.
The other thing that sets this place apart, and could be a perk or drawback depending who you are, is these guys like to talk, they want to know what you think. Some folks dont like to be hovered around while theyre eating, but given how shitty and apathetic most service is nowdays, I really didnt mind at all, plus the 2 chefs bust on each other regularly, and seem to have little running bets about new ingredients or mixtures that they tried and want the customers to settle their arguments. Pretty funny to see them taking their craft seriously enough that they would be in contest with each other to pass the time.
I look forward to dropping in on these guys and watch them light up that I came back and brought some friends. :)
