I know it has been a while since my last post. This is mostly due to my move down south and a quick east coast trip. I did however stumble upon a friends terrific food blog, which inspired me to get back to my own! I realize that not posting for long stretches certainly can be annoying so I offer my humblest apologies. Inspired by said food blog, I want to give praise to one of my new neighborhood restaurants! There happens to be one shopping center within walking distance of my new apartment, which offers a plethora of culinary delights. Two Mexican restaurants, one chinese, one sushi, two pizza places and an American bistro called Cafe Bliss.
It was blissful. I tried a cup of their chili to start and it was the perfect blend of spicy and cinnamony-sweet. They even offered the cheese and onion topping which I welcomed. It always adds a savory and creamy texture to chili. For my main meal I had the chipotle pulled pork sandwich and the side salad. The dressing on the salad was a dry raspberry vinaigrette. Sweet but not syrupy. The sandwich was on one of those buttery rolls that melts with each bite , and the chipotle seasoning really substituted any authentic smoky flavor that a true pig-pickin would create on the fire. I realize they didn’t have a giant pig cooking back there, and it amazed me what that seasoning can do. The sandwich already included a delicious cole slaw, which anyone who has lived in the south knows is a required condiment for pulled pork. A delicious lunch all around. Can’t wait to go back!
