CATSUP!!

June 13th, 2010

Uncle Moo just observed that I sure did a LOT of eating on June 12 and 13….the 26 new posts I just put up actually span the past 3 months….better late than never! :-)

300 East again

June 13th, 2010

I know I am like a broken record with 300 East, but you have to come try it and you will see that it really is the best restaurant. And it is 3 blocks from our house, so we go there a lot….

This go-round, I went for a Special Hat Trick – I got the special soup, special sandwich, AND the special side!

Crab and corn chowder

Black forest ham and brie pannini on 9 grain, with a side of Basmati rice with edamame

Fall salad for Uncle Moo – check out these ingredients – Port Soaked Cherries, Goat Cheese and Toasted Pine Nuts over Mixed Greens with Pancetta Dressing with Chicken

Braswell’s Pub

June 13th, 2010

We have had great luck with Al Fresco dining lately….Braswell’s is another local joint who have figured out how to do outdoor properly. Their back patio is fairly large, and features a generous covered area with ceiling fans and tvs and whatnot. And their food is….DELICIOUS!

Spring Rolls

Burger with Fried Egg!! A Gus-burger in Charlotte!

Stir fry

Pike’s!

June 13th, 2010

We are on a roll with Pike’s.

Chicken minestrone

Quiche du jour

Mac n cheese

Crab Cakes from Uncle Moo

June 13th, 2010

Crab meat was on sale, so Uncle Moo whipped up these little suckers….YUMMY

Foodie Call – Dressler’s

June 13th, 2010

We have been doing really well with Foodie Call. They are WAY WAY WAY better than Takeout Taxi. In fact, the only problem I seem to have with Foodie Call is that I can never remember to take the pictures of the food before I start chowing down!!

Foodie call from Dressler’s was especially good….so good, I MIGHT be willing to go see them up close and personal. Maybe. It is hard to leave the house when Foodie Call will bring you whatever you want.

Beef carpaccio

Crab dip

Seafood and grits

Duck

Cheesecake

Sweet potato ravioli, and more…

June 13th, 2010

I could eat at 300 East every day. If they would feed me for free.

This sweet potato ravioli with cream sauce was AMAZING.

along with the tater soup…

Sicilian pizza…

And Brownie Sundae a la mode!

Mortimer’s

June 13th, 2010

Mortimer’s is a cute little pub at the Epicentre. Good tunes and good eats!

Sliders for Uncle Moo…

Pannini for me

Village Tavern?

June 13th, 2010

I think this was a yummy lunch at the Village Tavern. That looks like their patio furniture! Al Fresco dining at its finest.

BBQ chicken pizza for me….

Steak salad for Tillie

Pickle Chips!!

June 13th, 2010

That’s right, fried pickle chips!! With ranch!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Just make sure, when ordering these at Ed’s, that you ask for them chipped. Otherwise you might end up with a basket of fried pickle spears….EWWWWWWWWWWW. Somehow, the chip versus spear aesthetic makes all the difference.
