Food Alert!     In this carb infested country it is hard to find a menu without 98% carbs from appetizers to entrees and on to desserts.  Well, tonight we found a place that is almost Carb-Free!  A little hole in the wall, like most places here.  Quirky decor….flattened cardboard boxes nailed to the walls like wallpaper.  Mis-matched furniture, lamps and Art.  A beautiful Collie named Duke “owns” the place with his nasty, curmudgeon owner.  American Jazz music – some of the old, wonderful stuff.  The owner has made his own mix.  He may be a grouch, but he knows good music and good food.  The food is very innovative…we had an appetizer of goat cheese melted over toast and drizzled with local honey.  I wish I had a menu here to list some of the different choices…they all sounded so good…it was hard to choose.  For dinner, Andy had steak tartare with Gorgonzola and a bit of something spicy.  I had salmon tartare with avocado, ginger and a balsamic reduction.  Lots of salmon, tuna and steak tartare on the menu…I don’t think anything was cooked, or swimming in olive oil!  As good as it was, we were surprised to be the only diners…until we realized it was not even 6pm…the chef told us it would be SRO later tonight when the Italians eat…and tonight is the final soccer match…like a super bowl of soccer.  SO SORRY I won’t be up to see that!  LOL. We will be taking guests here often this summer…as long as they like tartare…or really neat appetizers.
