I
ordered the Millionaire Burger – certified angus chuck, white cheddar, bacon,
carmelized demi onions, lettuce, tomato, house sauce on a toasted brioche bun
and served with my choice of Herb Parmesan Fries.
I visited with my neighbor, Sandy. We arrived about 10:00 a.m. We talked to the ladies up front…asked if it was okay to go watch the bakers. Yes!
The long rolled out flat pieces of the dough were taken back to the work table. Using this neat baker tool which is a six piece cutter all connected…they begin to cut the dough from bottom to the top. (This would be perfect us, Jo Martin…every piece is perfect.) Now for all you quilters they use the big plastic ruler which looks just like our six inch ruler… out comes the cutter wheel. (Why these people would be great quilters.) When they get to the end the baker come back with the ruler and cutter…cutting diagonally thereby creating this long piece of shaped dough. (It looks a lot like a sports team banner.)
Frst thing we watched today was the making of croissants by starting at the bottom of dough which is the longest part of dough…and rolling it up to the pointy part…keep repeating.
I ordered a Ham and Cheese in a croissant served with a salad with a balsamic dressing and their homemade croutons.
Lunch was followed by a vitist to their Harvest Market next door….and looked at everything…now I am looking for a recipe that uses
lobster mushrooms…
Almond Croissant
I visited with my cousin Tiffany. She comes to Phoenix once and a while to work from her office in Reno, Nevada. We always try to get together for lunch.
Tiffany ordered the Vig Salad – arugula, kale, apples, strawberries, candied pecans, Crow’s diary goat cheese with lemon poppy dressing. This salad looked fresh and delicious. She said that it was very good.
I ordered the Vig Burger – Rovery Diary Wagyu beef, cheddar cheese, avocado, caramelized onions, pickled jalapenos, house bacon and Vig sauce served with French fries. My burger was delicious…and the French fries were very tasty.
Our server was wonderful and very welcoming. I loved the atmosphere that he created.
My grandson and I visited this restaurant during one of our road trips - this one to Willcox.. It serves up smoked meat in a railroad car. We were not that hungry so we shared a meal for dinner. The food was delicious.
We ordered Fried Dill Pickles...and then shared a 1/ 2 pound burger with Swiss cheese, onions, tomatoes and lettuce with fries.
I just made these for breakfast this morning for breakfast for the first time. They are easy to make and delicious.
1.
Preheat your oven to 400*F.
2.
Place the 2 bananas broken into large pieces
and the butter in a small baking dish and roast
until the bananas and butter are a little bit
browned and the bananas are very soft when
you press them with a fork, about 15 minutes.
3. Turn the oven down to 250*F
and heat your waffle iron to tis highest setting.
4. Using a fork or a potato
masher, crush the bananas directly in their baking dish with the
butter.
5. Transfer the mixture to a
large bowl and whisk in the eggs and the sour cream. Whisk in
The baking powder, salt, cinnamon,
and cloves. Stir in the whole wheat
flour. Be careful
not to overmix – just stir it
until everything is combined.
6. Spray your waffle iron with
cooking spray. Add enough batter to your
waffle iron to cover
Most of the surface area (the
exact amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron.)
Close the waffle iron and cook the waffle until the iron has stopped
steaming and the
waffle is golden brown and crisp,
about 4 minutes, but the exact timing will depend on the
heat of the your waffle iron and
the size of your waffle. Transfer the
waffle to a sheet pan
and keep it warm in the 250*F oven
while you repeat the process with the rest of your
batter (spray in between waffles
as needed).
7. Serve the waffles warm with
the sliced banana, extra sour cream, and maple syrup.
I went by myself to see if it was big enough for a unit board meeting…and it isn’t…but maybe in September…we
would do okay on the patio….but it might still be hot…yikes! I ordered the two eggs scrambled…and they were
delicious…with bacon…which was too greasy (even though I ordered it crisp)..and hash browns but they were hash
whites (even though I ordered them crisp)…and rye toast which was wondeful…soft and yet toasted and buttered. I was happy enough with my meal…next time I will try something
different.
My neighbor Sandy and I went there for an early dinner. We are so boring but we share the same
thoughts…when trying a new place…order your favorite meal…so she ordered the
Broccoli and Beef…and I ordered the Mongolian Beef…and it was okay but I wasn’t
impressed like all the reviews stated.
