  • Project 365 - 010412

    With my ethnic background is it any wonder that I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to food?

    Today, we dined at le Chalet for lunch. Fondue and Crepes. I've only ever been there one other time. Both times for crepes.

    Now, I tell you the dessert crepes are totally divine. I have not been disappointed with them but something can be said about meals with crepes. Had a crepe breakfast at Village Inn once (or was that IHOP?) Either way, it fell into the sweet is for dessert category. Just a personal preference, mind you. I veer away from Sweet & Sour, BBQ, and teriyaki dishes for that reason. And, I never had a liking to Chef Boyardee, either.

    Well, just when I was resigning to think that I will never like any entrees there behold.... for #Project365 - The Hanging Man.

    Such an elaborate display. Just the chef wheeling out the cart was cause for a gander. The smell of gently seasoned and seared meat trailed behind then we watched the chef pour what I assumed was cooking cherry or a port wine. She lit it up in flames and proceeded to pour this flaming liquid down over the meat. Several times.

    Flambé! What a show. Yes, I'm trying that next time.

    Oh and I'm getting a dessert crepe too.
