Cocina Del Sol (Kitchen of the Sun)

Carving Board Cafe

Another week at the Carving Board. Line was long but the wait wasn't too bad. B got the burger with a side of pasta salad. J tried the BBQ sandwich which was pretty good, but a more uniform mix of sauce and meat would have been ideal.

Brick Oven Pizza

Called ahead and got the "Swamp Thing" (Helen of Troy actually, but it's covered in green stuff hence the name) but it was somewhat doubtful whether we would actually get the meal we ordered. Everything worked out alright in the end but Brick Oven always leaves us questioning the service...just a little bit.

Cafe Monteil

I think that's what this place is called. We usually just call it "the place above Kitchen of the Sun."

B finished his French Toast in about 12 seconds. J&J got the chicken sandwich with huge capers. The sweet potato chips are nothing to write home about and the hash browns were a little under-crisped. The chicken sandwich was good except for the fact that it's difficult to put a sandwich down once it has started to drip onto the plate. I think that guy on Hell's Kitchen would probably kill someone if they served such a drippy sandwich on the show.

Standard Day at The Carving Board

The usual for J & B. N got some sort of cheesy sandwhich with a side salad...Not much else to report here.

A Quick Inspection

The lunch crew blog has been dying a slow death but I think it's time to revive it. I'll start by posting links to the Thomas Jefferson Health District reports for some of our favorite lunch spots.
