right, everyone! i have kind of completely ignored my foodie to do list. i don't think i meant to, buuuut i did. luckily for y'all, i've gone to a few of those places to eat in the last 6 months and am here to share a quick bit about them all!
1) best flatbread: rocky mountain flatbread company
i went with julia one time last semester, and omagawd it was amazing. i had flatbread that was on special, it had cured ham, garlic mozzarella, capers, artichokes and cherry tomatoes. i swear i devoured that! we also indulged in some sangria and baileys creme brulee. right. nooow i'm sure you want to go! it is as amazing as it sounds. ahhh, yum.
2) vegetarian/cool vibe: the naam
this place was cool, and verrryyy busy. we probably went at a bad time! i just remember awkwardly waiting in the doorway, shuffeling as people were leaving and setting up reservations. but, aside from that, it was pretty good! i got the naam dragon bowl, with peanut sauce, rice, veggies, tofu and sprouts. it was defs one of those things that taste better the second day!
3) lebanese food: nuba
awesome. just awesome. we shared a few mezzes in traditional style, including the amazing sea scallops, grilled halloumi cheese (again, amazing) and baba ganooj and the lamb hushwie. it was awesome. defs going back again!
4) cheese and bread: pan e fromaggio
i was super lucky on this one! there was a living social deal for $40 worth of product for only $20. i bought some brie, some strange bubbly artichoke dip, some very smoky red pepper dip, a matcha rice crispy square, a panini, 2 loaves of bread and some raspberry drink thing. yeah, the artichoke dip was weird and i couldn't make myself eat it past day 2, and one of the loaves of bread went mouldy after 4 days.. but that could've just been me.
5) street food: japadog
julia and i stopped off at japadog downtown before seeing a movie this weekend! oh, it was so delicious! i got a kurobuta terimayo, which is apparently one of their most popular ones. it was so yummy, i defs completely devoured it, even with the onions (which i am usually not really a fan of). i want another. now. om. nom.
6) liquid chocolate with chilli: thierry: chocolatierie patisserie cafe
oh. my. god. this was amazing. a while back we watched the movie chocolat, and since i'm in luuuurve with spicy food, i HAD to go and try the basque chilli hot chocolate. all i have to say is super rich and super thick and had a lovely hint of spice. totally worth the money! and the macarons they had were pretty amazing too!
so, that's all the places i've been to since i started the foodie to do list, i'll be sure to keep y'all updated on whatever happens next!
