Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
At Ted’s Butcherblock this evening.
Garlic Roasemary Roasted Chicken with Honey-Mustard Jus / Bacon Braised Greens / 5 Spice Glazed Carrots / Cinnamon French Toast with Praline Sauce & Whipped Cream
The cinnamon french toast looked so good, I forgot to take a picture of it before digging in.
Another totally awesome dinner at Ted’s Butcherblock tonight.
Burgundy Braised Beef Short Rib with Sun-dried Tomato & Preserved Lemon Gremolata / Hand Rolled Black Pepper Oriecchetti with Tuscan-style Kale, Fennel and Garlic infused Bacon / Mushroom Demi-Glace / Carrot Cake with Coffee Caramel & Sweet Fromage Blanc
My new favourite thing to wind down the week with is the Friday night dinner at Ted’s Butcherblock.
The best deal in town: $12 for for a hot, home-cooked, gourmet meal. Each Friday, Chef Eva prepares a creative, restaurant-style meal, including dessert
Ted’s has been around for a few years now, but aside from the occasional trip there to ogle at all the neat meat and not-meat items, I hadn’t gone there too often. A few weeks ago a few CSCLUG members gathered there for a Friday night dinner. It was my first one and the food was pretty phenomenal. I’ve made it a regular Friday stop for the past few weeks now, and each time the food never fails to put a smile on my face. It’s a nice place to relax with some good food and to indulge the inner foodie.
After dinner (and the wine tasting should you choose), it’s also hard to walk out of Ted’s without picking up something else, like the house roasted Wagyu beef from the deli, the very tempting hunks of meat in the butcher case, or all the goodies in the freezer.
So after a long week, head over to Ted’s Butcherblock for a nice relaxing dinner. Then bring something back home with you to throw on the grill for the next day.
Met a bunch of fellow CSCLUGers at Ted’s Butcherblock today for one of their $12 Friday night dinners. Today’s menu was grilled domestic shrimp with truffled summer succotash, crisp parmesan grit cake with cauliflower buttermilk puree.
First of all, cauliflower buttermilk puree? Totally not yuck like you might think. In fact, if you didn’t read the menu, you’d never know it was even made of cauliflower. I wanted more of it on my plate. Shrimp: Yum. Grit cake: excellent with the puree.
Everything on the plate was really yummy.
For dessert there were a couple of Chocolate-Banana Eclairs
Delicious.
Yeah, I have to go back for more of these $12 Friday night dinners.
