Wow. Been busy and haven't posted in quite a while. Got a few things to talk about. Went to a few restaurants.
Tried the new Longstreet's. Enjoyed the Hoisin BBQ Pork Flatbread Pizza. It was crispy, but a little soggy as I got to the middle, however it tasted good. It had a combination of ingredients including, pulled pork tossed with the hoisin bbq sauce, roasted red peppers, scallions and carrot sticks. Went nice with my sweet tea.
Finally tried Foode. I like the idea they are trying to push. I don't particularly care for the space they are in. I can't believe with the amount of time it took them to open up and they still have to go outside then back inside to bring you your food. Doesn't seem like real good planning to me, I think they could have found a more conducive space for a restaurant downtown. On to the food. I ordered what was called the Not so Sloppy Joe. Maybe they were trying to be ironic or something. It was actually the most sloppy Joe I have ever eaten. While the flavors were good, they didn't knock my socks off. I enjoyed the fries more than the sandwich.
Went to La Petite Auberge for the first time in like 30 years. While the food was way better than I remember it from my pre-Prom dinner back in the early 80's, there is better food to be had for the price in Fredericksburg. I had the Shad Roe wrapped in bacon, which was tasty if a little bit heavy. The sides that accompanied the dish were nothing to write home about. Skipped their dessert and walked downed to Soup & Taco and got some Tres Leches cake to go. Mmmm.
