To quote the great American and Francophile Benjamin Franklin, "Bacon is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." Pete's first lunch back in the gold ol' U S of A was a classic good ol' U S of A combo of bacon and ice cream. Pete had a roasted bacon, Granny Smith apple, red onion, and cheddar melt and a bowl of spicy gazpacho (really peppery with lots of onion and zucchini) from Blind Tiger followed by a dulce de leche ice cream cone (sweet goodness) from Cone
s. Pete is not a bacon-obsessive like some folks who shall remain nameless--staring at you Ms. Baconista--but he does love him some bacon. (FYI: the Blind Tiger is starting to think outside the Bahn Mi, they have added quite a few new bacon options to their menu, including, among other things, a bacon and live pate.) Pete does scream for ice cream though. If only someone would make bacon ice cream... Or macaroons like the ones Pete snacked on in France. Flavors: nougat; coffee; raspberry; ginger; lemon; pistachio; and basil with pineapple.
That melt looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThe food is really good there. Pete would have put spicy mustard on the sandwich but he knows Baconista would not like that. It comes without none.
ReplyDeleteI remember once being easily talked into that fruity johnny walker flavor at cones by the radiant gelato gal.
ReplyDeletePete believes the Johnny Walker is ten bucks for a cup; and a dollar to sample it. Better be some good fucking gelato.

ReplyDeleteoops. Pete is correct as usual. It just felt like I was eating a good deed. I don't even really like gelato unless it's budweiser.
