The lovely lady kept raving about these chickpea fries, so when they arrived I felt a little let down. Masa ciabatta, chimichurri and baba ghanoush

They get their masa from San Julian, a really authentic Mexican restaurant. We started with some masa ciabatta, chimichurri, baba ghanoush, with roast garlic and some anchovy butter. I think it’s classy when you know they can really boost the liquor prices but don’t – Stay cool PLC, stay cool. They have a decent wine list that was much cheaper than I was expecting. You then have the choice to write down your own docket of what you’d like, or your waiter person will happily create a menu for you. There are five categories to choose from in the menu, namely, Salty, Sweet, Umami, Sour, and Bitter, and it’s recommended people order between four and five plates (besides dessert obviously). It was named the Pot Luck Club, and although it has quite a few elemental characteristics of the Test Kitchen, it’s very different, which is why it works so damn well!įor starters, the PLC is more tapas style, with smaller portions, and you’re encouraged order mulitple plates to share. A few years went by and LDR opened another restaurant close by, really close by. It was one of the great meals of my life, and the menu hangs on our study wall with our notes scrawled in the margins. I wanted to really impress the lady, so on our “first year dating anniversary” we went to Luke Dale Robert’s Test Kitchen.
