While the origin of the Jucy Lucy is a long standing debate in the Twin Cities, you can find this cheese-filled burger at bars across the area. For my taste test, I ventured to a newer version at Groveland Tap.
On first bite, the cheese is bubbling hot, so the JL is usually severed with a warning to let it cool while you enjoy the fries. Believe me, it’s worth the wait.
While the Groveland Lucy was good, I’m still a fan of Matt’s. next time, proximity may not win out.
The nation’s capitol is sweeter than ever. Meet Co Co. Sala, a restaurant devoted to chocolate. Seriously.
They take chocolate so seriously that they offer multi-course dessert experience. And chocolate drinks. And more chocolate.
Here’s the “Chocolate Onyx,” a taste explosion of dark chocolate, salted caramel, and brownie with sides of dark chocolate sorbet and a toffee bonbon.
And if you need a little more than something sweet, be sure to grab the lamb sliders. Bigger than bite-size, flavored with curry and coconut and complimented with potatoes and a lime yogurt that works to bring out every possible flavor.
Do yourself a favor and check it out next time you’re in DC.
This winter, I traveled to Roatan, part of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. In the spirit of Warner weather, I give you a photo from the place where I had one of the best meals of 2012, La Sierna.
The restaurant may not be much to look at, but you can beat the location on the East End of Roatan. And then there’s the food: the fish was the catch of the day, as in literally caught that day. Fresh salsa was a medley of fresh veggies served with homemade tortilla chips. A simple, healthy delicious meal served with the waves lapping below.
And if you time your trip right, you may even get to see the turtles, as the water around La Sierna serves as a turtle rescue sanctuary.
Take a break from the snow and think beach for a bit this afternoon.
