Food Critic or Not
We go out to eat, a lot. More often than we should anyway. But we always avoid chain restaurants, and try to find local restaurants, or new places to try.
Last week Lydia was busier than busy with a week long event called Fresh Week. It was all about eating local fresh produce, local products and sustainability. Lydia could tell you more about it. But as part of the event she got together with a few local restaurateurs who buy and prepare local products in their restaurants to do a farm to fork dinner. One of Lydia’s former co-workers and good friends is now the proud co-owner and chef at a place called Caffe Niche. We were already fans of Adrian’s cooking, so when he and Ethan bought Caffe Niche and re-created the menu we were more than happy to show our support. We are almost regulars there.
Anyway, Caffe Niche was one of the local restaurants doing the farm to fork dinners, and we of course had to do go partake.
I think it was the best meal I have had at a restaurant since I was in Europe maybe. I can’t even begin to describe how good it was. So I will post pictures of each course, and you can see what you missed out on.
