I send only my deepest and warmest expressions of gratitude towards Mildred's Temple Kitchen for enriching me with such mouthfuls of joy. Narrowing the choice of what to order off the tantalizing new menu was a challenge indeed but after some deliberation my dining partner Maeve and I made our choices.
First up: The Hotdog.
Yes. If feels like dreams really do come true with this treat. Served in an old school champs cardboard BOX, supported by a homemade bun, and spiced up with homemade mustard (see ya later Kozlik...haha just kidding)! The smell of the buttered cabbage which tops the fennel-dog almost induced a Homer Simpson drooling-while-comatose sensation. When half-way through, I bit into a fleck of hot pepper and I was truly transported somewhere heavenly.
Next in our pickings: GNOCCHI POUTINE!!!
One of those dishes that is so good, it makes you feel a pinch of remorse for going through life all this time without having been tasting such wonderfulness. It is also a dish and a taste that language could never fully live up to and satisfy. Texturally, the gnocchi's were cooked perfectly. Against the chewy and melty cheese curds, and mopped up in the sweet but deep braised oxtail and jus, nothing spells comfort food better.
All gone!
Lastly: ze Flatbread
The first thing you notice when the flatbread arrives in front of you is its fragrant aroma: lemon zest, truffle oil and melted goat's cheese confidently kick-start salivary glands. The chewy flatbread and peppery-fresh arugula add perfect balance.
sighh!
