Night out on the town

[tamidon]

We went out with folks to Lord Hobo and had a nice time. They recently got a Best of Boston nod and seemed really crowded and loud, but with a good energy. Fantastic french fries,really. The truffle mayo was good and the thai curry left me "eh". The barbecued sweetbreads were awesome and I got trowa_barton, feste_sylvain and Seph to try the, but kimberlogic just couldn't do it.They were really tasty tho. The charcuterie plate was good, but didn't have 1/2 the things on it the waitress said it would, it needed a sweet element, and the bread rounds were undertoasted slightly stale slices of Rudy baguettes.The Chipotle Chocolate martini was good, but I really want a Hot for Teacher that kinberlogic got and clearly really really enjoyed. hammercock, your Soylent Green, I'm sorry, was just nasty to me. feste_sylvain had 3 different beers he liked. They seemed interesting, but a smoked beer was just something I don't like with a smoky taste.

Edit: the vinaegar they brought Seph and feste_sylvain seemed to actually be balsamic vinaegraitte, not cider or malt vinaegar. odd

when i've been there, it was too loud for a reasonable conversation, so i doubt i'm going back.
the fries were good though.

Had to numb myself to handle the crowds.
I do regret not being there when it was the "B Side"

The Hot for Teacher was really excellent. Soylent Green, with the Chartreuse and cucumber, is definitely an acquired taste; I just happen to have acquired the taste for Chartreuse. :-}

Oh, that all sounds good, even great, even the parts that you didn't much like :)

Man, oh, man, I am going to be thinking about a Chipotle Chocolate martini now for a while!
