First a few special shout outs today!!! Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister Rhoda :-) I love you honey!!! Welcome to two new "COOKED followers", Mecca Woods my talented movie making cousin and songstress, Ms. Tanja Dixon!
I had a wonderful business lunch about three days ago at the Marathon Grill 16th and Sansom. Honey, I haven't been there since the 80's and they have seriously changed. You knew this??????? Any who, I had the ield greens, asparagus, zucchini, portobello mushrooms, red onion, oven dried tomatoes, pearl barley and couscous. I added the Moroccan chicken. It was seasoned to perfection with a dry rub to die for! The salad dressing was a creamy yet light lemon vinaigrette! The young lady who treated me to the fabulous fare had the chicken pot pie!
Can I tell you how I am going back for that one! Imagine a large white squared off bowl with creamy soup and fat shredded pieces of juicy chicken and in the center of this bowl of heaven, with dark green flecks of tarragon, and a potpourri of veggie colors is a triangular shaped thick crust like dumpling creation! I am dying in a good way! The whole time we are forgetting about the topic of this meeting and going on and on about how delicious this meal was!!!!
It explains why it's one of the most busy lunch time restaurants in the Center City area! Our waitress was amazing I apologize for the fact that her name escapes me. May I ask you all a question? Do look like a movie star??? (Oh you say the sweetest things) Maybe it was my Kristin Hobo by Coach but hopefully not because the host, the manager and some other guy was truly interested in what we thought of our meal!
Ok finally, my Dollycakes! We did not ask for dessert. Yet, these folks wanted to make an impression...which they did! Why???? May I ask did some woman (staff) say "You ladies look like you could use something sweet. So we wanted you to taste this, it's a banana bread pudding." This thing! This incredible thing was RI-DANK-CUL-OUS!!!. They had the nerve and audacity to plate it on a little raspberry and I think chocolate sauce. Can I also ask you why they went ahead and topped it with a little glaze????? NO!!!! Whipped cream you say????.... Heck NO! Yes they did! Party people they did!!!! They went ahead and topped it all off with vanilla bean ice cream! That was not necessary but extremely
DEE-lect-A DILLY-OCIOUS!!!!!!!!!
Please have a wonderful snow day!!!
