Jackassalope Food Review

This weekend Emily and I did some fine dining. Friday night we went to The Craftsman, on 43rd Avenue and Lake Street. Many moons ago I blogged about the loss of Molly Quinn's an Irish bar in our neighborhood that was evicted by a greedy landlord. Well, Molly Quinn's moved down the street and The Craftsman is now in its old space. And they imporved tbhe ambiance of the place tenfold. So all's well that ends well. Anyway, we had smoked salmon appetizer and I had a flank steak. Emily had a fish that resembled a snapper. I can't remember the name of the fish, but I definitely had the better food. We'll go again. It is worth checking out. It's yet another business that makes me think our neighborhood will be a very hip place to live in a few years (when we'll be too old to be hip, not that I ever was hip).

Then on Saturday, Emily was watching the morning news to see the temperature, so she would how warmly to dress for her morning run. In the process she saw a story about a breakfast spot that makes creme brulee french toast. It turned out to be a coffee shop, Wilde Roast Cafe, but a coffee shop with some of the best damn breakfast food I've ever had. I had an egg quesadilla. We were really there for the creme brulee french toast, but they were sold out, due to the publicity on the TV I guess. They also have a dinner menu that looks awesome. I can't wait to go back.
