Donovan and I escaped the scene, charging down 17th street in search of food. I, doused in sweat beneath my 5 bundled layers, shortness of breath, and in ka-hoots with Barney's Co-Op's layout and reluctance for "human body over capacity" in a building - pigeoned my focus at every restaurant I saw: sharply, changing my focus every half second. And there it was.
CAFETERIA.
THE MEAL:
The biscuits are out of this world. They are warm, salty, & fresh. I have to say, Cafeteria is in my top 5 of bread baskets. The blend of salt (a very, very slight hint of cheese) doused in sweet, soft butter, makes this starter a possibility to be a satisfying, high-carb meal on it's own.
As I unapologetically ordered a second biscuit, I went straight to the salad list. I ordered the Autumn Greens: dried cranberries, green apple, butternut squash, toasted pumpkin seeds, and a GIANT goat cheese crouton. What's a girl to do after already having finished two biscuits? Answer: eat it. I asked for a grilled chicken breast on top to give me the protein I needed for the day. Dressing on the side. The salad was great. There is nothing better than a forkful of butternut squash, goat cheese crouton, and chicken breast, lightly dressed, with a crunchy pumpkin seed kicker. Oh la la.
As for dessert: we demanded their red velvet cake warmed. It's four tiers of cake and icing. And the serious cream-cheese icing. No whipped thin stuff. The thick, creamy sweet stuff only.
I asked for the to-go box as I could no longer feed my stomach.
The cake was just as good that night... 4 hours later, on my couch, in front of my computer.
And, yes, my hives went away as soon as I bit into my biscuit.
