(date night, toddler-free review! nothing new to report on the toddler front....)
Because I liked Wade Hagemann at Blanca so much, and because CH's colleagues keep telling us how yummy Blue Ribbon Artisan Pizza is, we decided to give it another try - even though last time the food was just ok.
This time: super-crowded at 5:45 (isn't everyone still eating Thanksgiving leftovers??), got heated patio seating on a freezing night....Not a super-auspicious start.
Salad: ok.
Bread, squash soup: good not great.
Still don't like Hagemann's red sauce: last time I thought it was sucky, and this time I tasted CH's: still yukky, too sweet and too much oregano.
And though CH liked his homemade pickles, I thought they were too sweet. They did nothing for me.
I FOUND THE HOLY GRAIL, THOUGH! Once you figure out what to order at this place, it is awesome - strictly for the hard-core foodie!
Signature white pizza: ricotta, housemade mozzarella, lemon zest - I don't even like lemon really and this was AWESOME.
Dessert: everyone talks about their butterscotch pudding. I don't even like butterscotch! But we decided, what the hell, we'll taste it. OH MY GOD - AWESOME. It has this amazing salt - it just left a warm, happy happy feeling in my mouth for the next hour. (Thanks, Mr. Manvite!).
LOVED IT, we'll be back.
Just be careful ordering, and if you don't order right the first time, try again!
(oh, and it's a good thing I threw on something other than mom clothes, because somehow all of CH's company was there - first one of his employees and then his boss!)
