DW BISTRO Lunch – Learning to Overcome a Loathing

[imagebrowser id=1051]

ELV hates turkey burgers. He hates the idea of turkey burgers. He hates anything that pretends to be something it’s not (tofu lasagna, vegetarian meatloaf, soy milkshakes, Charlie Sheen as an interesting human being…you get the picture).

So, he was a bit nonplussed by the alacrity with which he polished off his DW Bistro turkey burger yesterday. Maybe it was its juiciness (a rarity), or the slathering of jerk spice (bringing serious heat) or the mango pear apple chutney…whatever…it was the tastiest non-burger burger we’ve ever had.

Our companion’s slow-cooked, New Mexican red chile pork disappeared awfully quickly too, and neither dish needed even a drop from the Pickapeppa hot sauces that decorate every table.

We were also impressed with how busy DWB was. Populated with ladies who lunch, and quite a few professionals…way out in the Southwest part of town. Earlier in the week we found the same thing at its neighbor, Khoury’s, giving us hope for the proliferation of good taste in this part of town.

Unfortunately, since both are 15+ miles from our humble abode, we can’t just drop by for a tasty bite…but we wish we could.

Our lunch for two came to $30 including tip.

In RAKU News – So Charming We Couldn’t Resist

Dear John,

First I would like to send my prayers to the earthquake victims in Japan. I hope that Japan will recover and I hope your families are safe also.
It is already March and the weather is getting warmer. Here at Raku we have a Kaiseki style course. One is for ten dishes and the other is fifteen. The menu changes with the season. I use 60 and more different ingredients for these dishes. I also prepare the dishes from four to three days before your reservation. Please give us a call if you are interest in a reservation. Please make sure you have plenty of time because serving this style takes around three hours.
Thank you again.
I hope to see you soon,
Owner Chef Mitsuo Endo

Sake Corner by Sake Sommeliar Risa

しみずの舞　純米大吟醸

I would like to introduce Shimizu no Mai *Pure Dusk* Junmai Daiginjo which we just added on the list recently. This sake is from Akita which is located in Tohoku region (Nothern Mainland). This is very fragrant and elegant sake. As soon as you pour this sake in the glass, fresh juicy fruits aromas come out from the glass such as watery pear and melon with hint of mineral. It is dry on the palate with nice acidity and it compliments well with light dishes like sashimi and grilled white fish. We get fresh unique fish air shipped from Japan so please check them out. We have this sake 300ml for $33.

See you soon at Raku.
