Good Company, Good Eats

One of the things I like to do is check out new restaurants. It's not really good for the thighs, but hey... it's a lot of fun.

My husband, The Pilot has a favorite beer. It's called The Arrogant Bastard. Yes, irony comes in liquid form, as well. Anyway, it's brewed by a hip local company called Stone. They have a bunch of Gen X'rs in charge, which is always a good thing. They are good greenies, evidenced by putting some walk to their talk. This year they switched to solar power at the brewery and bio-diesel in their trucks. Their philosophy on food mirrors their overall philosopies. And that is right in line with the kind of company I want to support. So last night, we decided to check out the Bistro and Gardens we've been hearing so much about.

It was FANTASTICO!

The place was packed inside, but also way way outside. They do a special event every Wednesday night: The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Get Out, right? In honor of the weekly showing, they serve Transvestite Meatloaf and Toast. Tempting as that was, I chose the Tandoori Chicken, but only after enjoying Onion Rings the size of bagels and a tasty little salad of Dried Apricots and Prosciutto. I reluctantly shared that with The Pilot who had Mac & Beer Cheese topped with Porter Sausage for dinner. Then it was on to dessert. It was a tough choice, but I finally went with the Arrogant Bastard Chocolate Cake.

Arrogant Bastard meets Chocolate Cake... kinda describes us as a couple, doesn't it?

We took the cake and beer out to the garden where a lovely floating fire pit was blazing. The rock from which the fire was emanating was surrounded by lilies and off to the side, a small waterfall made familiar trickling sounds just as sweet as the cake. It was a great way to end a really cool evening with my arrogant bastard... er, I mean... husband.

I listed the rest of their desserts. Some are kinda crazy, but if you were at a cool new restaurant where people with lawnchairs were marching through to get to see Susan lose her cool, wouldn't you want to try something a little more daring too? Which one of Stones strange desserts would you choose? The poll is up... let's hear it! Oh... and...

Let' do the time warp, again!!!

The big brew machines are the perfect backdrop to the bar.


I love creativity and honesty in a menu.


Here's the movie set up. We're going back for their Family Night movie series. No need to explain Transvestites to the kids just yet...


This was the "floating" fire pit where we enjoyed our dessert.


Right then... go vote now...
