Yo-Fe on Friday night 2/19

Poor Yo-Fe was dead when we got there. It wasn't that chilly but I guess people aren't in the mood for frozen anything just yet.

The food decent but overpriced. I had the salad and medium berry trifle parfait and my partner in crime had the turkey on croissant.

The girl had to fumble around a bit to get me a dressing as some weren't labeled so I opted for a mystery dressing just for kicks. It was a balsamic vinaigrette I believe. Good enough. The salad has too much iceberg lettuce for my taste and could have used some of the red peppers and olives they had on the make table. I should have asked. My cohort seemed to like the sandwich well enough. The parfait was perfect with a good balance of berries, yogurt and locally made granola (delightful!) but I wish the yogurt was a bit more tart.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. Clean and mod. A strange selection of items for sale but some winners as well. I was excited to see coconut water and rice dream ice cream available. the make you own soda machines looked promising too. I was unclear on the stationary and what have you but maybe a relative makes it or something, who knows.

Yogolait will still be my go to for fro-yo cravings. I prefer the self serve model and the pay per weight is pretty cool. They have great tart which is the only one I ever touch. That being said Yo-Fe is a fine alternative if you are in the area and if you are in Ft. Worth I suspect you will be since the 7th area is hugely up and coming.

Tim Love's Love Shack 2-17

Here is the semi obligatory food rant. We ate at the love shack this evening and I ordered the today's special salad. I usually have the portabella burger affectionately named the boom boom burger. The burger is amazing. The salad, not so much. It wasn't awful, it was just a bit lackluster. It consisted of noodles, some red sauce with peppers and onions and green olives for color. I'm seriously surprised Tim Love would have stuck his name on this salad which seemed more like hamburger helper sans meat. For those of you not familiar with Tim Love he is a Ft Worth celebrity chef blah blah blah. At any rate the company was good so worth the trouble and the garlic bread was quite tasty indeed. /rant

Valentin'e's Day at AlWadi

We ate at Al-Wadi today for a late lunch. Ok so here is the food review part of this post. If you are in or around the D/FW area then this is relevant. If not, carry on. In short food: awesome, service: abysmal. AlWadi is a Lebanese/Middle Eastern food joint. I'm vegetarian so there is a limited amount of stuff I can eat. This place has alot to offer. I got the veggie sampler and Kendall got the gyro. Great stuff. Problem is the waitress was consistently oblivious to if we needed anything (like to order). It wouldn't have been such a big deal but it was colder than a dead dude's ball bag in there. If it would have been a bit warmer we could have chilled for a minute and enjoyed each others company. Instead we just kind of huddled together and hoped the large couple that came in after us would warm the place up (they didn't). Like I've said before (not here but I have said it) It's amazing what I will endure for delicious food. I could only look forward to going to the mall to Sephora and then browse some Victoria's Secret and jewelry places. No luck, we couldn't find a parking spot so we skipped and it moved on to the comic book store. I was already disgruntled so I needed to hear a bunch of mouth breathers discussing Green Lantern to set me right. I was muttering under my breath well who didn't see THAT one coming. Well we did score the mighty boosh DVDs and that DID set me right.
