It's Not That We Don't Like Burgers...
Never mind the t-shirt hanging behind the register with the image of a burger with a slash through it. That's just us being cheeky. You know how we roll at the Brick Oven Bistro.
Truth is, we like a good burger now and then. What red blooded American carnivore doesn't? So when people ask us the question, "if you guys are all about 'comfort food', why don't you serve hamburgers?", we just smile indulgently, point them to the first two words in our tag line ("New Adventures" -- but you knew that)...then we call security and have them ejected (just kidding).
The point is that while a great hamburger fits the "comfort food" bill, you could hardly call it a "new adventure". So why should we put something on our menu that you can get just about anywhere when there are some many more interesting things we can offer you?
Let's take today's special for example: our Beef Peppers & Onions Sandwich. Here's how we do it. We start with thin, hand-carved slices of roast beef (see last week's blog, "Cuts Like a Knife"), pile it on fresh-baked Italian or Sunflower Wheat bread slathered with horseradish mayo, add fresh lettuce, tomato, and cucumber, then top the glorious mess with sauteed onions and red peppers. As you can see from the photo below, we're still trying to figure out how to get the top half of the sandwich to actually close, but we're hoping you'll forgive this slight imperfection. If you want to kick it old school (aka, picnic style), we add some coleslaw and Rum Pot Beans on the side.
Now, look us in the eyes and tell us honestly that you'd rather have a cheeseburger. We didn't think so.
