For Meatlovers Only!

So lately my blog should be called the "Eating Press" because food has been the focus and with Thanksgiving two days away, be prepared for food, food, and more food.

I need to post a Warning: Anyone that is a vegetarian, DO NOT SCROLL DOWN.

On Saturday night, we all went out to celebrate my friend John's B-day! He had invited everyone out to Fette Sau in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Fette Sau means Fat Pig in German....and if I know anything about German cuisine, it means meat and beer. Fette Sau specializes in smoked meats and specialty beers by the Gallon. So if meat and beer are your thing, this is the place for you. Be prepared to wait in line though. Fette Sau's serves their meats by the pound on large serving platters. So grab a beer, join the line and take in the smokehouse aroma as you wait to order. I definitely liked the Beef Brisket and Berkshire Sausage. Check out our tray before it was devoured...
OOO and the pickles and baked beans are good too!




Here's a shot of the gallon jug of beer Matt got!...of course he shared with everyone.




It took us a white to finish the gallon, I gave up on the beer and needed some caffeine. I ordered what I thought was an espresso, but it was espresso flavored soda- Manhattan's Special. It was interesting, but I don't know if it gave me the energy boost I needed.
It was a fun night full of meat meat, beer, beer, and oh yeah more meat:) Now I am ready for Turkey!

JACK'S

So last night my friend Steph and I went to this new restaurant called Jack's Bistro on 11th st. and University Place. Amazing food!!! Monday Night was All-You-Can-Eat Mussels...which I ended up eating two bowls. The kicker is that when you order a Entree or an item from the Lighter Side Menu---for $5 more you can add a small salad and dessert dollop?!? You may ask...what's a dessert dollop.....well, for those of you who like to steal bites of other people's desserts, you can now order a dollop of dessert for a lesser price. See pics and dessert dollop menu below:)

Pretty:)



My delicious mesclun salad

My 2nd bowl of mussels


The Dessert Dollops Menu...YUM!


Steph had the Mini Double-Chocolate Pot du Creme....so CUTE!



My dollop was a little bigger than the average dollop:) I had the Pop 'em which was to die for, if you have a sweet tooth!

Definitely was a nice end to a Monday:) I have to go back and try their lemon ricotta pancakes during their weekend brunch! Can't wait....
