Call it wierd or whatever you want, but I am a firm believer in accompaniments; primarily cole slaw and I offer up places that fill my bill and rate highly.
Today, I went to see my friend Anoosh at Brownings for lunch. I enjoy going to someone elses house and dining on my days off. So we ordered the special, a very well made club on wheat toast and the fried green tomato foccacia-an additional treat being the foccacia was made on site. Being a cole slaw seeker, I waited for the delivery of the slaw. It came out beautifully creamy, full of gorgeous red cabbage, apple slices and golden raisins. We ate it and enjoyed the sun, wind and attention by the staff. Every mouth full was a treat. Go there and enjoy.
My other current favorite slaw is at North End Cafe. I have enjoyed virtually everything they produce. The changed menu with "everything" on it certainly will be a treat for those who must have "everything" on a menu.
Their slaw attains what I call classic perfection. All the right colors, textures and the amount of creaminess a classic slaw should have.
That's all I have for tonight.
