Day Three Hundred and Forty - A bit late....

Sorry folks to be writing a little bit later than expected, I was very under the weather yesterday, now I'm feeling back to normal and am able to play some catch up.

So Friday night, I went for drinks and a few nibbles with a friend. The food menu was a nice mixture of go-to salads, entrees, and share-able snacks. We decided to split their flatbread mozzarella, tomato, and basil pizza which was simple, straightforward, and satisfying. Not too oily, the crust was perfectly crunchy and thin, not too browned on the bottom that you tasted the oven in which it was baked on. Apart from the classic, they had a ricotta and lemon pizza that sounded somewhat fascinating and a prosciutto pizza. I got to thinking however, why not be a bit more experimentative? Go with a different flavor profile than the norm, lets stand out a bit! Granted, it is meant to be bar-ish food so I understand you have to go with the classics, but even a sauteed mixed mushroom pizza with Gruyere and Comte and some rosemary would be a welcome addition. Dressed up somewhat maybe with some truffle oil drizzled over the top? Or how about a brussel sprout leaf and Parmesan flatbread, doesn't that sound delish?

I think flatbread pizza is the perfect simple share-able food and they might benefit from having one or two other inventive choices, but hey I'm not in charge of the menu...Go for inventive and creative for sure! I think people here in New York like options and excitement! Whether its in the form of a menu, a new restaurant, a bar, you name it....check back later for today's post!
