cblj_backupTonight I went to the Meatloaf Bakery.
Oh yes, you read that right: Meatloaf. Bakery.
I've been meaning to try it for a while but always assumed it was a bit difficult to get to. Turns out it's right on a bus route, just about central between work and home. Door to door service, almost. Anyway, I wanted to get a gift certificate for R for his birthday; he loves Meatloaf Bakery, and he's a big fan of "meat" as a gift. So for him, I braved the 151 bus, which I normally hate and fear. Apparently the trick to not ending up in backstreet hell on the 151 is to get off before it leaves the park.
Anyway, I picked up his gift and got a "meatloaf cupcake" for myself -- "bunless burger" meatloaf, topped with cheesy mashed potatoes. It is 100% delicious, really rich and flavourful, not too heavy. I thought it would be greasy, because when I heated it (they package them chilled) some grease bled out the bottom. It's not, though -- I mean, it is a little, but just enough to make it moist. For nine bucks, it's a pretty full meal, and way better than the nine dollar mac and cheese from the food truck. NOVELTY DINING: I'M ABOUT IT.
It's in a neat little area of Clark Street, lots of hipster cafes and shops, and best of all about a block south there is, drumroll please, a Five Guys Burgers.
I love Five Guys. They're not everyone's taste but they make exactly the kind of burger I like and their fries are awesome. And I've never lived within easy reach of one before, so they've always been a special treat. Now, I can get on a bus a block from work, and twenty minutes later be in a booth eating Five Guys fries.
I declare this more than an ADVENTUR. Tonight was, quite simply, A TRIUMPH.
