{whatever wednesday – an unofficial review : town.}

19 Feb

so, i randomly and spontaneously my have potentially found my new favourite restaurant. the charming place is called town. and the period is part of the title, so don’t forget it. πŸ˜‰ if the rumour that their menu changes up frequently is in fact accurate, i may make it official. Β in the meantime, here is what i had for lunch the other day with a friend.

town.-1

maple-braised pork belly with caramelized onions, pear, and bacon bits on a bed of brussel sprout leaves… and my favourite thing we ordered — it was just heavenly!

town.-2

rabbit tacos with some kind of amazing salsa and a creamy mild cheese… shredded carrots, pepitas, scallions, and some other deliciousness. Β and hey – don’t judge me.

town.-3

shrimp po’ boy… done a little differently, but still good. shrimp was super tasty as well as the homemade sweet potato chips, and the perfectly dill/sweet combo pickles were also excellent.

i tell ya one thing – i cannot wait to go back for dinner!!!!!!! πŸ˜€

aaannnnd, i really want to take pictures of/for them! Β

the kishu water filter is just basic active charcoal that’s undergone the carbonization process… making it like a rock.

also, i received an email from a lovely rep at Hilary’s Eat Well a few weeks ago, asking if i would be interested in trying and giving feedback on some of their products.
