On Trying to Live in the (Recent) Past - Wednesday 6/6/2007


Still looking for that French cafe experience, I guess. Took myself out for a solo lunch at Arde's Bistro, which has been my favorite place in Toluca Lake for a few years now. I don't quite get why my co-workers don't share my enthusiasm. The small restaurant is always busy, the food is very delicious, and even healthy.

I am pretty much stuck on the garlicky chicken kabob plate, which comes with bulgar pilaf (way better than the rice, to my tastes), a dollop of hummos, a little bit of salad, plenty of chicken, and a basket of lavosh and pita bread. They always bring a half piece of baklava with the bill.

I ordered an espresso, just to get that cafe lunch feeling. Nice with the baklava.
