Dining Out

For quite some time Dawn and I have wanted desperately to share our thoughts on things outside of what we happened to have cooked on any given day. One of the many ideas we’ve discussed addressing is sharing our thoughts on various restaurants and eateries we’ve visited. We finally have an opportunity to do just that. A few weeks ago we stopped into a local cooking store to look around. As we were perusing through the knives and cutlery, a young man meandered up to us and asked if we would be interested in testing some food. It had been several hours since we had eaten lunch so we gladly accepted his offer. He then asked us to have a seat and said he’d be out shortly with the food. So Dawn and I waited. I think we both expected the guy to hand us a couple of to-go cups and that would be that, but that was not the case. Our wait lasted long enough that Dawn and I began to wonder if we were going to have to pay for the food we had agreed to. Shortly thereafter the gentlemen returned with a platter full of food. He brought stuffed chicken, mushroom risotto, French onion soup and pumpkin soup. We slowly began working our way through the platter and with every bite became more and more impressed with the quality and flavor of the food, and neither of us like mushrooms. As we finished off the last of the food, the gentleman came back out to chat. He told us that the store was very active, with activities ranging from education, to radio shows, to their deli, and that they were even working towards offering dinners on the weekends. Our conversation was much too short to provide a full explanation of all the activities offered, so in turn I will refer you to their website, www.culinarycompanyonline.com. I encourage anyone in the greater Dayton, OH area who hasn’t stopped in to do so, and for those who are familiar with the Culinary Company maybe it’s a good time to stop back in and see what new adventures they may have lined up for you to partake in.
