Shrimp Tacos
Southwest Spicy Chicken Wrap
dinner (table service) – with weekend brunch starting soon. So let’s settle into a bright green upholstered
booth and get to ordering.
Where to start? For me, virtuously, with a selection of cold-pressed juices. First up was watermelon,
lime and mint (153 calories) – a crisp and light concoction that would make a very refreshing after-
workout drink (there’s also a 24 Hour Fitness in the same center). On to pear, cucumber and ginger
(161 calories) – also delicious and a balance of cool and spicy. I felt myself getting healthier with every
gulp. Finally, I finished up with the carrot, apple and ginger juice – its rich orange color and tangy
apple flavors, the perfect fall sip.
Next up? Possibly my favorite thing I tasted this time – the truffle-infused roasted mushroom and chicken
pizza. OK, it goes a little off the low-cal track with a whopping 1075 calories, but man cannot live on
lettuce and juice alone. This man, at least.
Back to the pizza. Delicious thin, crispy crust, a gorgeous slick of truffle oil, garlic white sauce, spinach,
goat cheese, those roasted mushrooms and sliced chicken breast – it was everything I love in life on a
plate. Cooked in a stone oven for three minutes, the pizza comes to the table piping hot. This one is
worth the indulgence!
