I have a massive back log of posts, so I will be trying to pump them out as much as I can, whilst doing more cooking and eating out.
Caesar Salad - $15.00
Cos lettuce, bacon, Turkish bread croutons and shaved parmesan tossed with Caesar dressing. Finished with a warm poached egg (optional anchovies).
Caeaser salad was ordered, under the assumtion it would be containing chicken. But no chicken was found in said salad. Only later did we realise that chicken was an extra $5. So we paid $15 for lettuce, bacon and bread. Oh!.. and an egg. Worth the money? I think not.
I can't remember the price of the dish, but it sure did not look worth the money we paid for it. However, it was still pretty damn tasty, and the fact that I was having a lazy Sunday in the sun, not cooking or washing up, made it worth it.
Would I return to The Coffee Club? Most likely not. I'd rather try an unknown franchise store for my next pre/post Costco feed.
And check out all the cooking material I have accumulated over the last few weeks! 2 books bought from Costco. And just looking at this, I realise I haven't included Matt Preston's new book, Cravat-a-licious, and another cookbook mum picked up; not to mention all the Epicure sections from The Age!... light reading weighed in at 6.5kg. Hopefully that won't end up on my butt either, hehe.
Whilst I am talking about books, any food lover should read I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti. I only just started reading it. I am loving it so far, and I just love that she has included all these amazing recipes for the food she talks about. I can't wait to try the muffin recipe, and the pasta sauce.
What the eff?! $15 for chicken caesar salad...with no chicken?
What a joke.
