El Potrillo Cafe

Posted in Eating, thumba on August 28th, 2010 by admin – Be the first to comment

still on the search for good food in the area between my work and Joe’s, we decided to try El Potrillo Cafe. It’s a really small place, that shares a parking lot with a car wash. But they make a great milanesa torta and the people there are really nice. Feels like a real homemade foods restaurant…CASH ONLY.

We’ve found the wonder of grinding our own meat for burgers. bacon burgers with homemade onion rings…and homemade ranch dip. super americana and really, just good

Rabbit with rabbit stew

Posted in Eating, thumba on August 28th, 2010 by admin – Be the first to comment

a while back we got a frozen rabbit. i had never had rabbit so Joe thought he’d make it for me sometime..a few months later we finally did it.

so we cut the guy down, and cooked the little bugger up…then made some stew with some of the meat and rabbit belly (think about it kinda like bunny bacon)

 

the end result – well, it was good. not great. and i hate to do it, but kinda like chicken.  nothing super special about the fact that it was a bunny, and a lot more effort than a chicken would have been.  I think i’m gonna have to try it again.
