Chow Down in Tucson

April 21, 2013 — Feast, gourmet, Humane Society, vegan

Recently reminded of the superb quality of the cuisine at Feast, we took the middle of the day on Saturday to enjoy it.  I started with the violet flavor and mysterious look of the Cuyahoga cocktail, which improved as the ice melted. It was a new twist on lunch beverages that grew on me.  In fact, I ordered another one to go with my salad.   Bob wanted to try snails, so he ordered quail and snail, which he said was mostly mushroom in flavor, and he liked it.  My first courses were delightful wild rice savory pancakes with sautéed vegetables, and a fried artichoke heart dish we both loved.  I enjoyed the gnocchi salad, but was too full to finish.  The use of pan fired gnocchi as croutons made this a filling dish I will have again today for lunch. Bob loved the banana and pork combo he ordered.

We passed on dessert in order to attend an event to support the Humane society of Tucson.  A vegan bake sale, complete with adoptable dogs, was the perfect place to buy our take home tofu cheesecake and peanut butter brownies for the late afternoon snacking.  We napped, we slowly chipped away at our dessert until nighttime.  There was only one vegan peanut butter brownie left to split for breakfast.
