JLO and I love food. JLO loves to cook food; I love to eat food. I love to go out to eat; JLO likes to experiment at home. To accommodate both of our desires we compromise: one night per month out to eat at a place we've never been before and the rest of the month cooking at home. We waited until I was gluten-free and pregnant to start this new adventure, but it just adds to the challenge: can we find a restaurant where we like the food as much as, if not better, than JLO's cooking?
Tonight we went to 112 Eatery in downtown Minneapolis. It gets a lot of rave reviews from the local foodies and from acquaintances of ours, so we thought we'd give it a try. It didn't disappoint. They were super gluten-free friendly and I loved that they accept reservations. Plus the table had a sweet view of their sign and downtown. For eats, we had the sea scallops appetizer, zucchini w/chorizo as a side, the 112 burger for JLO and the halibut for me. Our favorite was the zucchini w/chorizo. Yum! Would we go back? Yes. Do we recommend to friends/family? Yes.
Oh, one more thing. Not sure what it says about us, but we skipped the dessert menu and passed through the DQ drive through on the way home. That also was delicious. And yes, we've been there before.
ooh, we'll have to give it a try! Glad it was good!
