I took the advice of a poster here to check out one of the Burgh’s newest touch of awesome, Sunday Night Supper’s With Lauren at Brillobox.

I went at around 8, and heard later that a PG story had generated a line outside the door at 6. For that reason, the chickpea, kale and tomato stew with Orange and ginger over giant garlic sourdough croutons was made with cabbage that that stood in after the Kale ran out. There was also a nice, small organic green salad thrown in with red onions and walnuts.

To break the suspense, I rate the stuff as some of the tastiest things I have had in Pittsburgh. The stew’s dominant flavor was slightly tart/tangy from the tomatoes and a very slight hint of ginger. Each ingredient shined with it’s obvious freshness and the huge sourdough croutons added a great touch with plenty of garlic but not too much.

The meal did however play into the stereo-type of “rabbit food”, as being not quite a full meal. In spite of ample portions, I needed more to feel satisfied. The price for the flavor sensation made it an amazing deal.

The chief came out a few times and I felt morally obligated to check her out, to see a real, starved carrot eating vegan in person. Lets just say that she looks very healthy and leave it at that. I also brought along a Slim Jim, just in case there an antibody reaction consuming all those vitamins at once.
