Falafel Hut: Dine N Dash

Friday, July 28, 2006

Today was the first time I had ever dined and dashed. Well, maybe it was more like dashing and dining. I placed a to go order and when the lady handed me my bag of food I left without paying. The owner found me outside munching on my food and gently reminded me to pay. I was so embarrassed.

I went back outside to finish my shawerma ($6.95)

The spiced beef and lamb were nicely seasoned and the crunch from the cucumbers and onions against the tahini sauce, tomatoes and chopped curly parsley made for a tasty lunch.

I know that curly parsley was pushed out of the culinary ring decades ago and there have been those who have tried to bring it back from it’s exile in the ‘70’s. It’s friend the Iceberg lettuce must have a better publicist to have gotten it’s comeback so much sooner.

I still cringe that I made the owner chase me down for payment, but my embarrassment won’t keep me from returning (and paying) in the future.
