This will be one of the several posts dedicated to my yearly visit back east.
Thank you for joining me as I reflect back on my trip and food adventures. Enjoy~

During my trip back east, I had the chance to meet up with my friend Yvo of The Feisty Foodie not justonce, but twice! Once again, she chose the location and I'm very glad for her expertise!
I felt so bad though because I was stuck in traffic for over TWO HOURS. I even left an hour early to try and be there on time and was still over an hour late. I'm so sorry!!! >_< (The traffic that I experience nowadays is nothing compared to what I have experienced on the east coast. It's laughable.)
Needless to say, by the time I arrived, everyone was absolutely famished. I took a quick look at the menu and ordered the first thing that caught my eye, with suggestions from Yvo.
I had to take a bad picture of the chimichurri sauce. This was to die for!! I literally slathered this on top of everything and asked for some extra to take home with me. It is that amazing!
I ordered the Skirt Steak medium rare which came out perfectly with all the juicy fatty bits that I love. This was completely incredible on its own, but dipping it in the chimichurri sauce took this to a whole new level! If it wasn't rude, I would have eaten all the gristle and bone marrow right there at the restaurant. Instead, I had enough leftovers to take home for another meal.
Here is a blurry picture of the Russian Potato Salad I chose as my side. While the salad was delicious, the peas and carrots threw me off a little. Regardless, this was also good and there was plenty leftover for me to take home as well.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place whether or not you are in the area. This was well worth the traffic I had to endure driving there and I definitely received my money's worth. Definitely put this on your list of must try places if you haven't visited yet!
