STK, y'all. This is based upon 3 missions, spanning the culinary battlefield during all hours of both dawn and dusk. Tirelessly, these ninja cooks work all day, their feudal lord would do well to procure coffers for their well fought battles, beyond the normal recompense. Names are changed to protect anonymity of my ninja tribesfolk. But they dont say much when they are eating.
Mission 1, Afternoon Delight
3PM on a Tuesday (CHILL)
3 eggs +4 bacons+sourdough+ +hash browns +coffee , 2 scoops huckleberry
Wars are lost due to famine so my war party was ushered to our camp with no time to spare. Early brinner was on my mind, despite the war parties' verbal protests. They called for all of the meats, an assortment of cheeses, potatoes, salads the whole lot. Regardless, our mission was to assassinate all of our plates, so leftovers would neither be tolerated nor taken. 1st battle. I ordered coffee. Sadly, it was burnt. Which, was disappointing, for I work at 6am daily. Also my hash browns were a bit too browned. Everything came out fine after that, though. Timely, proper temperature, plated cleanly and tasting lovely, all according to the squad. Everything required a little seasoning, and this is to be fully expected in any diner. /
Ninja Thoughts:
Burnt coffee is easily remedied by the huckleberry ice cream.
Overcooked hash browns just needed ketchup, hot sauce and egg yellows to make it all good.
Maybe I should rethink brinner at 3pm?
Mission 2, Good Morning Starshine
7PM on a Friday (LOUNGIN)
French Dip + Jojo+ Salad Bodhihafza
Assassination of a rival and a corrupt kingdom burecrat went so well, I was able to return home before the Kobe cows came home. Speaking of cows, the French dip didn't disappoint, hooo hoo ho. Flavor of the aus jus and quality of the prime rib shavings was good, but the sando was a little smallish. Jojos and malt vinegar are always an appropriate combo, when balancing a hot sandwich with a cool salad. Salad was fresh although it wasn't properly dressed. And the IPA was a nice finish. Service was on point, quick and attentive. People certainly are chatty here at The Square, but I am not opposed to some dinner, drinks + good conversation. /
Mission 3, Day-O
11 AM on a Sunday (BUSY)
3 eggs+4 bacons +Rye ++Hash browns and Belgian waffle
Short wait, tableX2, hostesses were fast, servers quick, cooks divided and conquered.
Coffee was outstanding, we agreed on that. She (let us call her, Hinata) had the custard french toast and huckleberry mimosa, for she had been here before... and I took my usual, but had a waffle with huckleberry compote. Everything but the bacon was epic. Must have had a new ninja on the front line. For a kitchen general never would serve burnt bacon. 3/4 bacon strips were burnt so much that I had to put compote on them to even consume them! I am from the kitchen battlefield formerly, before becoming an assassin for hire. So I waste only the inedible. But questionable bacon? Toss it in the bin and start again. We both shared the bacons but ugh. So loss of two ninja stars there , one for each ninja pallette, on an otherwise well executed battle plan. Huck's Mimosa was a kind pour, so /
3.3 rounds up to a rough 4, out of 5, ninja stars. A local family favorite, I can see now why.
