After shooting at an undisclosed New York location for an undisclosed non-New York brand, the Art and Image Director chose the Butcher's Daughter for a celebration meal. Let's just say the location rhymes with "Batz"......... hehehehehe. I can't say anymore or Shiva would have my head on a platter.
On the walk over, all 5 of us were so hangry that we weren't really talking much, just one of those awkward walks where everyone is in a daze and staying quiet to kind of keep the peace. We pulled up to the Butcher's Daughter around noon, hungrier than a 2008 Kobe Bryant post Celtics loss. We left our all in "Batz."
Upon arrival, we were met with a beautiful exterior and outdoor patio engulfed by yellow and white striped umbrellas. The chairs were also the same yellow, and the wooden tables outside weren't from Ikea if you know what I'm saying. This attention to detail continued to the interior. Fairplay, Butcher's Daughter.
We get inside and scan the menu, now hungrier than a 2006 Kobe Bryant. The Art and Image Director and I both get the Healing Harvest Bowl, as we need a good portion size of clean food to refuel. For full transparency, I would have gotten whatever he got to try and build some rapport with him hehe (shy monkey emoji).
When the bowl came, our disappointment was immeasurable for a few reasons:
1) This portion size is TINY. I would have had no issue if it was a $10 bowl, but for $18?!?!?!?! Well I added an impossible patty so it came out to $21, but thank god I did. I blew right through this thing and felt like I had just eaten a pack of almonds and some dried seaweed.
2) This bowl was ALL Quinoa, with a small handful of sweet potatoes and arugula. "They should call this the Quinoa bowl" the Art & Image Director said. "The Quinoa bowl for ants..." I respond with, hoping to get a laugh. It worked. WE UP!
3) The avocado was HARD af, just so uncomfortable to bite through. When the Art and Image Director asked if that was normal, the server said "they are just not ripe." Honestly I never would have mentioned this in a review because I understand some food is just seasonal, BUT he literally had a shirt on that said "Eat All the Avocados." I just thought that was way too ironic to not mention here ahahahahaha.
All in all, I acknowledge that the food quality here is fantastic, but the portion size for the price is criminal.
