Fairytales from a foodie world – the pages turn and it’s a new chapter. I’m living the life of a consultant now, on the road four days a week, eating out every night. Every foodie’s dream come true. So much fodder, so much food, so little stomach to fit it in! I’m fortunate that I’ve been sent to the sleepy resort town of Bend, OR which seems to have more craft breweries and good restaurants than most small cities. So while these may not be as relevant for Seattle readers, if you ever need a recommendation for a restaurant in Bend, there’s definitely no shortage for me to write about. I started this blog as a way to share my love for food, and so it continues, in a far, far away land, called Bend, OR.
Every day we go through rounds of choices for places to go – and have decided that we’re not going to repeat any restaurants for the next 3 months. That’s 3 months x 4 weeks a month x 4 days a week = 48 restaurants! Most people don’t even eat out that often in a year! So today’s choice was Baldy’s BBQ.
BBQ Extravaganza – brisket, ribs, chicken, and pulled pork; the brisket was by far the best part of this sampler tender and smoky but not as fatty as I would have liked, the ribs were also pretty tasty, pulled pork played well with the rest of the BBQ, but the chicken was a little charred for my taste. Besides, BBQ chicken is my least favorite form of BBQ. Overall, a very respectable sampler.
