Today turned out to be delightfully sunny. Brandon and I decided to check out Brooklyn Flea, which has been on our list for awhile.
After walking around for a bit we stopped by the Red Hook Lobster Pound food tent to snack on a super yummy Lobster Roll. The above picture provides a small glimpse of the pure deliciousness. It was beyond meaty, light and refreshing. So worth the $13!
We finished up at the flea and walked around Dumbo. Man have things changed, we stumbled upon a BoConcept and a West Elm while new and trendy seemed a tad out of place. We completed our outing with a late brunch at Superfine and caught some live bluegrass. Now unfortunately I did not capture the masterpiece that was my fish taco. I can NOT stress enough that this was by far the BEST Fish Taco I have EVER had! So light and fresh I easily could have had a few more. Lightly grilled Mahi Mahi, a slight spicy salsa with freshly squeezed lime. (Recapping this dish is literally making my mouth water)

I am referencing how desserts, sandwiches, dishes etc are named. I never really thought about it much until yesterday. Brandon is participating in Razorfish's version of "Top Chef". He asked if he could include a sandwich that I have made in the past that is AMAZING! (It really is.) Marinated portabella mushrooms, black bean chickpea garlic spread, lettuce and a beefy tomato on toasted whole wheat bread. Part of the competition is to list the ingredients and while listing your ingredients of course you will need a name for such listed masterpiece. That leads me to now, not having a name for my most tasty sandwich.
- Do I just list out the ingredients in the name?
- How about coming up with a fancy name having nothing to do with the ingredients at all?
Outside this Razorfish competition, take menu items listed at your favorite restaurants. Is one more inclined to read "Mushroom, Black Bean Sandwich" and think that's nice, NEXT. Or stop to read "Jenny's spotted- rainbow unicorn sandwich", regardless if they choose such item they will surely read the ingredients. I know I would.
I'm on the fence with this one... but I think ordering "Jenny's spotted- rainbow unicorn sandwich" is a lot more fun to say.
UPDATE: Sandwich has officially been named: Marvelous Meatless Medley
