On the 15th of every month the old lady and I go out for dinner to celebrate our wedding. Starting with this post a review of the dinner will be a monthly feature on this blog.
This last anniversary we decided dig deep in our pockets for money that we don't have to spend, and us that money to purchase dinners for each of us at Lula Cafe in Logan Square chicago.
When we arrived at Lula, it was still before the dinner rush, so it was relatively empty. We were seated at a table in a long row of closely packed tables along the cafes south wall, and were the only people sitting in that section. Our server was very nice, and explained that if we wanted to wait to order our entrees for about a half an hour the dinner specials will be available. Sounded like a good idea, so we ordered a bowl of potato leek soup to share and some drinks. The soup was good, pureed potato soup, nothing exceptional, but certainly tasty with the bread that was provided.
When dinner time arrived, the old lady was quite pleased that we had waited, because it meant that she could order a quail that had been stuffed with short ribs. Damn. I myself had half chicken that is listed on their regular cafe menu.
Both of our meals were exceptional. My chicken was cooked perfectly, layered on a bed of cooked spinach and home style potatoes, slathered in a sauce of pan drippings. Everything was great.
Her quail had a great flavor, the short rib stuffing was awesome and really complemented the gamey taste of the quail.
We will most certainly have dinner at Lula again.
