Last weekend the wife and I dropped the boys off at the movie theater so we took the opportunity to put some Food On My Face! Before I talk about our dinner and dessert, let's talk a little bit about Big Bowl, the company. Big Bowl is part of the family of restaurants known as Lettuce Entertain You. They own over 70 restaurants across the nation.  Even though they are large and have a national presence, they operate each restaurant with a focus on local products when possible. The bigger your restaurant family becomes the harder it is to accomplish this.  For more information about this check out this link.

PANANG CURRY CHICKEN $12.95

all natural chicken in peanut-coconut curry sauce, fresnos, snow peas

 My apologies to the chef! We dug into this food before I was able to capture a nice photo first! But it was that good. Nice balance of peanut and coconut... and perhaps slightly more weighted on the coconut which is just the way I like these kinds of curry. On a scale of 1 to 10 it was 5 on the 'heat scale'. 

Drinks? If you are trying to save a buck stop by the Big Bowl on one of their 'half price bottle of wine' nights. We shared a chilled bottle of Yellow+Blue Sauvignon Blanc and it was very nice, especially considering it was a warm summer evening on the patio. By the way it wasn't a bottle, Y+B wines come in environmentally friendly packaging!

Ok now dessert...

Lemon Pudding Cake

Ok this was incredible. The lemon pudding sank nicely into the cake. Just enough tart taste in the lemon. The berries were local and the blackberry gelato comes from Sonny's located right here in Minneapolis! It was a perfect ending to a great meal. If the food wasn't great, check out this price! Just $4.95

No need to use a napkin this time, gotta keep that Food On My Face!
