Fahrenheit 451 - Day 23 food recap

Saturday was an interesting day of eats for BK. After an unsuccessful morning and afternoon of house hunting (Lakewood, meh. done with lakewood), I stopped in the local Panera bread for a much needed pick me up.

To go along with a nice cup of dark roast, I looked for a respectable bakery treat. The only thing that I dubbed a healthy "looking" option was a "low-cal" blueberry scone. It was ok, it went well with the coffee, etc. I was pleased...until I got home and looked up the nutrition information.

Mother effin Panera. That blueberry scone was frickin 400 calories!!! 4-hundee...!!! Seriously??

I've really GOT to do more research from now on. I've got to be stupid with this now....i really thought i was choosing a nice option....HELL, an asiago cheese bagel with lite cream cheese was only 355 or something....UGH.

Anyway, so Saturday was also date night for BK and ae. I kicked it up a notch (thanks emerill) and decided to go to Fahrenheit, about a half block from my apartment. I'd been there only once before, like 3 years ago, and actually had a poor experience. I've vowed to give Rocco Whalen another shot...and it's REALLY too bad that I didn't do it any sooner.

For a starter, we ordered the Potato Nachos, which were prepared with bacon, scallions, chives, and a silky smooth goat cheese reduction. WOW. enough said. WOW.

Now I'm no food critic, so I'll skip the colorful details. However, the Kobe Beef Short Ribs over a bed of teryaki lo-mein noodles was simply AMAZING. I really won't be able to describe this properly....just done really well. The service was excellent, prompt, et al. Kudos to Fahrenheit, I will be going back.

I needed a day to splurge, and I got it. Great food, so eh, whatever.
