Fido

I <3 Fido.

Fido is my home away from home.  Any given day you can find me here, on my mac, sipping some chai.  It’s usually a high energy scene, with loud chatter and music playing.  But somehow, when I sit down with my hot beverage and open my computer, I’m in my own little Fido haven.

But this is a food blog, not an awesome coffee/chocolate/tea/cider blog, and you will surely be missing out if you don’t eat some food while you’re here.

My absolute favorite (for the time being) is the Local Burger.  It’s a perfect combo of lamb and beef made with feta and, on a perfect bun with crunchy onions on top.  I get it with avocado and a side of sweet potato fries.  I would eat this every day if I could.  

For a healthier option, I usually opt for the Mediterranean salad-perfect greens and a tangy dressing with hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes and feta.  Mmmmmm I’m making myself hungry.

Every time a waiter walks by with a plate of food, I’m pulled out of my bubble, and I find my eyes glued to the plate of someone else’s order.  Salmon, fish tacos, a tower of eggplant, a steak sandwich.  The plates are beautiful, the food is gourmet, the prices are great, the staff is lovely.  I literally have to stop myself from eating here every day.

Oh, and I saw Taylor Swift here.  Woot.
