(Community Matters) Jill McRae and I decided to meet, hang out and go for crepes. I beat Jill to her house but Stephen Yelenosky (as in State District Court Judge and her husband of soon to be 20 years) was tending the gardens.
They live on one of the most magical pieces of property in the City – overlooks auditorium shores and downtown, exquisite, extensive gardens, terraced on a knoll.
Can’t believe the colors and depth I saw didn’t translate in these pictures – my inexperience with depth and light.
Didn’t realize Flip Happy Crepes was closed on Sundays – too bad, was definitely in the mood. Savory crepes are served with a side salad. Of course yummy dessert crepes as well. Picture on right from my visit on Saturday 🙂
Instead, we went to Taste Select on Ceasar Chavez, overlooking Townlake, and sat outside. Kala Philo & Scott Collier introduced me to the place. Jolynn Free treated me to lunch there a couple of weeks ago. Both previous times I’d been impressed. It was super sitting on the sidewalk, watching the traffic, people and hearing the reggae fest music. However, the food was way off, especially the charcuterie plate which was served with a piece of grease dripping, undercooked bacon as some strange garnish. Nevertheless, I suspect their brilliant chef was missing and someone missfired. Will give it another go. Also, would recommend a Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc on the menu, maybe even a Chateau Carbonnieux 🙂
