On Monday (6/20), Cara and I went to Nighttown, a local and really, really nice restaurant not far from our house. Nighttown is a jazz club in Cleveland and hosts people from our high school's Jazz Ensemble (which Cara and my brother were both in!) to Wynton Marsalis -- so its pretty well known in the culinary and jazz world.
Anyway! I got the roasted duck breast salad: spring greens and local arugula, balsamic roasted shallots, walnuts, goat cheese (my cheese of choice), fresh strawberries, and blush vinaigrette. It was the best salad I have ever had. I have always been a huge fan of strawberries and of goat cheese in salads. The duck was a nice touch; the last time I had duck was in China but this was almost equally as great.
Cara (being Cara) got Mac and Cheese: aged English cheddar and Fruyere tossed with penne pasta, Morel Mushroom dust (Cara had it sans mushroom) and heirloom tomatoes. There were some fried/crunchy onion bits on top, which added a nice crunch to the dish. The only other Mac and Cheese I have had to rival Nighttown was in Paris so hella props, Cleveland.
