Clean Out the Refrigerator Friday
These are beyond leftovers, but I hate to just throw things away.
* Barcelonas Tapas celebrated one dubious year open last weekend. I've heard mixed reviews about their lunch buffet. I missed the tent in their parking lot with food and drink on the house, but hey, congratulations to any business that makes it for a year.
* I heard the Slow Food dinner two weeks ago at Apple Family Farms was a hit even with the dicey weather. (Advice to some of you: Next time, take your own wine.) More at Slow Food Indy.
*A few folks are asking me about Dan Noble, former chef at the Omni (as well as Something Different/Snax and Glass Chimney). Noble has landed at IUPUI's University Place Hotel heading up their food, beverage and on-site restaurants, Chancellor's and The Den.

We have been to Barcelona several times over the last year and I always like it. They have a great beer special on Tuesdays ($2 drafts!), I think the service has improved, it's always pretty crowded, and I have many favorites on the menu. I have never been there for lunch, so I can't speak to that, but as far as dinner goes, we've been really happy the times that we've gone.
it's okay with one other person. it's great with groups of 6 and more.
My husband and I had a great time at the Farm to Table dinner at the Apples. We even played human sandbags for a bit as we held down the chef's tent. Regarding the wine- I think it would have seemed rude to BYOB to an event that had a bar selling wine (for fundraising even.) They did run out super-fast, we grabbed a bottle of white during the salad course so we could have some wine with the lamb, but we would have preferred the red. No place on any of the info/lit did we see where you could BYOB, and there was a great menu sent out with wine pairings listed. It sounded as if there would be plenty of variety and volume. The Wine Shop ran short, but it still was a very tasty time in a beautiful setting.
