Three Latest and Best

While I've not been in the mood to eat, it seems like nearly all I've done lately! That first run of the spring was *brutal.* So, while I figure out how I'm going to go fit in a bathing suit this summer, here are my three latest and best.

The Elements of Lunch: If you haven't popped in, you should try Friday lunch at Elements. While it's become a near-weekly ritual for a few of us, there always seems to be something new to try. My current fave? The steak sliders with blue cheese brimming with melty steak-juice on an excellent French bread bun.

Simple, Comfort Food: Bar. Meridian. Cesar Salad. Bowl of Smoked Corn Soup. That is all.

Meatloaf at Creation Cafe: While I still find some dishes (and often the service) hit or miss at this popular downtown eatery, I can't fault them for the pulled pork nachos. Or, for the recent meatloaf special. The crust was the best part - just as it should be.
