It's been almost a year now since my last visit to Baba's kitchen. Last Thanksgiving, to be precise. And unfortunately, due to the craziness and high costs involved traveling there, it may not happen this year. Man. Ah, but there are alternatives: the most excellent Krolewskie Jadlo (King's Feast) up in Greenpoint. Went there this past Friday for a special treat.
Started the experience off with plums wrapped in bacon and salmon topped potato pancakes. Bread was also served with a bacon spread... yes, bacon spread instead of butter. And for $13.50, they have a dinner special which consists of a full entree with sides, a drink, and dessert. Went with the Beef Stragonov with beets, shredded cabbage salad, and mashed potatoes, and the cake-like apple pie for dessert. Needless to say, everything was most excellent, and more than enough food. Ironically, the kitchen staff was ripe with bunch of baba's working in the kitchen - didn't see a single male worker in the place. They know their stuff!
Yes, it was great. Would be happy to go back there, though, just like Baba's kitchen, I should probably take some time off before next time. You know, just to let my belly shrink back down a bit.
