A Post for Miss Ash

I think it’s been a while since I posted about eating out. Probably because there was a while in which I didn’t eat out much. But in the past few days, I’ve ate out a lot. So, here’s a rundown.

Saturday night, dinner at Barootes. This place had ostrich on the menu, but not just any ostrich, Ontario ostrich. Janet seeing that on the menu pondered aloud “There’s ostrichs in Ontario?” My obvious response “No, they’re from South Africa, I think, so I guess the chef just strolls down to the zoo and picks a couple off.” I didn’t have the ostrich, but I’m very curious now. I think I should go back there and try the ostrich.

Monday night, dinner at Jack Astors. Me and Bob went to the Raptors game and as our tradition before games, eating at Jack Astors. I got there well before Bob and had some time to kill, so while waiting for him, I ordered an appetizer and ate it. Bob didn’t even notice I had eaten when he got there.

Monday night, dinner at Baton Rouge. It was my mother’s birthday, so me and my brother took her out for dinner. All I had to eat that day was a bagel at around 10:00AM, so I was starving. I ate the garlic toast bread, then had some of those tortilla-like chips, then I cleaned the plate my entree was served on. That Baton Rouge chicken tenders platter with the garlic mashed potatoes is sooooo goooooood. MMMMM!

    Haha yeah it has been a while, though it’s good to see you’ve ventured away from your regular pizza dinner :P

    Maybe I’m just suffering from sleep deprivation, but when I read the title and the first sentence my brain soared into places it shouldn’t.

    That’s sweet of you to write a post for Miss Ash.

    I think there was a message in there for me, a message that was suppose to get a certain response from me… but I am not biting. I am not playing your games.

    Miss Ash - I haven’t had pizza in a while. But now I’m really jonesing for it. Thank you very much.

    wiwille - I know, I know.

    bob - nope, no message for you. Go back to eating your labelless mystery food.

  5. Sparkling Red Says:

    You definitely need to try the ostrich.

  6. Rawbean Says:

    Mmmm its hard to read a blog about food when you’re hungry for lunch.

    Yes sweet to write a post for Miss Ash (and no one else).

  7. Bob at York Says:

    I am not convinced the message was just for her because of that, I know what I am blogging about tomorrow.

    I just got done with a “chicken post”. No more Poultry for Heff for awhile.

    Um… I’m starving now. Thank you.

    How is this for Miss Ash? Is she a food voyeur?

  13. whatigotsofar Says:

    Miss Ash always seems to be interested in hearing about me eating out. Not quite sure why? I think it has to do with her vegetarianism and she has to eat vicariously through me. I am not a vegetarian anymore. I enjoy feasting on flesh.

    Your music thing slowed me down this morning but I have finally posted my blog:

    Baton Rouge is soooo good! I haven’t been there in the longest time. As for the other two places, never seen them here in Ottawa. You should have come here for a Sens game and dinner! No more Sens games till next season now… sigh.

  16. whatigotsofar Says:

    Grace - No Jack Astors in Ottawa??? But that place is my pre-game meal tradition. If there’s no Jack Astors near the Corel Centre (or whatever that place is called now), how can I go to a game?

  17. Grace Says:

    There’s a Baton Rouge on the very same street as the Scotiabank Place. I’ve been there a few times before games. Trust me, you’ll be smiling all night long. Unless the Sens lose, of course… but what are the chances of that happening? :D

  18. whatigotsofar Says:

    Scotiabank place, thank you! That one had been bugging me all day.
