    Barbequed Chicken Quesadilla – Today’s Special at The Boston Deli 

    The Boston Deli has a interesting weekly menu featuring chalkboard specials for each day of the week. You can sign up to get the menu here via email. Each day include a variety of outright delicious and mostly innovative twists on normal dishes. Today you can order the Barbequed Chicken Quesadilla pictured below (got mine to go), sounds pretty normal right? It is far from it. With cilantro, red onion, smoked Gouda (and a few other cheeses), mushroom and a chili buttermilk drizzle this large quesadilla is packed with cheesy, gooey flavors and it will fill you up!

    Today I grabbed an early lunch to go from The Boston Deli and it did not disappoint. Oh yeah and when they say Barbequed at The Boston Deli that really means smoked on a hasty-Bake Charcoal Oven. You can taste the difference… Boston Deli is the only restaurant in town that you will find something like this.

    Quick Lunch at Panera Bread Equaled Tasty New Thai Chicken Salad 

    It was a day full of meetings and there were no signs of a lunch for me…. until I found an opportunity when showing up to a afternoon meeting at Panera Bread a little early.

    Below is the Thai Chopped Chicken Salad (description also below). Overall, I was surprised at how good it was. I love a good peanut dressing, with peanuts and cilantro and this salad creation by Panera was a great mixture of these things. I was really impressed with its freshness and the many layers of flavor that I could distinguish. Normally when I have meetings at Panera, I grab a cup of coffee which is very standard and if you value espresso don’t even think about ordering it here. Nonetheless, it was nice to find that they had something really tasty and refreshing.

    A New Twist on Thai.

    Sometimes really great food can take you on a journey. With just one bite of our new Thai Chopped Chicken Salad, you’re halfway across the world. It’s layered with tender, all-natural chicken, Thai spiced cashews and fire-roasted vegetables, with hints of lime and cilantro. Tossed in our Thai Chili Vinaigrette and finished with a peanut sauce, it’s like heading to Thailand for lunch, without the passport.

      We stopped by around 5:30pm last night (March 9) to finally “sample” the food at The Tree House.
      I personally hate high tables but they did still have a few that were low to the floor for those of us unable to climb (Yea) We ordered the full pound of Baloney plate ($14.00) with two sides and one of the two meat dinners ($16.00) also with two sides. On the two meat dinner we ordered sliced brisket and the wait person suggested that we try the chicken over the pork so we did, but what we got from the kitchen was sliced brisket & chopped beef. First the sides – the Dill potato salad was cold and very tasty. The Baked Beans were not hot, nor were they baked (some were actually pretty raw tasting) abd they did not have any great flavor. The baloney was sliced paper thin and was only “ok” nothing to write home, the brisket was very tasty but the chopped beef didn’t have a lot of smokey flavor. We drank tea and still it cost us about $37.00 plus a tip for our meal. That’s pretty pricey for BBQ that was “average”. One thing I would suggest to the owners is improve the things you haven’t quite got right yet and think about adding a “sampler” platter with a couple of bites of each meat so people can try it all the first time and then they will know what they do & do not like the next trip! I know you can get it right if you just try! :-)
      Sure hope Knotty Pine returns soon, everyone is missing the taste of REAL BBQ around here.
