Bodacious Bodega
I just realized I had some blog-ready photos of some of Bodega’s food whose pictures and/or fuller descriptions didn’t make it into my Alive article. Since I hate wasting food, here they are.
Mussels & Fries—a rich and delicious re-working of the Belgian favorite with great fries, good and thick bacon bits plus a mess-tastic and addictive blue cheese sauce
Shrimp & Grits—simple, hearty and stupid cheap (as are many things on this newish menu) at $7
Chicken Wings—love that un-breaded crispy skin, light smears of jerk sauce over a zesty spice-dusting and the big-boy size
Orange Fennel salad: pretty, extremely refreshing and one of the better versions around, chomping on this salad is a great and non-cavity-generating way to end a meal
Chicken Tikka + Lamb Kebobs—both tender, both juicy and both fun
Crawfish Etouffe Napoleon—loved the contrast between the super-crispy, cornmeal-battered okra clumps and the stacked and “etoufeed” (i.e. “sauce-smothered”) rice and bean polenta cakes
Bombay Burger— MMMMMbai!
