Inspiration or Jumping the Shark? Hm, I'll let you be the judge.
You know the expression "Jump the Shark?" In case you don't, it's a Hollywood euphemism for when you just go TO FAR with a story line. It originated when Fonzi and the HAPPY DAYS crew did a few episodes toward the end of the run in Hawaii. Fonzi was waterskiing in the ocean and, well, he jumped a shark. Suffice it to say, it was not super well received and got lots and lots of razzies from critics and fans alike.
So it could possibly be on today's menu at MetroFresh Uptown, not one, but two menu items that are either incredibly inspired or possibly I've jumped the shark.
First is the kale salad tossed together with Sesame Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli, Roasted Sliced Almonds and Clementine Oranges with a Lemon Tamari Sesame Dressing. I think it's really good.
Then in the sandwich department.... I have a Korean Turkey Wrap with Pickled Watermelon Radish and Red Onion Napa Slaw, Havarti Cheese , Avocado, and Gochujang Mayo. I think I may be on to something because the slaw has a pretty authentic Kimche thing going on without being full on Kimche. And the Gochujang mayo is SOO good. We'll see if the whole combo is popular with the office crowd!
Anyway - we're open today until 7:30 for lunch and happy hour with new Daddy Sh'muel, who is returning for the first time after the birth of his daughter. Come say hi and pat him on the back!
Have a great Thursday.
