Food Crawl 5

Yep, I'm still behind.  This food crawl is from June 30th!

That morning, Dave and I headed to Davis Square to check out Mr. Crepe.




 We've had some bad luck with so-so crepes at places around Boston before, so we were hoping to find one that we liked.  Inside, this place was pretty cute. It was clean, with artwork on the walls.

The crepe we decided to split was AWESOME.  It was brie, apple, and grape.



It was warm and melty, and the crepe itself tasted very good.  Now, I feel like we can't completely judge Mr. Crepe yet, since we didn't try one with meat in it.  Good meat at a crepe place is sometimes hard to come by, so we'll definitely have to go back and give it another try!

There used to be a picture here of Dave, but he made me take it down :(

 This next place is not new to either of us, Dave's Fresh Pasta (also in Davis).

The only reason why we decided to food crawl it was because I have never had their sandwiches before!   Dave has, but I have only eaten their fresh pastas and sauces. (Actually, that's a lie. I sampled a few paninis and drank wine when Leah had her bachelorette party there....)

Every time I've been there, it's been packed and totally crazy.  Today was no exception, but the service was pretty fast regardless.

 


 
We decided to split a Steak and Blue sandwich.  It's grilled flank steak, blue cheese, caramelized onions, baby arugula, and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.  Dave LOVED it, and I really liked it (my only issue is that some of the steak pieces had more fat on them than I would have wanted.  But I'm weird when it comes to that stuff.  I like very lean meat)

We were pretty stuffed at this point, because we had the crepe and sandwich back to back.
Do I look stuffed?

We went to the Public Gardens to relax and check out some ducks who were chillin' in a row:


We did other stuff that day too, but I won't bore you with the details.

On the way home, we were both craving something sweet, so we checked out the newish yogurt place in Burlington, Yeh.

The idea was great, but neither of us were thrilled.  I think the yogurt (both my vanilla and Dave's mango) were WAY to sweet, and the little bit of chocolate I tried was gross.  It tasted kind of like a Tootsie Roll.  ew.

I have to admit though- the toppings were pretty amazing.
I had coconut, kiwi, and these little Gushers-like balls of fruit juice.

Dave had his mango yogurt and juice balls blended into a smoothie. (that sounds weird...)

The verdict on Yeh? Meh.

(although apparently they now have tart greek frozen yogurt.  That might be worth a try...)
