Fuel was running on fumes as the gap between our order and the delivery of our chow was long enough to allow everyone at our communal table to wonder if the kitchen crew went on vacation.

When our food did arrive, the eggs were stiff sunny side ups rather than the soft scrambled that I specified. The corrected version was overcooked to my taste served with unbuttered toast (and no butter to be found) and a passable fruit cup in an "All American" ($8.00):

The ham and cheese omelet ($9.00):

... was a better bet but this chopped lunch meat mit was not enough to convince us to return to this station.

The buckwheat muffin ($2.25):

... at Bushel and Peck Bakeshop was dotted with tangy Marion berries in a barely sweet, moist grain gob with a squiggle of icing.

Bushel and Peck continues to be a good bet for a breakfast break stop.

Plump shrimp dumplings ($7.50):

... started our Shandong:

... dinner along with some crab dumplings ($8.00):

... that were a little too saline for our tastes.

Broccoli and white prawns ($12.00):

... was a solid seafood 'semblage while Judy's noodles ($10.00):

... was a nest of housemade starch strings woven with spinach and shitakes which was a little oilier than we like, but still slurpable.

This Northern Chinese nosh was good grub but may not make it to our rotation.

The pork skirt steak ($14.00 for half order):

... at Tasty n Alder:

... was required ordering. These strips of sensational, sumptuous swine were pen-ultimate porcine. We hemmed in this skirt steak with starters of anchovies and chips ($9.00):

... that were a di-minnow-utive detour of nettable nosh.

Steak tartare ($13.00):

... was a minced mound of muscle yolked with the usual suspects but served with potato chips as a 'ternative to toasted 'tons.

Ribeye ($25.00):

... rounded out our proteiny prandial at this new Alder steaks clan that is mobilizing the masses to their downtown digs.

We dragged ourselves to Cultured Caveman:

... for some bone broth ($4.00):

... that had a richness cut by a vinegar bite.

Mini meatloaves ($5.00):

... with liver and heart ground into the goods were topped with bacon in offal ovals while chicken tenders ($5.00):

... were dusted with coconut and fried in beef tallow.

Tallow played a role in frying thin frites ($4.00):

... of potatoes and yam. These strings of starch were dusted with salt and rosemary in a tantalizing tater tangle.

Chili ($5.00):

... with tomatoes and peppers capped off our cave cuisine. Our lithic lunch was a fun frolic in foods for paleo palates in this dietary detour.

Pickled elk tongue ($11.00):

... budded up in a salad with tart bush berries in a mustard-seeded, wag-worthy, articulation of 'licious lick at the recently opened The Kingdom of Roosevelt.
