JOINTS: HG Sply Co.

The parents of the GF are in town this week, and yesterday's lunch didn't sit well with any of us.  I'll review that place sometime in the future, but with everyone not feeling that great at dinnertime, we wanted something that was good but simple fare.  As GF said to me, "Dad just wants some cooked chicken breast or something."  I was in the mood for something a little bit more...GRAND (hint...Hibiscus)... but I figured that eating healthy and not gorging ourselves on food was a good idea too.  And that's when HG Sply Co. popped into my head. 

Thanks CentralTrak for letting me use this photo...I like it!

I went here a few months ago with some friends, and was pleasantly surprised.  While I wasn't a big fan of the clientele or the kinda snooty atmosphere of the place, I'm not going to lie...the food was GOOD.  I'm not a follower of any sort of diet (obviously), but I might be able to get into this paleo thing.  I can eat as much meat as I want?  Sign me up.

We started off with a ginger hummus that came with vegetables, fruit, and BACON!  It was delicious, especially with the bacon and the green apple slices.  Last time I went, I got the Local Stirfry, which is just what it sounds like...stirfry with steak & broccoli with bacon, mushrooms, and some other nom noms.  The GF got that this time, and I kept reaching over and stealing little bites.  GF's step-mom got the Tex Mex, which looked awesome, and her dad got a simple bowl with chicken, quinoa pilaf, and seasonal vegetables.  Even that looked good!

But I wanted steak, and I was not going to be denied.  I got the delmonico, which was coffee crusted, with brussel sprouts and a farm egg.  I couldn't taste the coffee in the steak, but it was a good piece of meat.  The brussel sprouts were amazing, but I could have done without the egg.  I cut it open and let it drip all around everything, and it made it taste weird.  Live and learn, I suppose. 

The meal was exactly what we needed...not too much so that we were stuffed, but I feel very satiated after the meal.  I don't think I'll become a paleo convert, but this place is a good restaurant if you want to try some good healthy food that will fill you up.  This chubby kid was very pleased.

And now, a word from our blogger....

Sorry for not having updated in...let's see...ALMOST 2 YEARS!  THAT'S INSANE!!!  

Anyway, life has kinda gotten in the way of doing stuff like blogging or thinking about blogging...or even remembering that I have a food blog.  But, I'm going to try and be a bit more diligent about posting on here in the future, especially since there's so many news places that have opened up around town.  I'm going to put down a couple of reviews today, and hopefully I'll be back soon to do some more. 

Sincerely,

Chubby Kid
