Cafe Verde (or "We Follow your suggestions")

There are advantages to being a small blog, and there are disadvantages. The disadvantages are we don't have enough of a following to quit work and eat for a living. ... give me a second to drool about that idea and have a mild heart attack.

Ahem

The advantages? When you suggest something (Thanks Karen) we can actually do it!

So, Cafe Verde, over off Desert Inn and McLeod. It's not too far from our current place of inhabiting, and we were recommended there, so, there we go.

First, when heading there at 8:00pm, it's kind of creepy and looks like it's going to be a hole in the wall in the bad sense. It wasn't. The phones were ringing almost off the hook, and the poor guy was having trouble making time to take our order (not a bad sign, actually.)

A look at the menu: It's not exactly what I'm looking for (Super cheap but good Pizza), but it's close. A 10" Pizza for under $7.00? This might be ok. Rabbit got a Phillie cheese steak, sans veggies, because that's how she rolls. Add some mozzarella sticks and everyone is a happy monkey, and it's time to go.

Lets start from scratch: everything is cooked to order, that I'm happy with. My pizza was thick, and honestly damn good and better than a lot of the more expensive places I've been to in my life. If only it were bigger for the same price.
The Cheese Steak? It was pretty awesome-tastic. Great flavor, not too much grease. Again, I just wish it were bigger.

The suck part were the mozzarella sticks. It took us under 10 minutes to get home, and already they were cold and dry inside. The cheese didn't taste like it would have been that good super hot, so those went the way of the dog (she sleeps with Rabbit, so cheese farts don't bother me).

Over all? Not a bad joint. The guy up front has a sense of humor, they had college basketball playing (Go Green), and the main meals were good. I want to go back and try a calzone next.

So, keep your ideas coming, I'm more than happy to eat for you.

And again, Karen? As our first suggest-or.. thanks. You're pretty awesome :-D
