Chickpeas and salad, hot sauce and dill sauce. $9

This was decent. The lamb was kinda dry and burnt on many of the edges, but I liked the overall flavor of everything.

Blood orange & Island fusion – Rita’s Italian Ice
2-flavor cup.
Rita’s Italian Ice, Washington DC
Hmm, this was nice and fun but also very sugary. I liked the idea, but it wasn’t my favorite because I just felt like I overdosed on sweetness. Maybe it was just the flavors I chose. Hmm…

This was a nice and refreshing poolside salad. The combination of flavors was on point and the compressed melons had a fun texture. The prosciutto tasted great with the peppery arugula.

Mmm, this was SO delicious! Each of the meats were so distinct and flavorful. It was a toss up on which was my favorite. The tigelle bread was also a nice change from your typical toasted baguette. NOMS!
