The Vig
No, I'm not in too deep with local mobsters...
however, i'm in LOVE with The Vig on 40th Street
just south of Indian School. If you know the
area, there used to be a scary/crappy Taco Bell
on that spot. Thank the universe that it's been
razed and The Vig has popped up in its place. We
stopped in and picked up a menu yesterday and
loved what we saw. We decided on a late lunch
today and made our first visit and we're more
than pleased. First of all, the bloody mary I had
was excellent... why have i not discovered the
joy of the pickled green bean for this beverage
previously? Yum. We ordered the Halibut Ceviche
for a starter. (we're always looking for a
ceviche that is palatable outside of the
tropics.) Delish. For a girl who's tastebuds are
substandard these days, this was pretty darn
swell. We decided on luncheon fare with the Hot
Chick Sandwich and the Big Azz Burger...both were
excellent not to mention the seasoned shoe string
fries...mmm... Both were huge, btw, so I have
lunch tomorrow. Inside and outside are groovy and
comfortable. This place is well designed and
doesn't look like the next trendy spot (but I
could see how it could easily slide into that
role). Outside has a great patio with a variety
of seating and for an added kick, a sunken bocce
ball court perpetually green and smooth with it's
turf. Nice, I'll have to dig out my set and learn
to play. I think I've found a new favorite
neighborhood hang out. I'll join you for a drink
there anytime.
