Home Street Home Cafe on Ohio in St. Paul...
Shoreview...when oh when
will we have some locally sourced food choices? .....another night of
being beckoned by places outside the suburban borders.
So off to St. Paul for a great cold brew and a meal of locally sourced morsels of goodness.
Home Street Home Cafe's menu is
built from the food truck menu that made Destiny's truck so popular.
Grinding her own locally sourced beef, using great cheese, making
vinaigrettes and sauces to create wonderful casual
food....just the ticket after a long day of working today.
John opted for a hard cider and I, of course, wanted a delish cold brew....it easily met my expectations!
Now, the menu....we're working
our way through the choices. Tonight it's time to try one of those
gorgeous-looking quesadillas that I've admired in the past. BBQ
chicken...yup, sounds great. John was debating the
chicken gyro or the house-made hummus pita. He decided the vegetarian
option was the way to go tonight.
We were a little concerned that
there was a big party at the next table plus a guy waiting for takeout
and a couple of other smaller parties ahead of us. But the wait for our
dinner was really pretty short....a plate
with the hummus pita and greens plus a large silver tray with the
quesadilla and sauce appeared through the kitchen door within minutes.
The greens were perfectly
dressed with Destiny's
The BBQ chicken quesadilla satisfies (I couldn't possibly eat a whole
one). The locally sourced chicken makes all the difference...you can
taste it. Great, but not overpowering BBQ sauce on wonderful chicken
and great tasting cheese....the complete package.
Top this all off with
conversation, and it's a perfect casual dinner. Chatted with Judy
(Destiny's mom) about the foibles of the restaurant biz. Had
hysterical conversations with everyone....great dinner topped off
with laughter and sharing. That's what a great food venue is all
about.
