NA RESTAURANT WEEK,
UMA DICA GASTRONÓMICA
DE DAVID BYRNE




"While C and I were wandering around Barrio Alto in Lisboa a few days after the amazing meal in Modena, we stopped to eat at a nondescript lunch counter filled with locals on their lunch break. One outside window looked on to a flat grill, typical of any diner — though on this one, fish were grilling. By the cash register, under the counter where the donuts might be in a NY diner, there was an array of fresh merluza, dorada and some of the famous Portuguese sardines. The special of the day was octopus stew, so we ordered that along with a couple of draft beers, and a fish. (These came with simple salads.) Here’s the point: the fish, simply grilled and served with olive oil and lemon, was one of the best I’d tasted in a while. The stews weren’t bad either. The beer was cold and delicious. I’d rate the place, on the strength of the fish alone, as one of the best I’ve eaten at — but of course the S.Pellegrino judges won’t give it a glance". (post integral aqui)

O peixe é bom é.
E curiosamente vi o Byrne com a C. no jardim do P. Real, presumo que nesse dia.

É Hora de agradecer à Nossa Senhora ASAE que muito contribuiu para a (quase)inexistência do centímetro de gordura típico nos interruptores de casa-de-banho dos restaurantes "por aqui e por ali". Sem Ela e Seus Julgamentos e Proibições Divinas, poderíamos ter sido presenteados com um outro tipo de comentário, não tenho dúvidas.

Nam!! Sem McDonald's é melhor o jejum que tascas lisboetas. Muito pitoresco, muito pitoresco, mas não anima ninguém. (Talvez anime músicos em saída do mundo).

Nada contra o McDonalds's. Nada contra as tascas. Nada contra a Tour d'Argent. Paparoca é paparoca.
