We went to a great little restaurant last night called Rhythm Cafe. It's in West Palm Beach and used to be a drug store way back when. The decor is very kitschy and fun. And they never fail to serve a great meal and last night was no exception. You can go to restaruants that are good but where can you go to find not only good food, interesting ambiance and people plus menu items that you just don't normally see. Sort of like comfort food but with the volume turned up, as Ina Garten would say.
I went for one of the specials. It was excellent - a beef burgundy with shitake mushrooms and crispy crumbled bacon in a demi-glace over fettucine and topped with bits of crumbled gorgonzola. It was incredible. They have wonderful desserts and I generally get one of their homemade ice creams or their coconut quiche but last night, I felt like a kid so I went for their homemade chocolate chip cookies. They bake these cookies daily using vanilla that they also make. They often walk through the restaurant with the cookie sheet straight out of the oven, so everyone can see, and smell the aroma of freshly baked cookies. Cookies and a glass of ice cold milk for dessert. You can have your fancy, schmancy desserts all stacked on a plate surrounded by a raspberry coulis, I'll take this kind of dessert any day!
