In Search of, The Best Croqueta

posted by Ivan

We started this several weeks ago, where we would take a night out of the week to get fat and make rounds at all the local ‘restaurants’ in search of the best croqueta. Different from wine-tasting, we don’t merely take half a “crocket” and mush it around in our mouths - no sir - we eat one or two the way they’re supposed to be eaten, and with saltine crackers to boot! Right now my count is at about five (recent): La Palma, Latin America (red road.), Karla Bakery, La Carreta (bird road.), and Sergio’s; that is in order of preference.

Each breading, meat, size and texture is different (though the saltine crackers usually remain the same, hah) so I encourage you to go out there and find the best croqueta for you! An immediate goal for the MP team is to go on a bike/croquet touring ride, biking and scarfing down warm croquetas at the same time - what could be better!

Tell Us YOUR Favorite…

I’ve had this burger almost half a dozen times and I can say it never loses its edge. I had the pleasure of introducing fellow pirateer to the glorious meat, after much insecent nagging. He was right, it’s an expensive burger far out of our way; but that didn’t stop him from enjoying the flavor once I conned him to go. I am a burger and overall meat purist; that means that I like my meat with bread and usually nothing else on it. I like to be able to feel the meat melt in my mouth as I chomp down and water it for my taste buds. I want to taste each chunk that slowly falls from the tender meat center.

The Triple Prime is cooked well, made from excellent beef, comes on the most unique and flavour-adding buns, is accompanied by perfect fries

Ruby Tuesday prides themselves on “fine American dining.” Translation: food that you get everywhere else but on fancy white square plates for a bit more money and in a “memorabilia wall” environment.. oh, but is it worth it! Tuesdays is a place I go to maybe once a month, mainly because it’s a bit out of the way and partly because the staff isn’t the best (at least at Deerwood Plaza). But when you want to be shown how American food gets done right, with style and flavor, Tuesdays is the place to go.
