About a year ago, at the end-of-season wrestling banquet, I got a gift card to Chameleon Cafe. It’s been sitting by the front door since then. Going to this year’s banquet reminded me I had that card, so I finally used it.
I was able to get in right after 6pm, which was good. I don’t eat late dinners very much any more. I had fried oysters for an appetizer. They really weren’t that oystery. The cornmeal breading was tasty.
My main dish was monkfish. I loved it. I don’t know why I don’t see monkfish on menus more often. Are they rare? Are they the baby seals of the ocean floor? They certainly aren’t as cute. Maybe that’s why people eat them. Or maybe it’s because they taste so good.
The sides were also very good. There was broccolini (which is just very fun to say), and sweet potatoes cooked with bacon (smoky and sweet… mmm…). And the sauce on the plate was delicious. I mopped it all up with the monkfish.
It was a great meal. Thank you, wrestlers of 08/09.
And just what is broccolini?
GreatDelicious way to start the weekend!I had this last night for dessert…before you blast me, just know that the menu said, ‘All desserts, this week only, 1/2 the calories.” I know, I couldn’t believe it either!

Monkfish must be rare because they’re celibate, so they don’t reproduce well.
(I can hear you booing.)
