Theme Restaurants
For a challenge at lighthouse_the. Hope to add another restaurant and some images later...
1) The Caper Cafe
You know how the Leverage crew love to to have a restaurant/bar to hang out in. After retirement, Nate and Sophie open a cafe, where they entertain all sorts of people from their past--Parker, Hardison and Eliot to plan their jobs, previous clients, and even a few past adversaries. The food is light but nourishing, the menu changes frequently, and there are a few rich delights for special celebrations.
Menu Items (thanks to my pal seraphina_snape for the list of cons in her 12 Days post)
Ponzi Scheme Soup: Tempting ingredients--peppers, onions, garlic and pork loin--get added, then taken away to make a flavorful broth. We then add shell pasta, potatoes, carrots and turkey to make a healthy soup that's not as rich as it seems.
The Turnabout Salad: A complex blend of micro greens, cabbage, spiced walnuts, radishes and a green goddess-style dressing. Every bite will be different!
The Cuban Sandwich: You think you know what you're getting, but with this cuban sandwich you may get more than you bargained for. Prosciutto instead of ham, brie instead of swiss, and roasted chicken instead of pork, with spicy pickles and hot mustard.
The Zanzibar Marketplace Stew: This comforting, spicy stew full of simmered potatoes, carrots, turnips and onions might fool you by being complete vegan--the "meat" is actually tofu but with a depth of flavor that you will simply love.
The Glengarry Glen Gateau: A real "in your face" cake that just shouts "self-indulgent."
