Church of Seitan (a/k/a Cafe T & D)

Cafe Drake always enjoys skipping down Driggs Avenue past the leafy park to Cafe Thordis & David, a place where healthy meals are served graciously alongside unhealthy amounts of liquor. Red wine, toasted pumpkin seeds and madly friendly kitty Daphne kicked a Friday off the right way pressing all our happy buttons. First up was a composed Salad Caprese made with salty fresh mozzarella, ripe plum tomatoes and massive leaves of fresh basil. Seitan with Chiles and Baked Acorn Squash was a delicious entree, sided with a crunchy salad of shredded Chinese cabbage and onions tossed in a toasty sesame vinaigrette. More good wine, hearty conversation and a grappa di Chianti makes parting sweet sorrow.
