Even on such a warm day it was lovely and cool inside.<BR/>We enjoyed our lunch immensely, our choices of rare skirt steak with chimmichurri, warm beetroot salad with chorizo and goats cheese, and panko crusted chicken with kimchi were just perfection on a plate. So enamoured am I with Karen's chimmichurri I'm determined to make my own and keep going til I get it right. If she bottled it, she'd be onto a real winner.<BR/> Apparrantly the cupcakes are to die for. Rita certainly seemed to enjoy hers and I'm sure she'll enjoy the two she took home also. [sorry Rita},I got such pleasure watching her eat one and all the ooohs and aaahs. <BR/>So thankyou Rita for your wonderful company and helping me to discover yet another fantastic place to lunch in Hobart.<BR/>Tassiegal where were you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-42726897383734700342009-01-30T16:33:00.000+11:002009-01-30T16:33:00.000+11:00thanks, rita.as rockoyster posted, the site's just...thanks, rita.<BR/><BR/>as rockoyster posted, the site's just a splashpage with 'website coming soon', so I wasn't able to glean a peek at their menu. <BR/><BR/>I'm nosy like that... occupational hazard.Blue Mtns Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764609384798101123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-15517370397533601172009-01-30T15:25:00.000+11:002009-01-30T15:25:00.000+11:00That would be www.tastekgrcatering.com.au but not ...That would be <A HREF="http://www.tastekgrcatering.com.au" REL="nofollow">www.tastekgrcatering.com.au</A> but not much use going there as it only says web site coming soon.<BR/><BR/>Link adding instructions in your email inbox Reetz.rockoysterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020729814174215149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-11818534400855025572009-01-30T14:56:00.000+11:002009-01-30T14:56:00.000+11:00Hey Chef - adding the url at the moment on this ne...Hey Chef - adding the url at the moment on this new site requires HTML language I don't have, I'm afraid.

I'll speak with the guru and see how we look with that, but I think we'll be out of luck there. I think we needed the trade-off, so lost a few things like that when we amalgamated the two sites.<BR/>Kris - yes, I'm glad you recognized my tire pumping! I would love you to come back and tell me after you've sampled Karen's wares. They have a natty little childrens room set aside too. Not sure if it is used by cafe patrons, but there would be no harm in asking. They have the cleverest kids chairs in there - ask them to show you. You'll be amazed.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721723151185687327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-57202238211108183612009-01-29T20:33:00.000+11:002009-01-29T20:33:00.000+11:00Scotch eggs = count me in.

This means things disappear before we get our usual full and frank comments.<BR/>Out of site, out of mind.<BR/>Also, the pics...which look great...also tend to stretch the item, forcing an earlier turnover to items being assigned ``older posts''.<BR/>Thought I'd mention it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-53959981309263759622009-01-29T17:58:00.000+11:002009-01-29T17:58:00.000+11:00So I'll see you there tomorrow Rita!Can't wait!So I'll see you there tomorrow Rita!<BR/>Can't wait!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-74747778228452675142009-01-29T17:34:00.000+11:002009-01-29T17:34:00.000+11:00Hi Christina - yes, please do get along there.

The other thing I really wanted to try was:<BR/>Bratwurst scotch egg with boks bacon and Karen's mums chutney ($8)<BR/>but also:<BR/>House cured and cold smoked atlantic salmon, horseradish creme fraiche, radish, crispy capers and a touch of lemon and olive oil ($8)<BR/>Nichols chicken panko crumbed schnitzel in a roll with kimchi ($10). I love Nichols chicken, panko and kimchi! Sounds like my ideal lunch too!<BR/><BR/>Barbara Pongratz says her favourite there (which she keeps having) is the Warm salad of beetroot, wursthaus chorizo, ashgrove fetta, greens with an orange vinaigrette ($8), which I need to try as well.<BR/><BR/>I also like the sound of Asparagus, poached free range eggs, roasted capsicum mayonnaise with shaved pyengana cheddar ($8). Looks like this for breakfast is also the go for me!<BR/><BR/>So much beautifulness in one room!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721723151185687327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-30024775941237009962009-01-29T17:19:00.000+11:002009-01-29T17:19:00.000+11:00Rita you're a saviour!Looking for something differ...Rita you're a saviour!<BR/>Looking for something different to do on the last day of my holidys tomorrow, and I think you've just found it for me.<BR/>It sounds wonderful to me.<BR/> Before I read your piece I looked at the pictures and thought "that looks like my Irish Stew".<BR/>Maybe I can rustle up some company but if not I'm determined to try Taste.<BR/>I didn't know it existed until now.<BR/>How exciting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
