Eating to Live on the Outside: Grezzo Restaurant
After a week off, Eating to Live on the Outside is back. And today I found Grezzo Restaurant in Boston and it’s got a lot of potential. Grezzo serves up a ton of veggies!
Having flipped through their online menu, here’s a bunch of things I’d consider ordering. Some are pretty wild and very unique, take a look:
Winter Melon Stew
Caesar Salad
- Watermelon broth, Santa Claus melon, honeydew and lavender; interesting, I’ve never even heard of Santa Claus melon!
- Creamy lemon and dulse vinaigrette, baby iceberg lettuce, red onion, eggplant bacon and garlic croutons; I’ll skip the croutons and since they don’t use animal products, I’m curious to see what eggplant bacon is.
House Salad
- Baby lettuce, house-made cheese, croutons and green goddess vinaigrette; same deal with the croutons and don’t worry about the cheese, its nut cheese.
Big House Salad
- Baby lettuce, marinated and pickled vegetables, raw red wine vinaigrette, herbed cheese and croutons; again with the croutons.
Baby Arugula Salad
- Pickled asparagus, baby arugula grapefruit, marcona almonds and soaked currants; I love asparagus!
Marinated Shiitake Mushroom and European Cucumber Salad
Land and Sea
- Baby iceberg, fresh garbanzos, marinated shiitake mushrooms, cucumbers and orange Thai chili cream; looks good.
- Maitake mushrooms, yellow oyster mushrooms, honshimeji mushrooms, ricotta, dulse and Maine coast kelp; wow, that’s a lot of mushrooms, although the kelp might be salty.
Like I said, pretty exotic. But if I had to choose, I’d probably go with the Land and Sea or the Big House Salad. All those mushrooms intrigue me and a salad is always a great idea.
But what would you order? Check out Grezzo’s menu and let me know how you handle Eating to Live on the Outside. Just make a comment. If not, I'll kick your butt—kidding.
