Little, French Table

As we mentioned before, Jason and I indulge at Mon Amie once a week. This past week was no different! Our Cheat Days this weekend were a little off because Jason had to work 2 shifts rather than just one at the fire department. So, we only had ONE real Cheat Day, GASP!! I find that it just isn't as much fun to indulge when my best friend isn't there to experience it with me! I suppose with that logic if I were a single woman I'd be skinny! Let me just go on record to say, I'd definitely be a depressed woman too! This boasts the question is it better to be Fat and Happy or Skinny and Depressed? Fortunately, I do believe I have found the answer and that is to be neither! I definitely am beginning to think that Fit, Fabulous and Fortunate are the three parameters to strive for! 

So, this week's FABULOUS menu included:

Jason: The Featured Crepe and Egg which included fresh mozzarella, caramelized onions, local tomato topped with egg and balsamic glaze and garnished with home potatoes. 

Audra: The Beef Gourmet Burger which was cooked to order and topped with fresh spinach, mozzarella, red onions, local tomatoes and pesto mayo. This hearty meal was served with frites.

Let me just say, this makes the second burger I have had from Mon Amie and I will go as far to say that it is the best burger I've ever put in my mouth! I'm pretty sure Heaven's gates opened up and blessed this burger with righteousness! It was so good in fact that it became a crime to not eat every last bite. Being the law abiding citizen I am, I proceeded to eat every single, solitary morsel! The perfect medium well patty was so juicy and seasoned to perfection. Also, both meals had locally grown tomatoes, which were by far the best tomatoes we have had all season. I'm not sure who their source is for fresh ingredients, but whoever you are kudos to you!! With all the rain we have had in SC this summer it is hard to get much taste out of tomatoes and those were out of this world. The fresh mozzarella was so light and fluffy, you felt like you were biting into a marshmallow! Often known as "Pizza Cheese," Mozzarella is a semi-soft creamy cheese, easily moldable and mild in flavor. This cheese paired with the burger, spinach and glorious roasted tomato really just set the bar for burgers as far as I am concerned and Jason seemed equally as pleased with it's use in the crepe. 

Thanks Mon Amie for never failing to impress! Does this make your mouth water? If so, we encourage you to check out Mon Amie, you will not be disappointed! Did you love the pairings of ingredients in these dishes? We think they were spot on! In fact, this is something we might try at home! Stay tuned for another great post!!
