The Pickle Barrel

I met up with my mom at The Pickle Barrel for dinner after work. I didn't really feel like eating a lot of starch tonight, so I decided to order the Steak Frites Caesar Salad. It's a striploin steak with sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions on a bed of Caesar salad, topped with deep-fried potato shreds and a thin piece of garlic toast. What I hate about The Pickle Barrel's steaks in general is that they don't taste restaurant-worthy. It's like something I could make at home, and I'm not exactly a great cook. But I finally found a steak dish that I actually really enjoy from there, because the steak on this salad was perfectly cooked; just tender and juicy and well-seasoned. The combination with the other ingredients made for the perfect mix of flavours and textures, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Best of all, I didn't feel bloated at all afterward! Definite re-order.
