New restaurant reality show on NBC - not sure about it yet
I finally got around to dining at The Black Olive on Clinton Street in Armory Square, across the street from Al’s Whisky Bar. I gotta come right out and tell you that this particular dining experience didn’t really work for me. This is not to say you wouldn’t like it, because there are so many degrees of expectation, taste and style. For example, when I was a kid I really liked those ripe black olives mainly from California, whereas now I much prefer the taste and mouth-feel of imported black olives, like the ones in the big white buckets at the deli counter in Lombardi’s Imported Foods on Butternut Street.
The Black Olive Restaurant’s menu is pretty much Greek. The chef has his or her own interpretations of many of these items that didn’t match my expectations...
