TattooBoy and I needed to get some breakfast after a hard
night of after-partying. I had been wanting to check out Shish in St. Paul, and
he was game, so we headed over. The menu is on large boards hanging on the
walls, so it was pretty easy to figure out what we both wanted. They’ve got a
lot of Middle Eastern-leaning dishes, but also a wide variety of more
traditional American items for those less adventurous (no judgment). I was
drawn to the Chaksuka, and TattooBoy went with a serious Turkey and Cheese Omelet.
While we waited for our food to come out, TattooBoy had a
great view of the fancy cake display case, so it was only a matter of time
before he caved…
My Chaksuka looked fantastic, and better yet, it TASTED
fantastic. It was a cast iron pan full of grilled sweet red peppers, roasted
roma tomatoes, garlic and onions, and an egg. It came with a bunch of accoutrements
like kalamata olives, feta, pineapple slices, pepperocinis, tomatoes, fried
potatoes, and a ton of pita triangles. The people here do not want you to leave
hungry EVER.
TattooBoy was really happy with his omelet with turkey
sausage and cheese, but that certainly didn’t stop him from grabbing a piece of
incredible pistachio cake. Which made me think, “I should get something to bring home to
D.Rough!” I’m glad I did – that Bailey’s cake they made here was top-notch!
There were a bunch of things I’d get on the menu here, so I
look forward to going back here.
