My love affair with FreshDirect’s products truly started two years ago with this BBQ chicken & Gouda pizza and I thought it was high time to dedicate a post to the food that has been my dinner more times than I can count. I was never a huge barbecue sauce fan so I was initially skeptical of this pizza, but the sauce is very light and tastes more of pure love. The pizza is topped with onions, chicken breast, mozzarella and Gouda on a very light crust.


I was debating for a while on how best to capture the awesomeness of this pizza, and while falling asleep one night I thought… Eureka! A haiku is the perfect way to write about FreshDirect pizza! Well, weeks and many, many less-than-mediocre haiku later… I leave you with this. The best (or maybe the worst?) of the bunch:

The pictures are just as good (bad) as the poem:

But really, don’t let the quality of my poem keep you from trying the pizza. It’s the perfect light dinner – ready in 25 minutes – and take a slice or two for lunch the next day!

Note to self: less poetry, more FreshDirect pizza.

Always, always ask the restaurant staff what they recommend. Especially when that waiter/bartender/host is clearly knowledgeable about the menu and/or very good looking.

Landmarc is known for their meat, but after consulting said knowledgeable bartender, he advised me not to miss their new tomato-feta bruschetta, and that it was ‘superb’. Warm, salty, crunchy, and soft, he was exactly right when he said it was superb!

Their burger was very good as expected, but I mean come on, they specialize in meat, it should be really good. The fries were probably some of the best I’ve had recently. But after hearing a lot about the goat-cheese profiteroles I was expecting more than three little dots of dough on a plate for $12! Delicious, but where was the rest!?! Walk a few blocks and have Brandy Library whip you up a nice basket full (6) of their gougeres for just $8.
