Hello once again all of you compassionate readers. Thursday night became once again another sad night for dinner. Finding myself waking up at 5:30 after only trying to sleep for an hour and rushing to take a shower and get ready to go to work I was stuck once again eating the delicious food from Courtside Cafe. One of the same two items of the menu that I will actually eat, a chicken quesadilla. While it wasn't that bad once i was able to cover it in sour cream and the bland salsa they give you with it, lets just say Im happy that I didn't have to pay for it. My problem with the quesadilla is probably everything but the chicken. First of all the garlic herb wrap. Aside from the fact that it doesn't really taste like garlic or herbs, i seem to have an extreme food aversion from these things. This summer after waking up hungover and running down the boardwalk to a place called Garys I found myself ordering a cheap breakfast burrito, bacon egg and cheese. How could you mess it up? Put it on one of those disguisting wraps. I threw the thing away after one bite and asked the older guy behind the counter what he was thinking. Second of all I am not one bit of a fan of cheddar cheese. I find it flavorless and pretty gross in most applications. The quesadilla is also supposed to have red onions, which might bring a good taste to the poor thing yet the majority of the people working there decide that meh it doesn't matter. And the last ingredient of all, pre-diced and packaged tomatoes, delicious. Raw tomatos alone I dont like unless they are fresh and in season. Regardless I stuffed the thing down my throat and went back to work. Isn't it funny being a culinary student, our main goal trying to make the best food possible and give someone the best dining experience they have had, yet how often do we, and chefs in the industry, actually allow ourselves the time to enjoy one too?
