With the recent sunshine bathing the British Isles my other half and I decided to dine alfresco. Spotting a wonderful little eatery by the side of the road we thought we would give it a try. The proprietor was clearly inspired by concepts of Japanese minimalism along with a hint of Warhol as the establishment had been made to look like a caravan and devoid of any adornments except a sign boldly proclaiming the eponymous name of the restaurant; "Susie's Stick Baps and Fast Food'. 'What a treat!' we thought, not only is the owner so proud of her restaurant that she has put her own name to it, but the name also hinted at a delectable menu of sweet honey infused pastries and Japanese inspired quick eating.
The minimalist design was adhered to in that there were no tables or chairs, just a wonderfully decadent canopy that swung out over the side of the establishment. The restaurant was obviously popular as there was a queue of people waiting for admittance. Exclusive eateries often have such queues, but of course one does have connections and can bypass such things. Our social standing has obviously improved because the queue of people nudged one another, pointed at us and gave amazed gasps as we proceeded to give our order.
Not wishing to hurry we decided to order some drinks whilst we perused the menu. The girl serving us remarked that she would have to open a new box of wine, I felt bad that I had forced her to open a whole box of wine for us. She informed me that it was ok since she had to get rid of it since no one ever drank it. The wine was a rather vulgar affair I'm sad to say; I can only imagine that perhaps the sommelier hadn't been in attendance for a while and it hadn't been stored properly.
I decided upon the rather daring sounding 'Hot Dog', presumably a Korean dish in keeping with the Far Eastern motif. My other half settled on the rather scrummy sounding 'cheese burger'. It's so rare these days to find a place that has a good vegetarian option. We could actually see our food being prepared and then cooked. The chef had such a wonderful primal quality to him; even his were dirty, presumably from charcoal, to really infuse the food with flavour.
The 'Hot Dog' was wonderful, it came served in a sheet of coarse paper, which, we were told, doubled as a napkin; such a wonderful testament to the owner’s commitment to Japanese culture that she would seek to include Japanese efficiency in even this simplest of things. The Cheese Burger was also a triumph. The cheese had been melted on top of a nice squishy pancake. My other half wanted to make sure there was no meat in it and enquired; the girl replied that everything in the cheese burger was artificial. Again such a wonderful testament to the Japanese ethos that their culture of technology had been woven into the food.
Prices were quite reasonable. The waitress said she had a special deal for people like us; I don't like to trade on social class, but it does have its benefits. Two glasses of wine, a 'Hot Dog' and a 'Cheese Burger’ and we had change from £50.
Highly recommended!
