Here's an interesting pic (Little Shop of Horrors?):
There were Patriots fans everywhere! Just a guess, but it seemed like they outnumbered Giants fans about 10 to 1. Here's one of them:
Back to FOODBAR...
Here are two pics of the showcase and cashier area:
I ordered a Croque Madame (Smoked ham, fried egg, Swiss, chives, fire roasted Anaheim chilies - $8) and Patty had the Chicken Panini (w/ pesto mayo on foccacia -$8.50).
Both sandwiches were very good, although I preferred my Croque and Patty preferred her panini. I really liked the crusty French baguette (all breads are from local supplier, Simply Bread).
Here's a picture of the Croque Madame:
and here's the Chicken panini:
A cool James Beard poster in the bathroom:
The seating area is interesting. One side is lined w/ normal two tops. The other side has "sideway" seating, in which you sit sideways, and the table area is to your right or left. This lets two people share a table space. Here's a pic:
They also have counter seating at the other end of the restaurant. Here' a pic of that area:
While we were looking at the food items, I spotted a cobbler that I wanted to try. We would be back soon to try it!
After lunch, we went to Fashion Square for a bit of shopping.
Marcel Shipp (running back for the Arizona Cardinals) was signing autographs at Dillard's. Here's a pic:
While we were at Dillard's, I overhead someone saying that comedian/actor Chris Rock was just spotted in the store. I'm pretty sure we past by a few celebrities/musicians/athletes while in the mall. There were tons of people gathering around this group of guys in the food court (didn't recognize them but they are the "big guys" near the railing):
They stayed in the area for about ten minutes taking pictures.
After shopping, we headed back to FOODBAR for an afternoon/pre-dinner snack. I had to try the cobbler!
On our way there, ESPN was broadcasting from the Waterfront (as well as at UOP Stadium).
Here are a few pics:
I recognized Tom Jackson, but not the other guy... (Merrill Hoge or Kirk Herbstreit???)
A somewhat closer shot of Tom Jackson:
A cool new statue commemorating the Hashknife Pony Express (read more here):
...and finally, FOODBAR. Here's the cobbler (apple and cranberry w/ scoop of vanilla Haagen-Dazs - $4):
The cobbler was pretty tasty. I thought the fruit filling was a bit tart by itself, but with the ice cream it was just right.
We both liked FOODBAR. We'll be back to try their dinner offerings.
