Kimball House

Holy fucking hipster central... All aboard!
Too bad it was filled with fat old rude wannabe hipsters 46 years too late. Ok, it wasn't that bad but it only takes a couple of selfish lardasses gorging on cases of oysters that decided to take up 4 stools all to themselves to ruin a nicely made cocktail I was trying to enjoy at the bar. I understand that you're obeast but do you really need to consume all the oysters... Along with the seating equipment, too? I do not want to be the server that has to push their stools in.
Once we got our table (the back corner booth, fucking rockstar!), the serenity now I was chanting over and over again began to kick in like a fat bald headed troll. Namaste, bitches, I win. Now, let's take a looksie at the menu and grab a few bites and a couple mo' cocktails.

Oysters. Hollywood, Stingray, Peters Point. They definitely have the best oyster selection (dozen+ varieties) in town... And the prices to show for it. But they do have a oyster special on the weekdays for a couple hours. Take advantage of that when you can and often. The best, Jerry. The best... Oysters in town.

Mussels Escabeche. Sounded better on paper. It wasn't bad but it was pretty sad visually. A few smallish mussels laying there like dead Sea Monkeys. Unfortunately, it was pretty tasteless, too. This ain't no escabeche.

Duck Mortadella. The color of the duck flaps seemed a bit pale... Kinda like the cheap mechanically separated chicken FMV (for mexican value) bologna you get at Food Lion. But after tonguing this duck flap around a couple times, I got the hang of it and enjoyed it very much. The bush on top was nicely trimmed and dressed baby kale. Tasty poon.

Chinese Sausage. I swore for a minute that they were using Asian store bought Chinese sausages (nothing wrong with store bought ones, they are actually pretty kickass)... But after tasting their version, it was the real deal. To make it officially an unthreatening ethnic dish to not scare off any round-eyes, they threw some salad people can identify on top. Not a grain of rice or soy sauce bottle in sight. It was a cute dish.

Brussels Sprouts. Shaved brussels sprouts with lardon and pimento puree thinger. This was very tasty. Portion too small for the pouch. Need another cocktail, STAT.

Overall observations: Cocktails are good. Food is good. Parking sucks. Fat people are jiggly. Cougars were prowling and sad no one was taking the bait, had to pay their own tab. Old ceiling belt fans were groovy. Pouch was pleasantly pleased with this joint.

Be back in two and two with Chuck, real soon.
