I want to delve deep into a very important topic…you know it is…lunch! If there is one common theme among video production houses, and the entertainment business in general, it’s food, and we tend to be enthusiastic foodie’s here at Citizen! So rather than dish about work today, I’m going to rave about the best beet salad I have ever laid my taste buds on!
Squeaky Bean resides at the corner of Tejon and 33rd in the LoHi neighborhood, in a charming old building that used to be an apothecary. The owner John is quite proud of his new establishment, sourcing only the best ingredients from local growers: seasonal, organic, sustainable, unique and delectable. His beet salad is presented on a rectangular white plate, with an incredibly creamy basil vinaigrette base. The multi-colored, perfectly steamed, al dente beets are piled high on top of spicy greens, garnished with shaved pecorino and rough chop hazelnuts, and finished off with micro-herbs. The flavors all pop. In short, it’s a party in your mouth! I suggest dining in, in order to appreciate the beautiful presentation, and you should get one per person, as you will not want to share!
