Not only is it Friday, it’s payday. What better excuse to have a delicious lunch?? The other day, Tasting Table sent out an email about Taylor Gourmet’s new roast beef sammies. I am not the biggest red meat lover but I’m pretty sure Taylor can do no wrong and so I was more than happy to let their sandwich win me over :).
Taylor delivers and ever since learning the hard way that it is not possible to walk there and back in one lunch hour, delivery it is!
The downside is the wait time. It took almost an hour and a half for our little order to arrive! I guess every other person in DC had the same bright lunch idea. But of course, it was worth almost dying of starvation :).
Delancy Street – Taylor homemade roasted Angus beef, roasted red peppers, gorgonzola
As I expected it was very good, but not my favorite. I wish the gorgonzola flavor was more prominent but unfortunately it got a bit lost in everything else. What I die for is Taylor’s fresh mozzarella so perhaps I was just missing my one true love :).
I could only enjoy one half as I also had an order of risotto balls. I have been meaning to give them a try since first browsing the menu and today was the day!
Oh myyyy these were good. Warm and crispy on the outside outside with a soft risotto and melty cheese center. Paired with some deliciously spicy marinara sauce.
So that’s lunch!
And now the weekend looms. Tonight I’m headed out to VA to meet up with my dear high school friend Liz and a bunch of others, passing through town on their way to a wedding. It should be a fun one! I’ll see you all again soon of course.

Risotto balls?? What what!! Sounds fabulous. Friday paydays are the best kickoff to the weekend!
I love Friday paydays!! Can’t beat them:)
I made risotto cakes once, but they weren’t as nice as your balls!!!
Wait, that sounded a bit wrong, but seriously, everything just looks tastier in balls.
I’ve never even heard of risotto balls but they sure look yummy! 🙂
I’ve never had risotto…much less risotto balls! They look tasty though 🙂
Hehe…..risotto balls. Love the name (yes, I’m a teenage boy)!
But they sound pretty amazing – I’m a risotto LOVER!!!
Risotto balls? Oh my goodness. Please, someone, open a restaurant near me and sell these treasures!
Oh man, now I really want risotto balls!! Hope your weekend was fabulous 🙂
Yep – gotta love a Friday pay day! 😀
Hope you had a great weekend – that’s the second time in a couple days that I’ve seen risotto balls – I need to make them 😀
It would be a great use for leftover risotto I think. If you do make them, let me know how it goes!
