Saturday Gourmet

So I went to lunch with my mom and we wanted something special... something new! We named off our favorites: Panera, Taziki's, and so on so forth! Nothing sounded good. Surely, you've been in a similar situation before... Well someone suggested we try The Saturday Gourmet Cafe... we were on Hwy 280 and only two minutes from Hwy 41! So we decided to try it out and what an experience!!! It was this small, quaint cafe in "the town" of Mt. Laurel. You're greeted once you walk in the door and are overwhelmed by the aroma of the food. The menu, in and of itself, is astonishing! You're thinking "cafe"; sandwiches, salads, etc. No, don't get me wrong, they have all that, as well as pork loin, steak, chicken, meatloaf, lasagna, and more! (And we're not talking about ordinary recipes either...) My mom ordered the special for that day, pork loin with a pumpkin sauce, and I ordered the Fried Green Tomato Club with Gouda mac. As we waited we sampled the cranberry white chocolate cookie and the triple chocolate peanut butter brownie.... INCREDIBLE! (that's coming from two sweet tooths!) When the food arrived, it took a while to decided whether or not we wanted to eat it or just stare... it was so pretty. The smell won out- we ate! Words truly cannot describe the feelings you feel as food that savory touches your tongue! WOW! Words cannot express...Go and see for yourself! By the way all their food is fresh and not to mention organic! YUM!!
