Salvador Molly’s is a casual bar featuring “world cuisine”. \u00a0 That is, menu items reflect a whole host of different countries and cultures. \u00a0I might not have ever noticed this place, at it not been featured on an episode of “Man vs. Food”, where the chief gluttoneer, Adam Richman, took on a challenge to eat five spicy habanero fritters. \u00a0Did he make it? \u00a0Watch the video<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I had a vague plan to meet after work and grab something. \u00a0I had proposed a place or two, but when the time came, I didn’t really have a yen for going out, and I picked her up, and we started home. \u00a0On the way, she said she was feeling a might peckish<\/a>, so purely on impulse, I pulled into “Mollys.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

They had me for three reasons right off the top: \u00a01) \u00a0a pitcher of ice water brought to the table; \u00a0peanuts in the shell to munch on; \u00a02) Stella Beer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We perused the menu to narrow down the choices, which wasn’t that easy. \u00a0I came to a decision, which was a tie between a Cuban Sandwich and a Vietnamese French Dip (menu<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prepared to offer one of those up to the server, I surprised myself, but mouthing those words, but out came “Djibouti Injera Platter”, an Ethiopian melange of richly flavored sauces, vegetables, shrimp, and the local spongy flatbread.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was incredible, and I couldn’t finish it. If I have a ‘complaint’, (don’t I always?), I would have preferred larger shrimp (they used salad size), but they did make up for it in quantity.<\/strong><\/div>\n

\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
Mrs. BurgerDogBoy went with the Vietnamese Beef Noodle Salad, and also found the experience filling to the point whereby she wanted to take her homes (it conveniently comes served in a Chinese take-out box), but alas, in the hubbub of leaving, we left it on the table. \u00a0DOH!<\/strong><\/div>\n

\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
I am sure Molly’s will become a regular stop for me. \u00a0I was hard pressed to find a single item on the menu I wouldn’t like to try.<\/strong><\/div>\n

\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
Salvador Molly’s uses a couple of tag lines “Food without Borders” and “Pirate Cooking.” \u00a0Both suit them. \u00a0Good job, folks.<\/strong><\/div>\n
