The internet is an amazing thing. Especially Facebook. I've discovered so many places through the power of the "share" button on Facebook. Like The Chubby Cook.
Located in Beachwood in a strip mall, The Chubby Cook is part take out restaurant, part catering company, and part cooking school. Sounds like a lot to try and tackle for a new venture, but things seem to be going pretty well for the folks at The Chubby Cook so far.
I dropped by last week after stalking their web site and Facebook page to learn more about their daily specials. Every day there is a different sandwich, salad, and entree special available. (and according to their site/menu, if you call in advance, you can order anything off of their regular menu - which has plenty of vegetarian friendly options) I went for the daily entree special which was vegan ratatouille over polenta bars with slivered toasted almonds. Admittedly, I'm not the biggest polenta fan, but even still - I really enjoyed my lunch. (I could have eaten a whole container of the ratatouille - SO good!) I called ahead, which seems like a good idea since they were nearly sold out of everything by 12:30. Since I'm a sucker for brownies, I also grabbed one of their pre-made desserts, placed right by the check out stand. If you can call it that. I was able to cash out on an iPad. Technology is awesome. If you live or work in the Beachwood area, The Chubby Cook is definitely worth a try. Be sure to check out their specials and even more importantly - call ahead if you plan on placing an order. Although you can eat in, I think getting take out might be better, too. Seating is very limited.
Have you been to The Chubby Cook?
