Steenbock's on Orchard, one of Food
Fight's Lilliputian (not so much) empire, is okay. Just okay. It's a nice, if a
bit sterile (all see-through glass/plastic panels), dining environment, but T.
and I were greatly disappointed with our food.
Plus, I'm still not thrilled about
Food Fight's refusal to forfeit its Wisconsin Restaurant Association membership
during the protests, even though the WRA contributed to the Walker
administration. To employ a very bad pun, it put a bad taste in my mouth.
To the food! I had the lake trout
piccata. Lake trout, itself, is already a very oily fish (and packed with
omega-3s like DHA and EPA!), so I'm not sure why you'd go the piccata
route. Une petite leçon about
piccata: The
word piccata is the Italian feminine version of piccato,
which means "larded." That's right, larded. So it’s food
that’s been sliced and sautéed and then served with
a sauce of lemon, butter, and spices.
