Upper Crust

I had a dream. A very happy one. I dreamt that I wore a belt and I could use one of the real holes, not one of the fake ones I got the local mochi to poke into them.

I dreamt that I had to shop for a whole new wardrobe because I couldnt fit into my old clothes. And I was happy.

But this was the mere culmination of the dream. What went before was even more blissful. It was the Reason, the Cause, the Root.

I dreamt that for a whole year, I ate dinner at Upper Crust *everyday*. And that ladies and gentlemen, is a summary of this foodie place - I could go there everyday.

They serve sizzlers, stake and baked stuff. And it is good. For veggies, someone recommended the potpourri. I have no idea how it tastes for I was too busy stuffing myself with chicken and cheese.

Oh! The Cheese! Mountains of it!

Anhow, I think you get the idea. Definitely among the top 2 restaurants I've come across in Ahmedabad.

Cribs
1. Damn waiters wore some shiny green apron. Seriously.
2. Need to wait to get a table.

Pluses
1. They gave me cake! For Free! It was a spongy chocolatey cake! :-D

Numbers
Price: 3 Average (~ 300 per head)
Value for money: 3
Taste: 4 (Starters 2, Main course 4, Desserts 3, Free Cake 5)
Waiters & Staff: 2 (Shiny green? Seriously?)
Drinks: 0 (They have mocktails :-/)

How to get there
Take a rick, ask for Binay Chaar Rasta, Upper Crust is quite close to Chocolate Room.

Overall
2 thumbs up :-) I will go there again.

Amdavad Food Reviews (AFR)

This blog is very much like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - long dead and spinning in its grave, this not due to modern pop music, but 'cos it's completely embarrassed by our feeble attempts to resurrect it once every two years with a phoenix-like post.

The underlying problem is this: Gidwani is Lazy as Hell and I'm just a sucky writer who wouldn't wanna bring down the elite quality of previous posts (altough small in number (thanks to the aforementioned laziness)) down.

So we reach an impasse: A blog that treads the fine line between dead and comatose.

Incedentally, I'm now also faced with a problem - I don't know of places to go to for dinner in this city where every place is exactly Rs. 20 by auto away from every other place. Verily, the designers Designers of Ahmedabad were ofcourse Serious Mathematicians.

So I was thinking that everytime I do visit a new place here, I should make a note of it. A log or journal even. Hence the idea of "Amdavad Food Reviews". And given that the name of this blog is Contri Dinner, it's perfect, with an almost was-destined-to-be aura!

Watch out for a review of Upper Crust soon. Signing off, hoping that this isn't one of those yearly phoenixy posts.
