Whilst my site undergoes new hacking, coding, styling and other mayhem, it occurs to me that it’s been a while since I’ve talked about food on this site.  You’d never know it to look at my ever-expanding ass, so I thought I’d address a new place we checked out yesterday evening.

Generally, when something new opens up in Pittsford, I keep my powder dry.  A new boutique or some new trendy place like the Cold Crotch Creamery doesn’t usually do it for me, but after the initial public “panic” wears off, its usually safe to check out.  Such was the case for Tasteology, and since my wife and I have been trying to eat healthier and this place boasted of a more organic menu, it seemed like a good fit.

The decor is about what you’d expect in Pittsford, I’d say.  Lots of modern accents and light wood, flowy lines and generally very sleek styling.  It probably looks pretty cool at night, and I suppose at 7pm or so it didn’t look too bad either.  I’m just a fan of old-school touches and a bit more softness.  Can you tell we new home owners have been watching the HGHD network?

But the food was pretty kick-ass.  We started with grilled pita, tapenade and hummus.  Normally, this appetizer comes with guacamole, but nothing comes with guacamole when its meant to hit any table I plan to eat off of.  Actually, neither hummus nor tapenade are things normally found on my menu, prior to a few years ago.  But as Sarah and I slowly go “Foodie,” these things inevitably creep in.  We tried to eat this one slowly.  We failed.

Then Sarah had a chicken stir-fry with orange-soy sauce and noodles and I had the lobster ravioli.  Yes, we’re trying to eat healthier.  But “trying” and “doing” often are not the same thing.  Still, these are a fair sight better than the carb-fests we’ve typically eaten at Biaggi’s or Carrabba’s or Bennucci’s or Gambini’s or Fibonacci’s or The Guidonian or whatever.  Sarah’s dish was something of an “acquired taste,” but she liked it.  Mine was nice because it had leeks and tomato sauce.  We also had a couple of hot teas: mine was hibiscus, ginger and orange, hers was called “white lemon lime,” and I’m not sure where the lemon and lime flavours came from, but they were there.

We ended with a chocolate torte.  Like I said, “trying.”  And besides, tortes don’t have wheat, so that’s good, right?  We didn’t over-think it, we just ate.

And it was pretty damned good, and the price was right.  We got out of there for fifty bucks.  So, we’ll probably go back, especially since our new-found craving for healthier food doesn’t leave many options for eating out, anymore.
