STEPH DEROSA: GORGONZOLA STEAK SALAD >>>
The Hub
Price: $11
Rating: Three out of four croutons
Description: Fresh spring greens are tossed with a sort of creamy Italian-balsamic dressing combination then topped with slivered almonds, crumbled gorgonzola, and steak cooked to the guest’s preferred temperature. Somewhere underneath, between, and amongst The Hub’s Gorgonzola Steak Salad lies an evenly dispersed drizzle of thick balsamic sauce.
Taste: The steak was perfectly cooked, perfectly tender, and perfectly seasoned. I could taste coarse ground pepper seared into every bite without having it kill the natural flavor of The Hub’s steak. Every bite was new, and each topping was complimentary of its salad topping neighbors. The sneaky treat came when my fork would run into a spot of that delicious balsamic glaze, bringing every bit of robust gorgonzola and tender steak together.
Conclusion: I could’ve used a little more meat and little less dressing, but that is just my personal preference. I believe there was the proper amount of both for the average Hub salad patron; but that steak was just so damn good I wanted more! I’m a fan of full-bodied cheeses alongside some all-American beef and fresh greens, so this salad definitely scored high with me.
Dressing on the side
As I said, more meat and less dressing is simply my personal preference. Everyone has their own opinion, and by no means should any review from anyone be taken as scripture.
Just as each bar has its own clientele, each meal suits individuals differently, and each band has their own fans. Let’s take for instance Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. I hated that movie. Yet eight wins, five nominations, and rated 8.5 out of 10 stars by the general public go against my own personal opinion.
Yes, fantastic actors. Love Steve Buscemi. I get it.
Yes, it had some intense scenes. I get that too.
But why the hell does it have such a cult following? That part I don’t get. It’s not all that great, and to be honest I turned it off early. I was bored within the first hour and even more bored by its tired attempt at viewer shock. But you know what? That just my opinion.
And now I have this brand new Reservoir Dogs DVD to get rid of. E-mail me and it’s yours.
