Kate and I just had what I would like to refer to as a Zombie Meal (c). I would make a fun graphic for that, and I'm sure I actually will later, but the point of it being called a Zombie meal is that we were both totally bushed. We hit up Olde Peninsula specifically because we had walked a few blocks with nothing popping out at us and finally just went with the first place that we saw.
We started off with an appetizer of Pretzerella Sticks (mozzarella sticks that are breaded with pretzel crumbs instead of bread crumbs). They were quite tasty, but not entirely the most structured food- they more or less fell apart as we tried to eat them.
I really liked the spinach fettucini! Spinach pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes. Not much more to say about it than I totally cleaned my plate. It was just what I wanted without even knowing it.
Past that, our server was super good to us, especially because we were so out of it with exhaustion. And she told us this wicked awesome story about about a truck backing into a car while trying to park across the street. I liked her. Go her. So... yeah. Olde Peninsula. Woo.

Kate: Pretzella Stix and Turkey Peninsula Burger
I think the Zombie Meal is right on! Wow! We were wiped out. So, yes, mad props to the server who didn't laugh at our exhaustion too much. And, I think I may have ordered a raspberry beer, that would be like me, but I can't recall if I actually did or didn't. Sad!
The dining experience was good. The Pretzella Stix are a novel idea and good in theory. They were tasty, but a challenge to eat. And, when you are that zombie-esque, it was doubly challenging. But, yummy nonetheless.
And, on to the turkey burger. I am a sucker for a turkey burger, and this one was good. Peninsula style is pretty much your basic burger. Lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard. Perfect. This was a good turkey burger. Cooked just right. I will remember as the place in town for a good turkey burger. And, I also had a side salad instead of fries, as I am sure you could have guessed, and it was also worth returning for. I had a beer vinaigrette dressing that was really yummy. All in all, Olde Pennisula was great and will be visited again!
