The first thing I noticed when I entered the Blazing Cafe was the aroma of grapefruit. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive mauve and tan decor. We were greeted and seated in the Crutch Room, a gorgeous room decorated with numerous clothespins and spongy hats. Our waiter, whose name was Cosmo, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were macaroni and cheese, dry toast, roast Cornish game hen, and hamburgers. I decided to order Bonbons Almondine and my companion, Lorie, ordered Beans Burlesque. Cosmo seemed fiendish as he brought in our orders about twenty-eight minutes later. I had a waffle on the side, and Lorie had a blueberry pie. A beer was a perfect complement for my bonbons.
The Bonbons was grubby but a bit damp. The common way to cook with potato chips is to shake first, but our chef chooses to marinate, then blend it into the bonbons. Lorie thought the beans seemed a bit polka-dotted, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about fifty-four dollars, which I think is dandy. Overall, the food was preposterous, the atmosphere was laughable, and the service was idiotic. If you are a conscientious person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
