After a week long bender of rich food (i.e. yak, escargot potstickers, and more pork belly than an actually piggy sports), along with a bevy of beverages, I developed what the French call a crise de foie, or “crisis of the liver.” The French maintain that they are the only people who suffer this malady. I do not concur. Three things combat this illness and make me feel healthier just for the eating of them: beets, sushi, and Ethiopian food. Habesha, an Ethiopian restaurant right near the Stewart on-ramp, has exposed brick, lovely decor, easy going service, and a traditional menu that doesn’t intimidate. The phrase “vegetable combo platter” has never offered so much value and flavor, each offering differently spiced and able to stand on its own. Just go read Jonathan Kauffman’s review. He says it best. It doesn’t break the bank, and the food was decidedly easier on my foie than last week’s meat binge.
