Avengers Food

This is the first in "eating food I see in movies" blogs. This is No. 1: The Avengers. If you've seen Avengers, you'll know what I'm talking about today. At the very end, Iron Man invites all the Avengers to go to a restaurant and they all get the same thing: a beef shawarma.

And today we went to a restaurant, The Cafe, that had that! The Cafe is up in Ames, by where my mom and dad went to college. It's by Iowa State. Well, somewhat close to it.

At first, I was wondering what shawarma was and then my dad told me it was from the end of Avengers. Then I kind of remembered it, and he said they were all eating shawarma  So then I remembered it and I was like, "Hmmm." When it was my turn to order, I told the waitress, "I want beef shawarma," that's also what my dad got, too.

So as I was waiting for my food they had these things called wiki sticks. They were like little wax strands that you can stick together and make almost anything out of them. I was making people and playing around with them. I was waiting for my food to come.

Before I got my food, I ordered an iced tea. Here is a new thing that you probably don't know yet. For my New Year's resolution I said I will not be drinking pop anymore. So you won't see it in any of my reviews.

The beef shawarma came with cous cous that had tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions and parsley. They tasted really fresh and it was OK. I have to say, it wasn't my favorite. But the shawarma was the really good part. First it tasted like a gyro, and I love gyros.

In the shawarma there was shaved beef, cole slaw and pickled vegetables and it came with two dipping sauces. One was a ranchy kind that I really liked and the other tasted like tomato soup to me, I didn't like it at all. And since I loved the shawarma so much, I could only eat two pieces since I also ate a huge piece of baked potato pizza. It was very funky. My mom got it because she loves baked potatoes.

So I took home two pieces of shawarma and later in the afternoon, ohhhh my stomach wasn't feeling that good. It must have been the seasoning on the potatoes on the pizza. But anyways, the shawarma was a really good sandwich and I'm going to take one piece of my leftovers to lunch tomorrow.

My dessert was chocolate cake. I asked my mom if I could have the chocolate candy piece that was on top of it. But I hated it! Guess what it was? A Whopper! I hate those. You guys might like those but I don't. The cake was very chocolatey and tasted good. The frosting was very sweet. I liked it. But I really wanted my dad's cake. It was a lemon one with fresh fruit on the sides because it was so rich.

We were at the restaurant today because it was my dad's birthday and you always have to go to where the birthday boy wants to eat. So we went to The Cafe. I was not in school because it was Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

That's all for today's review.

I might try to have French fondue next because that's what they had in Captain America.
