We recently tried CraftWay Kitchen in Plano for a frozen old fashioned and grilled cheese that did not disappoint
For a starter we were drawn to the flash-fried asparagus, panko-crusted with lemon caper aioli. The flash-fry procedure must really be a flash because it arrived at our table in less than five minutes. Four spears were cooked perfectly al dente, but perhaps with a bit too much aioli for our tastes, but to each his own. This set us back $11. Affordable? Perhaps. But the dish seemed to be more like an $8 side dish.
The grilled cheese, created with American, cheddar and provolone cheese, grilled in Texas toast, cost us $14. It came with a cup of roasted tomato soup and steak fries. Nothing beats a good grilled cheese, oozing with a rich and creamy perfectly melted interior on buttery toasted bread, and this did not disappoint. The soup did not blow us away but was just a supporting actor anyway, playing a bit part in the presentation of the dish. Make room for the star.
Our second selection was the pastrami Reuben, which is made with house-smoked pastrami, sauerkraut, Gruyère cheese and Russian dressing on rye bread. It was a lot of meat and sliced rather thickly, so a little of that went a long way. It was flavorful if a bit salty, but perhaps we are spoiled by the likes ofwhen it comes to house-made pastrami. Still, we appreciate the effort and freshness evident by producing it in-house.
We had high hopes for perusing the dessert menu, but it was not to be this evening. The owners have opened another location in Frisco, so we might visit that location soon for brunch and desserts, assuming we find ourselves up there in search of another kitchen implement. We do need a new melon baller.
