I have been to Alchemy twice recently. Last night I shared the Beef Brisket and the the Daily Seasonal Salad with my partner. The sandwich was absolutely yummy. The meat was cooked in a beer concoction and it was tender and incredibly flavorful. The meat was nicely shredded and the sandwich didn't fall apart when you bit into the bun. The salad was less successful. The wimpy greens just couldn't stand up to the strawberries and Gorgonzola. The greens became mushy a word that should only be used to describe your lover's Valentine card. \n\nWe finished off the meal with a delicate Tres Leches cake. It was the epitome of restraint and delicately delicious. Recently we went to Alchemy in the evening just to have dessert. We had an amazing tort and were treated to the sounds of the Oak St Ramblers. How cool to walk for a few minutes, eat a homemade treat and revel of the sound of a truly east side institution. I love my neighborhood!
