Finally Minnesota has given us a sense of hope for the arrival and permanence of warm weather! This is the (short) season to enjoy the outdoors and indulge in foods that not only cool us off but curb our cravings. This past weekend I enjoyed a Chef's Own Flatbread at Aster Cafe in St. Anthony Main. With a base of house tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella topped with fennel sausage, chicken, soprassata salami and bacon I left feeling more than satisfied. This savory and spicy Italian fare paired perfectly with the warm sun and a strong house cappuccino. The perfect personal size allowed for the enjoyment of every last bite. I have to admit I was very conflicted in my meal choice, the fresh sandwiches and house gnocchi were also contenders in the decision making. By process of elimination, and a hankering for Italian meats and seasoning I chose the Chef's Own. However, I do plan to make a return with friends to try the Charcuterie Board of house-cured and locally-sourced meats and cheeses for an appetizer along with The Mirage, a non-alcoholic beverage that consists of blackberries and strawberries with citrus and mint as a refreshment on a particularly scorching day. Needless to say, Aster Cafe's patio felt like home, and I wholeheartedly intend to go back soon and explore their menu further.
