CPK occasionally adds new items to its menu, some of which are better than others. Last night, after the 4 p.m. mass, Fr. Long and I met at CPK. I brought a bottle of Zinfandel that was given to me, and it was surprisingly very drinkable. I got to the restaurant first and had time to study the menu.
When Fr. Long arrived, he ordered the Chicken Tequila Fettuccine. I decided to try the new Salmon Baked in Parchment.
Fr. Long did enjoy his pasta. I absolutely loved my Salmon. It was like opening a present. The anticipation of what was inside that paper aside from the salmon. It had broccolini, roasted tomatoes, Kalamata olives, capers, oregano, and garlic. It was drizzled with EVVO, topped with lemon, basil, and slivered scallions, and baked to perfection in their hearth oven. The fish was so flaky and flavorful that I decided I had to return soon and have it again!
Fr. Long had no room for dessert, even if I had lots of room, but Lent made me decide to pass. CPK started handing out their Thank-You cards once again. They are a great marketing tool; a manager can only open them during your next visit. You can win $40k or a 10% to 50% discount on your next meal.
CPK has numerous locations all over. Try to get there before the current specials disappear.
