Chocolate Ave. Grill

Admittedly, I've been slacking on the cooking lately. My second job has increased my hours and I feel like I'm never home to cook anymore! So I'm cheating and blogging about the restaurant we went to last night before we went to the theatre to see Lewis Black.

It's a neat little place in Hershey, Josh thought that the decor was a little old (ceiling tiles were old for sure!) but I thought it had some cute touches.

Anyway, for an appetizer we ordered the spring rolls, a crab and shrimp blend, stuffed in crispy fried rice paper rolls, served with a black raspberry chipotle sauce. I thought they were pretty good, especially with the sauce.

For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Chesapeake, a sautéed chicken breast topped with broiled crab meat and mornay sauce served with a mediterranean risotto. The chicken and crab and sauce were very good, but the risotto was a little gummy for me.

Josh ordered Key West seasoned sautéed sea scallops with a citrus butter, over a toasted almond and pineapple risotto and sautéed asparagus. The risotto wasn't really his thing, I'm not even sure if he touched it! But he did surprise me and try the asparagus! And he kind of liked it! So I plan to get some at the farmer's market and try getting him to eat it at home.

The show was funny, as expected and it was the first that either of us have been to the Hershey Theatre, which is a beautiful building. Over all it was a good night, but I can't wait to try to get some cooking in this weekend!
