« Science tats | Main | Haven Bros. Diner on 'Today Show' with R.I. blogger's photos » April 9, 2008Portuguese-style paella in New Bedford
Monday I took my husband to Antonio's in New Bedford for paella for a birthday lunch. At 29.95 for two -- more like five or six, actually -- this Portugese-style Spanish dish was full of mussels, clams, scallops, chicken, chorizo and definitely improved by a whole split lobster. All of it swam in a mild, thin tomato sauce over yellow rice. The dish was not spicy --although there's hot sauce on the table if you want to pump it up -- and even the chorizo behaved more like beef than sausage. Simple, delicious food. We left with about four pounds of leftovers. This was the most expensive item on the menu, but we could have ordered a single portion for $19.95 with a $1 extra plate, and still not finished it. If we hadn't had paella on our minds, we might have tried the lobster cakes or the pork and clams. It is not possible to photograph your food in an uncrowded restaurant without drawing glances. As I snapped, the waitress came over to ask if everything was alright.
