Pasjoli - Santa Monica

Not that I’m venturing over there - as my biggest wonder right now is if I can go to the local Farmers Market this weekend to re-up on greens - but I wonder if the Fishing w/Dynamite Whole Key Lime Pie offer is kaput.

That was last weekend for Pi/Pie Day 3/14.

Thank you @attran99. The days are blurring into one big Covid-19 quarantine. When they offered it on IG I tried to follow instructions it read ”we’ll contact you shortly about your order” or some such thing. No contact.

Saturday night I enjoyed a delicious short rib with garlicky pureed potatoes from Pasjoli take-out. It comes with two fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and instructions for cooking the show ribs (which are in a sealed pouch with mushrooms, gravy, and greens) and the potatoes (in a plastic container). The menu is changing daily as ingredients come and go (the crab cake sandwich and the Bordier butter with baguette are finis while Friday’s cassoulet became Saturday’s duck and pork sausage sandwich) but pick-up was easy as the two meters right in front have been “dedicated” for Pasjoli pick-ups. I was also told while there that Dialogue is now offering packaged three course meals to go.

Best french dip I’ve ever had while inside of a car with hot “au jus” balanced on my lap. Delicious.

And here I thought you were going to dive into the cheesecake while in your car, too.

basque cheesecake #covid15
chutoro for scale

Burnt and caramelized on top but soft, airy and almost custardy in the center. Pretty damn good.

Recipe for anybody who wants to try it at home @TheCookie, @Bookwich, @foodshutterbug

How does it compare with Margarita Manzke’s (decidedly gooey-ier looking) Basque cheesecake at Republique (pictured below)?

p.s. Effin’ delicious.

Is the republique basque cheesecake a dinner or daytime item and is it regularly offered?

Not sure. I was there earlier this week and there it was, sitting in the display case, imploring me to try it. Impulse buy.

The one at Pasjioli looks a lot more like the one I had in San Seb at La Vina.

i’ll have to try margarita’s version and get back to you. odd it doesn’t look like the slice @TheCookie got, maybe hers was still chilled? either way it looks delicious.

i’m also curious why mine didn’t turn out all runny and gooey like the one in the video, even after letting mine rest for about an hour. i’ll have to do some more research aka eating cheesecake. @attran99 how did yours turn out?

Hey! Mine didn’t get runny either. It had more of a lite cheesecake consistency.

Hi @hungryhungryhippos - It was daytime both times I had it.
