APPETIZERS
& SALADS
Fallen Chocolate Cake
A House specialty! An
individual deep chocolate cake with a dark molten chocolate interior.
Divinely decadent but not really an appetizer or salad by any
reasonable definition. So what? is our attitude...$5.95
Bagna Calda
One of Lau-Jos's all-time
favorites. Whole garlic cloves simmered in savory oil until they're
mild, butter-soft and sweet. Scoop 'em up and spread 'em on our
crusty bread. Or yours, if you brought some...$8.12
Lentil Salad a la My
Own Two Hands
Our signature dish!
Dotty's famous lentil-and-vegetable relish, lightly dressed. Others
have tried to duplicate it, but you know what? It just wasn't as
good, I'm not sure why...$3.78
SOUPS
Purée
Crécy (Cream of Carrot)
One of the single most
requested dishes in our history! A bowl of rich carrot soup laced
with onion, cream, and curry, served on a bed of smooth porcelain
(which we call a "plate")...$5.40
Vietnamese Crab and Asparagus
The last time we took
this off the menu, somebody set fire to a bag of dog poop and
attached it to a brick and threw it through our living room window!
Coincidence? We think not!...$6.25
Georgia Peanut
"Kick it up a
nosh" with this slightly spicy, fragrant peanut soup. We know
what you're thinking: "Sure, I like peanuts in other, more
traditional ways, but as a SOUP?" Just trust us - that's NOT an
unusual attitude!...$3.97
Thai Chicken &
Cellophane Noodle
A kind of soup. Possibly
our top seller. Not sure. We really should try keeping track. ...$3.94
ENTREES
Pepper-Crusted
Maple-Glazed Salmon
Our trademark recipe!
(Trademarked recipe does not belong to us.) A center-cut salmon
filet, marinated in maple and soy and flash-baked under a
cracked-pepper crust. Served with our Lemon Dill Rice...$8.33
Baked Macaroni & Cheese
Did we forget to mention
in the above description that our Lemon Dill Rice is also justly
famous? Just making sure. Anyway, this Macaroni & Cheese dish has
just a touch of heat for that extra "hotness."...$6.45
Very Veggie Very
Sloppy Joes
A uniquity! Comfort Food
meets Textured Vegetable Protein, only different! It's hard to describe!...$7.78
DESSERTS
(see also: Appetizers & Salads)
Death By Piña
Colada Sorbet
If dessert got any more
refreshing than this, it'd be like drinking Freon!...$3.70
Fresh Blueberry Sorbet
Freon, move over!...$14.70
Gooey Chocolate Peanut
Butter Brownie Cake
Three brownie layers
divided by peanut butter and ganache. It may kill you, but it's the
ONLY way to go...choking to death on a piece of this baby!...$6.66
Bookends Café
Caramel Bars
Rich squares of
shortbread topped with caramel and chocolate chips, only GOOD!...$4.53
Almond Poppy Seed Ice Cream
A traditional
almond-and-poppy seed ice cream, updated for the new millennium with
extra almond, poppy seeds, and ice cream! ...$3.12
Knock You Nakeds
Two brownie layers
sandwiching caramel and chocolate. Aren't you pissed that you didn't
think of doing that yourself? Bwa-ha-ha. ...$4.01
Malted Milk Black &
White Pound Cake
Our resident homosexual
says, "Simply scrumptious!"...$5.29
Milk Chocolate
Crème Brûlée with Orange Buttermilk Sorbet
Our signature trademark
favorite! Rich milk chocolate custard cream with a thin caramel
crust, accompanied by a light, sweet, tangy orange sorbet. Lau sez,
"It's to die for...if you try to take any of mine!"...$7.47
