Blue Bistro

Our last stop for Carroll County Restaurant Week was a little place tucked into a shopping center off of Westminster's Main Street, The Blue Bistro and Catering. The bistro is primarily a deli but also hosts "Bistro Night" on Fridays and Saturdays in which their executive chef prepares a fancier menu and drinks are BYOB. We're definitely looking forward to partaking in one of those, but we really enjoyed our experience with their deli!

I chose the Grilled Blue Cow, a roast beef sandwich on grilled rye bread topped with melted cheddar, caramelized onions and house made blue cheese dressing. You also had your choice of sides so I picked the broccoli salad. Justin had the California Chicken Salad Sandwich, chicken salad on white bread, lettuce, tomato, sprouts, avocado, provolone cheese, and Thousand Island dressing. He picked fresh fruit for his side.

These sandwiches were really, really good. They were stuffed to the brim with fresh ingredients and lots of flavor, and the sides were the perfect complement to the sandwiches.

Our lunches also came with dessert. I chose this incredibly delicious Frozen Peanut Butter Mousse Cookie Sandwich and Justin had the homemade chocolate chip cookies.

If you're in town and looking for a quick, flavorful lunch I highly recommend stopping here. Also, keep a look out for their executive chef on a recently aired episode of Cutthroat Kitchen on Food Network!
