Hotpoint Deli Creates One of a Kind Dishes...Brace Yourself!

Restaurant: Hotpoint Deli in Cary, NC

 Dish:  Thanksgiving on a Bun

Critique:  For those who can’t wait for Thanksgiving to arrive once a year…this lovely sandwich will satisfy those Thanksgivingly desires.  Smoked turkey…check! Cranberries…check!  Stuffing…check!  Plus there’s Bacon!  The thick sun-dried tomato bread perfectly accompanied this traditional feast on its trip to your mouth.  The Hotness would have preferred more cranberry relish as there was plenty of turkey piled high for consumption.  Feeling like eating Thanksgiving dinner in one bite? Then Gobble Gobble! Hotpoint Deli will take care of the raging turkey craving inside of you.

Score:  3 Out of 4 Hotties!


Dish:  Catfish Quesadilla

Critique:  Wildly unique, yet tantalizing.  Sweetly didn’t have much hope on this dish being successful…a fish quesadilla?  Yeah baby…it works, tortilla crushed catfish, black beans, rice, and cheese all stuffed inside an overflowing quesadilla.  Even more fantastic is the eclectic sauce covering this Mexican plato- chipotle mixed with house made ranch dressing topped with black bean paste.  We would like to give kudos to the catfish for being moist and flavorful, thank you beans and rice for playing nicely with the fish, and to the cheese that always knows how to please…thank you for bringing harmony to this fun fiesta.  We know it was a challenge to get all the ingredients not to overshadow each other.  Well done! Encore!

Dish:  Garlic Shrimp Burrito

Critique:  As you can see there is no picture of el burrito.  The Hotness was too devastated to snap a picture...many moons ago she had the Garlic Shrimp Burrito at Hotpoint Deli and it was exquisite-humongous shrimp bursting to escape the burrito, savory garlic flavor that packed a punch that one could never forget.  Alas, this impostor of the garlic shrimp burrito had little shrimp with little garlic flavor.  Que Pasa? We don't know, but someone should get to the bottom of it and find the former glorious Garlic Shrimp Burrito ASAP. The Hotness has already hired a private detective to solve this tragedy.

Score: 2 Out of 4 Hotties!
