Then we had ten dollar Parmagianas..

At the Elwood Lounge and there is nothing to do there besides get cheap, tasty Parmas, play pool, drink lots of liquid courage, hang out with your mates and listen to free live music. Hmmm.. doesn't sound so bad now does it?
I can't remember who won pool, although I do recall it being quite an interesting Parma.
For starters, the schnitzels seemed very suspiciously as though they had been the type that are bought by the chef, pre-crumbed and frozen, then simply deep fried to order.. I'm not sure though!
But the Nap sauce was very nice, and reminded me of a tomato concasse that I used to cook with at my first ever restaurant job. It bought back many fond memories of a time when working for peanuts with difficult, annoying and demanding people was actually fun and exciting!
However, as you can see from the photo, the sauce and the cheese don't actually cover the entire Parma. This may be understandably be a bother to most Parma lovers, who would cry foul and whinge about being ripped off. Although I personally didn't mind having a little bit of naked schniter sticking out to have a knife and fork at. The salad and the chips were both quite fresh and crisp too and the fake (possibly!) schnitzel was actually fairly good. All in all, a very decent Parmagiana meal for only ten bucks at a great venue with a relaxed yet funky and vibrant atmosphere. Well worth a visit. ;-)
