We hit the Asteroid for a Dining Out for Life dindin. It was our first visit to the new digs in Fremont - vastly different from the original cozy layout in Wallingford. The new space is *huge*! It looks pretty cool but doesn't quite have the personal feel of the old space.
We ordered a bottle of the tried and tested Renato Ratti - yummy as ever! The appetizer of the day was bruschette brushed with 2 dips - the first one was an eggplant concoction, the second had a parsnip base - very different, it had an almost limey tangy aftertaste.
I got the Penne al Pomodoro - the goat cheese was divine - the last time I had such fresh goat cheese was at the Madison farmers' market last october! The penne was al dente, the tomatoes were fresh, all typical of good old Asteroid. Pupp got the pork special with polenta (seemed a little too runny, but tasted good). Obviously, I ate all the asparagus (Yay! for the fresh crop!) and we got a side of absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked fingerling potatoes. I can't wait to cook more of these (the Broadway Market often carries the best fingerlings!)
All in all, the meal made us *happy*! :)
Also, we noticed that they have a fabulous cocktail happy hour that lasts till midnight - a good option the next time we hit a show in Fremont.
