Max's Wine Dive

I had a girls' night scheduled with my peeps Tammy and Jennifer for this evening. The plan was to head to Little Big's on Montrose, but Jennifer was sick. We promised her that we would wait to try LB's until she could join us. Since Tammy had a babysitter (i.e. baby daddy), we decided to try Beaver's. Alas, they were closed, leaving me post workout and ready to gnaw off my frickin' arm. Think quick - - - close to Beaver's. We settled on Max's Wine Dive on Washington, keeping our fingers crossed on the way since it is ALWAYS crazy packed. I didn't want to wait. Max's on a Monday is good. In fact, it's terrific.
We asked the waitress about her favorites and she mentioned the two items that Tammy and were actually considering: the Kobe burger (8oz. Yama Farms Texas Kobe beef burger with Belletoielle triple cream brie, in-house pickled jalapenos, Texas tomato and organic bib lettuce on Kraftsmen brioche bun, served with Max's famous frites) and the egg sandwich (three pan fried eggs, drizzled with truffle oil and Maldon sea salt, topped with three slabs of applewood smoked bacon and Veldhuizen gruyere, organic bibb lettuce, hot house tomato, and garlic black truffle aioli - all sandwiched between two pieces of artisan sourdough bread and served with hand-cut chips).
We settled down with a bottle of red (Sincerely? I think...) after we ordered. We caught up on all of the GP news (we used to work together). When the food came, there was silence. It was absolutely heavenly. Both sandwiches were just incredible, but I think the egg sandwich was just from heaven. The bonus with it were the chips: light, truffled, and thinner than original Lay's wjith a dusting of parmesan cheese.
Happiness abounded with this food. I can't wait to try the famous mac and cheese.
