Restaurants Lunching around

Chef Eddie Hernandez's latest wacky invention features a flour tortilla filled with full-sized fried chicken livers, avocado sauce, pickled red onions and chopped spinach. As "Taco Nazi" George Trusler said, it's like the Colonnade's perfect fried livers with a Southwestern treatment. I'll be back for more and more this week....
Friday, I lunched with friends at Cafe 640 (formerly Cafe di Sol) in Poncey Highland. I ordered an antipasto plate, a terrific bargain at $12 with eight different ingredients, including three cured meats from Pine Street Market and Sweet Grass Dairy's Camembert.
My friends ordered pepadew peppers stuffed with prosciutto and Gruyere, a turkey burger with Gruyere and a pastrami Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut, remoulade and — yep — more Gruyere.
Incidentally, we ended up at Cafe 640 after heading to the new La Mongerie bistro, featured last week by Thrillist. As it turned out, it was not open despite the Thrillist tip, and, at this writing, it's still not open....

I've only tried Cafe 640 for brunch and can honestly say they have my favorite chicken biscuit dish in town. Still need to try out the lunch and dinner offerings.
The Andy burger at Cafe 640 is one of the best in the city. But stay away from the mussels - the broth tastes like dishwater.
