Cafe Lulu

Asian slaw + chips & blue cheese FTW

I’ve been to Cafe Lulu in Bay View a few times, and one thing remains constant: The Asian slaw is always a winner. Like, the highlight of the meal. How often does that happen where the side dish steals the show? Oh wait, it happens in yet another way at Lulu: House-made potato chips with blue cheese sauce for dipping. Gimme gimme! 

But I will tell you right now: Don’t gimme that pita with chicken in Indian spices. Its defining feature is a pile of onions, and nobody wants that — especially not with the taste lingering 24 hours and two thorough teeth-brushings later. That’s some potent stuff! So proceed with caution. I know people love Lulu for more than just the slaw and chips — but I'm still on the hunt for a go-to entree. 

I've heard yummy things about the falafel and Smokehouse Chicken Sandwich, and the good news is that with any sandwich you can get a split-side of both the slaw and the chips. So despite mouthfuls of onions, I will continue my search for the perfect entree at Cafe Lulu — and until I find it, I will happily fill up on scrumptious sides.
