B. K. Bakery

It's very convenient to buy baked products at the grocery store while shopping for food. But do they really bake everything on site. B. K. Bakery in Jefferson City is a cafe and artisian bakery. I was lucky enough to log onto Facebook on Friday just in time to call in for some free cupcakes.
They gave away a dozen of the prettiest and yummiest cupcakes I've every seen. I shared with some co-workers and they agreed. Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting was my favorite. Raspberry icing chocolate cake was really good. If you like coffee the mocha frosted chocolate was
wonderful. I've had lunch there and the quiche is good also. They have all the coffee drinks you could want and iced tea. Wedding cakes, cheesecakes and seasonal pies are available also. Stop by and treat yourself to some goodies.

Hot Millions

I know nothing about the food from India so when this Bistro opened in Jefferson City I was ready to give it a try. It helped that they offered a buffet for lunch. It also helped that I went with some friends who knew more about the food than me. I tried every dish they had and liked most of them. My favorite was a cabbage dish and even though I don't like peas they were good also.
It also had some cilantro in it which is one of my favorite herbs. There was a marinated chicken leg roasted in a clay oven that was very tender and spicy. The leavened bread was good for soaking the wonderful sauces that most dishes were cooked in. The garbanzo beans dish had a nice ginger flavor. There were two kinds of rice pudding that were chilled and flavorful. Hope to go back again some time and try some more dishes.
