The lunch scene at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) is a very lively one. This was my third time there today. And I wasn’t disappointed! The food is fresh and freshly-made-to-order in the huge cafeteria housed within the DIA itself. The Salad-Bar is spectacular, and the Soup-and-Bread Station is very aromatic, but today, I decided to stop at the Grill and ordered a Buffalo-Chicken Wrap and made a stop at the salad bar to get a few choice items.
The wrap came in a spinach-flavored tortilla with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and a ranch and hot-sauce dressing. It was such a large one, and cut into half, I polished off one-half of it, but knowing that I couldn’t finish the second-half, I decided to scoop out only the filling and finished that in no time.
My salad was awesome. I selected those things from the bar that I normally don’t get to eat too often: artichoke hearts, black olives, and red beets.
My friend got a grilled salmon that came on a bed of wilted spinach, a medley of blanched string-beans, and a side of mac-and-cheese.
Mmmmm! This picture below of the artichoke hearts is nothing short of a work of art, don’t you think?
Oh, and if you wish to check out the DIA, click here. And stop by for lunch, if you can. I highly recommend it!
