Playing with our food again: Eating yak burgers at Dobhan

This is what she ate

This is what he ate

As before, they had other things to discuss besides food; but first she had to take out her camera and document what they ate at Dobhan. It was her idea to eat at Dobhan. Ever since she'd read about the restaurant's yak burgers in the Eastside News, she'd been eager to taste one. Once she told him about yak burgers, he was eager to try one, too.

She ordered her yak burger plain. He opted for all the extras: bacon, avocado, and queso fresco. The yak burgers were terrific: lean, moist, and delicious. Definitely better than the haggis and black pudding he's still eager to have her try.

The yak meat served at Dohan comes from purebred Tibetan black yaks raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This no doubt explains the goofy company name: Green Bay Yakkers.

Before the yak burgers arrived, they shared a vegetarian salad. Very tasty and very large.

She opted to photograph just a section of the salad.

Their server was saucy and knowledgeable and certainly played an important role in making their dining experience enjoyable. It was almost closing time when they finished their meal, so their server didn't have time to offer them dessert. Even if she had, however, they would have declined. He'd already decided they'd end the evening with Foxy Veronica's Peach Pies -- but that's a story he plans to write, so you'll have to wait until he finishes his article.


What's our saucy server writing on that pad of paper? Maybe it's the price for our dinner ($28.38 with tax). Maybe it's some other kind of information. Maybe she's just posing for the camera. We'll never tell.
