Foodie's top 2 what-to-avoid this week

Pizza at Red Savoy Pizza, several Twin Cities locations

Why? The pizzas were so overloaded with cheese that that was pretty much all you could taste. And once the pizza was no longer steaming hot, it started to get chewy real fast. The sauce (whatever little was there) was also pretty average and the prices were on the steep side when compared to other takeaways like Papa Johns or Sbarro's.

Mango Sikarni at Namaste Cafe, Minneapolis Uptown
Why? The desserts at this otherwise lovely restaurant have a lot of room for improvement. The Mango Sikarni is sour and tastes very similar to mango yogurt (Sikarni is traditionally a delicate and rather complicated preparation) and just adding cashews and raisins on top (like it was at Namaste Cafe) does not necessarily make it any richer.

Foodie's top 2 what-to-avoid this week

1. Bambú Signature Stir-Fry at Bambu, Maplewood
Why? Unless you really (and I can't stress the "really" enough) love broccoli, steer away from this stir-fry which the menu calls their "most popular dish - Stir fried fresh broccoli, mushrooms, peapods, carrots, water chestnuts, baby corn, and your choice of protein in our special house brown sauce." In reality, the dish consists of 85% broccoli and a sparing sprinkling of  everything else.

2. Spicy Penne at Pazzaluna, Saint Paul
Why? Extremely low on salt, very high on garlic to the point that garlic is pretty much the only dominant flavor.
