New (to Me) at CPK

Although we did a take-out order from CPK a few months ago, it's been a long while since I've dined in.  On the menu were two new-to-me items which I tried:

Braised Short Rib Ragu

The Braised Short Rib Ragu included pappardelle pasta, which is one of my favorite types of pastas.  I added on mushrooms for a bit more umami.  The short rib was so tender, but the sauce itself was a bit underseasoned.  The pasta was perfectly cooked! 

Mini Butter Cake Flight

I originally was going to get Butter Cake until I saw they were offering a Mini Butter Cake Flight.  There are four options to choose from: Dark Chocolate & Brownie Crumble, Fresh Strawberries in Puree, Smoked Bacon & Maple, and Classic.  The flight comes with ice cream and whipped cream.    

We opted for the non-classic flavors.  My fave was the Dark Chocolate & Brownie, primarily because I love the CPK Brownie (available on the kids menu).  It's so rich and fudgy!
