(Yum. A Chocolate Oblivion Shot. Photo courtesy eatZi’s.) I miss eatZi’s. I miss browsing the aisles, checking out the wine, bread, cheese and chocolates. I like eatZi’s for their delicious, reliable desserts, my favorite take-out lasagne and for grabbing a sandwich pre-road trip. More gourmet boutique than foodie mega-mart, the quaint atmosphere is reflected in tasty, high-quality meals to-go.

The Latin inspired menu features calamari with ali-oli, empanadas, [...]
