Navy Bean – Patys Restaurant
October 19, 2012 by The Soup Critic
Restaurant: Patys Restaurant
Location: Toluca Lake, CA
Price: Free (small bowl with purchase of entrée)
I’m back! Took a little time off but it’s time to jump back on the horse and get this soup train running! (…too dramatic?) This time I stopped by Patys Restaurant in Toluca Lake. It’s kinda like Denny’s, but not a chain and a bit less dingy.
This time I tried the Navy Bean soup. Apparently it’s an American classic like Chicken Soup, but I’ve never heard of it.
It’s basically a vegetable soup with some beans and beef chunks. Very simple yet very hearty. The beef was cut a bit small but was very tender and added a lot of flavor to the already thick and tasty broth. Overall the soup had a lot of potential. The problem is, and this happens way more times that one would expect, the soup wasn’t served nearly hot enough. I can’t tell you how many times restaurants screw that up! And in my book, that’s unacceptable. I don’t go to restaurants to eat what tastes like left-overs that haven’t been heated properly. I can’t cook, so I do that at home…
I might have to come back to this place and give it another shot. Sad to see so much potential wasted!
