LET'S NOT FORGET THE SAN JOSE BOLD KNIGHT!!
Posted on October 5, 2011 with 0 comments
So Art and me went to San Jose last night to do some PR with Mike Lopez owner of the Legendary “Bold Knight” Restaurant. We had recently performed there for the San Jose High Alumni Association Benefit but we didn’t get a chance to eat because we had another gig in the evening that night.
Before we met up with Mike we wanted to get a bite to eat and its been sooooo long since we’ve eaten at the Bold Knight so we said why not? We were greeted by a very gracious Headwaiter named Mike to take our order. As I was doing a phone interview with JJ Amaya from KOHL 89.3 radio about our upcoming show at Swiss Park, low and behold they bring us what Bold Knight is ever so FAMOUS and remembered for, their “AWESOME FONDUE!!!”
I’m not exaggerating when I say this, they are very well known for their fondue. For those of you who have lived in San Jose for a long time, I know you will probably agree with me, right????? We knew that the Bold Knight had moved from its original location on Monterey to the new one on 1st street so, we were kind of skeptical and wondered if the food and fondue would still have that mouth watering flavor and taste.
As we cut up our pieces of bread, placed them on the plate, took our forks and dipped the bread into the fondue, we closed our eyes and imagined us in the old restaurant. Remember how dark and dim the lights were? We both say, “you ready?” We wait for that moment, the moment of warmth on our tongues and all those comfort foody flavors in the fondue. That gooey cheese that we have missed for all these years!!!
All we have to say is YUMMMMM!!!
It still has the same flavor. So delish and so yummy and so, so good!!!
Now lets get to the food. Art ordered the New York Steak, well done and I ordered the Chicken Picatta. Oh let me just say, both orders were to die for!!! So good and very filling. After dinner we had a couple of drinks and were ready to meet up with Mike but boy were we full.
The place looks great and you feel very welcome there. It’s not as dark and dim like the old Bold Knight but you’re sure to feel comfy and cozy with a new modern look to it. Art and I were pleased with our service and we are very happy to hear that our friend Mike is the Head Honcho over there. It turned out to be a good night, we even ran into Bill Kliedon from the San Jose High Alumni Association to boot.
If you haven’t been or had the chance to go to the “New” Bold Knight, you really need to. It’s a big piece of San Jose History and of course a great place to eat. Even if they have moved from their original location, the food and the service still remain the same, EXCELLENT!!! Oh yes, lets not forget the FONDUE!!!
Thank you Mike Lopez for your hospitality and for a great night at your establishment. 5 thumbs up to you Bold Knight! You are a great place to relax, eat, drink and enjoy a wonderful evening.
