Beeeeeeeeer

Hey ladies & gents. I'm such in a food coma right now. I thought, "Well since I'm too full to move around, I guess I can blog!"

Good thing I'm taking the time to blog because I'm way behind. So many other places I've been to that I need to share with you guys.

About a week ago, me and Misty watched "The Fourth Kind". For some reason, that movie title made me think of "Taco Bell". The reason for that is because "Taco Bell" came up with "The Fourth Meal". You know, the late night meal in between dinner and breakfast? Anyway, we didn't eat at "Taco Bell". We actually ate at "J.T. Schmid's Restaurant & Brewery" located in Tustin, CA.

Samples of their homemade beer on tap.

Misty's order. "Monte Cristo" Sandwich (Ham, turkey, bacon, swiss cheese with mayonaise and mustard. Grilled and served on egg bread.)

My order. "Mac N' Beer" (Cheese Grilled chicken, diced tomatoes, bacon, radiatori pasta in a creamy ale cheese sauce. Topped with panko, parmesan & cheddar cheese).

The food, the beer & the service...were all mediocre. I have other breweries that I prefer over J.T. such as BJ's.

Sweeeeeet!

Hey guys. Long time no blog! Hahaha. Anyway, how often do I blog about dessert? Hardly! It's rare like Mr. Clean with hair.

This post is special to Foody Food. A post dedicated to my lovely girlfiend Misty who is obsessed with desserts. About a week ago, she stopped by "Cream Pan" in Tustin. They specialize in pastries, croissants, donuts and other bakery goods. They even do lunch items like the Chicken Katsu Sandwich and the Yaki Soba Sandwich. Hands down, the best pastry I've ever had!

Chocolate & Banana Croissant.

Strawberry Croissant. A "Cream Pan" favorite.

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed the sweet side of Foody Food.

Bread & More Bread

Hey people! I've got a nice carbolicious Foody Food post for you today. Last week, me and my girlfriend wanted to eat at one of our usual spots. That spot happens to be "Panera Bread". We're a big fan of their sandwiches and other Foody Food items. The reason why we keep coming back here is because it hasn't let us down.

Misty's Turkey Artichoke Panini

My Frontega Chicken Panini

Panera Bread was delicious as always. Well the bread fest didn't stop there. Misty was craving dessert as usual so we dropped by JJ's Bakery (or Double J Bakery, whatever) to pick up some pastries.

Ok that's enough bread. Bye Bye :)

G.O.A.T.

Hey everyone. Do you know what G.O.A.T. stands for? It's usually used in sports, but it means "Greatest of All Time". Like Michael Jordan & Muhammad Ali. Well yeah I'm naming "Ballpark Pizza Team" the G.O.A.T. for Pizza. It truly is the greatest of all time. You can ask plenty of my other friends who've tried it. I can only show you pictures. If only I can show you the awesome taste of Ballpark pizza. You just have to go there and try it for yourself.

Just look at this epic building of awesomeness.

Their Pepperoni Pizza. This is the G.O.A.T.

Misty's Hawaiian personal pan pizza.

Big thanks to Alex "The Ace Man" for introducing me to this awesome pizzeria. Well, til next time folks. Oh and...

Hey yo Buccaneer Pizza! I'm really happy for you and imma let you finish, but...Ballpark Pizza got the best pizza of all time! Of all time!

"So, it be pizza ye seekin aye? Sure ye come to the right place."

Hey guys. That was the "Buccaneer Pizza" slogan by the way. Yes we were seekin pizza. Yes we did come to the right place because this pizzeria was a delight. Me, Misty and our good friends Tony, Tyler and Mark dropped by this pizzeria located in Santa Ana, good ol OC California. If you're ever in the area. Drop by for some amazing pizza. What seperates Buccs from other pizzerias? They use monstrous toppings. Check for yourself.

"O’hao I’wana Kikkichiki"

(Tender grilled all-white meat chicken breast, tomato sauce, mozzarella, red

onion, bacon, pineapple & tangy

barbeque sauce.)

Me and Tyler called this "Oh how I wanna kick it" cause we couldn't pronounce the name right.

"Cap’n Atkins"

(tomato sauce, mozzarella,

pepperoni, Canadian bacon, bacon bits, sausage & meatballs.)

Basically a "Meat Lovers". This was delicious and filling.

5 of us couldn't finish a Large & a Medium. That's how filling their pizza is, so we ended up taking some to go.

Definitely go here if you want some good quality pizza. I don't recommend eating it cold cause it's not as great as the fresh out of the oven version and I love leftover cold pizza. Til next time peoples. Ciao!

Snack Time

That's right, it's snack time. Need something to hold you over when you're just kicking back at home relaxing? Stop by your local grocery store (preferrably Albertson's & Mother's Market) for these awesome Foody Food Items.

Rusty's Island Chips.

You won't be able to hear anything but crunching when you're munching on these super crunchy chips.

Boulder Canyon Natural Foods Canyon Cut Totally Natural Crinkle Cut Potato Chips.

Wow that was long (that's what she said). Anyway, these are like "Ruffles" just "Totally Natural".

Terra Kettles Chesapeake Bay & Beer Kettle Cooked Potato Chips.

These have a nice flavor and you can really taste the hint of beer.

Sierra Nevada Kellerweis Hefenweizen, Tsingtao Lager Beer, Wild Blue Blueberry Lager.

Try these if you're looking to get away from the norm (Bud Light, Corona).

*BURP*

Excuse me :)

The chips were bought at Mother's Market & 2 out of 3 beers were bought at Albertson's. My roommate bought the Tsingtao and I haven't asked where he got it from yet. Well, til next time people. Enjoy!

Factory of Cheesecake

Hey Foody Fooders! Welcome back to the good ol' blogstravaganza. Haven't blogged for a few days now. What have I been eating that I wouldn't put up on "Foody Food"!? Well I don't know, nothing really interesting that's worth putting up here. Frozen meals, chips, hot dogs, cereal. They're all good food don't get me wrong, but you've seen it before.

Anyway, yesterday was a special day for me and my girlfriend. Oct. 22nd marks the day when me and Misty first started dating back in 2005. We wanted to go to a nice restaurant in a nice area to celebrate. "The Cheesecake Factory" in Anaheim by Disneyland was our choice of the night.

Misty's "Cajun Jambalaya Pasta"

My "Cajun Chicken Littles"

"Strawberry Creamsicle" (21+ only)

Ahhhh, that was good. Guess me and Misty were feeling a little Cajun that day. It's been awhile since I've been there. I usually eat at "The Cheesecake Factory" with my mom because it's her favorite restaurant. Well til next time folks. Gotta catch some "Z's".  Happy Tando & Misty Day! I love you sweetheart :)

Sushi Go Round

Hello friends! Welcome back. As you can see from my blog post title, we ate at a revolving sushi bar. Me and my girlfriend Misty went to "Kura Sushi" in Costa Mesa, Saturday afternoon. We were both craving sushi since we haven't had it in awhile and haven't been to a revolving sushi bar before so "Kura Sushi" sounded like a great idea.

"Godzilla Roll" (Fried California Roll)

 

"California Roll"

Spicy Scallop on "California Roll"

Umm...I totally forgot what this was. I know it had Tuna though.

"Spicy Shrimp Roll"

Salmon

Spicy Cajun Salmon

"Fire Roll" (Spicy Tuna Roll w/ Tuna)

"Kura Roll" (Spicy Tuna Roll w/ Salmon)

Let me start off by saying that we got there at the wrong time. Most of the stuff we wanted to try was already taken off the revolving belt. So we had to try some of the other things to atleast get some food in our stomachs. One of our servers asked what we'd like to drink but never actually came back to give us our drinks. We ended up asking another guy who actually brought our drinks right away. As soon as we were full, the items that we wanted to try were finally made and put onto the belt. Lame. I've had better sushi with better service anyway. Next time.

DIY AYCE Korean BBQ

Hey everyone! That's right, "Do-it-yourself, All-you-can-Eat" Korean BBQ. As in, there are grills built in to your table and you cook the food yourself. Do I really have to explain? Well, this placed was introduced to me by my good friend Tyler. It's called "Seoul Garden BBQ Buffet" and it's located in Tustin. Me and my good friends Tony and Tyler met up here yesterday for some food coma inducing madness.

Well where should I start? I'll say the staff members were super friendly like Tyler said they were. A few of them greeted us as soon as we stepped through the door. That's typical asian service though. As soon our waitress showed us to our table, we immediately got up to get our food. Sat back down, threw some meat on the grills and waited for it to turn into "Foody Food". Check it out.

 

Fried Rice, Gyoza & Sweet Chili Wings

BBQ Beef, Teriyaki Chicken, Spicy Chicken & Spicy Pork

Another plate of assorted marinated meats.

Ohhh myyy godddd. After all this, we were stuffed! It's because if you take food and you don't end up eating it, you get charged for it. So we made sure we ate every last bit of food that we got. Food coma hit us big time. Oh, me and Tony had some soft serve ice cream after too making us even more full. I heard there are better restaurants like this out there. You'll see them on "Foody Food" soon. Til next time!
