"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!

Buffalos Have Wings

Yes, at "Buffalo Wild Wings" they do. They have tons of wings with different flavors to choose from ranging from "Mild" to "Blazin". Me and my friend Tony were craving wings and I happened to see this "Buffalo Wild Wings" location in Lake Forest the day before while I was driving in that area. They just opened too so everything was brand new. We went at around noon and the place was suprisingly busy. Everyone had a wing craving that day I guess. Anyway our server was super friendly and courteous. Hope we get her again next time. Well, we have to bring more of our buddies here. Looks like this could be a usual spot.

The One and Only, Newcastle.


"Caribbean Jerk", these were ok.


"Hot BBQ". Sweet, Tangy with a little kick.


"Hot". Original style buffalo wings. You can't beat that.


"Mango Habanero" The flavor was amazing, but it was just too hot! Don't think we're going to order any flavors hotter than this one.




$16.99 for 24 Wings is what me and Tony split. Good amount of wings for two hungry guys. Well, I'm off to work. Til next time!

No more Mexican food.

Seriously taking a break from Mexican food. I've had nothing but Mexican food for the past two weeks now. Well, my Mom just recently got a job and wanted to come visit me to celebrate. What a bad son I am, making my Mom come down to my area instead of me visiting her in Fontana. Well the thing is, she wanted to have lunch in OC cause of all the great Mexican restaurants I've told her about. So really it wasn't me who chose to eat Mexican food. Luckily for me, there was still one more Mexican restaurant I had to try down on 19th St. The fam and I ate at "Taco Mesa". It's supposably a healthier type of Mexican food.







Mom's Carne Asada Special Plate


Uncle Gino's Carne Asada Tacos


Noah's (my brother) Two Chicken Enchilada Mesa Combo Plate


My "Burrito De Langosta" (Lobster Burrito). So delicious.




This place was good, but a bit on the expensive side. I guess since they're "Healthier". No more Mexican food for awhile. I've just had too much. My girlfriend also agrees. Plus I got to have more variety on "Foody Food". Bye everyone and bye Mexican food (for now)!

Mexican food again???

Yeah yeah I know, but my girlfriend wanted to go here so bad because they have their very own "California Burrito" like Albatros does. Plus, it was one of those mexican food places I had to try on 19th St. in Costa Mesa. Anyway, cash only applies here so leave that plastic in your wallet! Their intercom is broken or something because we had a hard time understanding the guy. Well, the guy at the window was a douche. I don't know if all of Alejandro's staff is like this, but he was uncalled for. The food was good though! :)


Misty's "California Burrito"



 
My order. Carne Asada Tacos w/ Guacamole


Taquitos w/ Cheese & Guacamole.




Alright alright, I think I'm over mexican food, plus we won't come back to Alejandro's for awhile cause of that rude guy. Only time will tell. Hasta luego!

Bowling & Breakfast

Forgot to put this one up. Sunday, October 4th me and a few of my buddies went bowling late at night. It's a usual Sunday thing where we'd go bowling, and then eat at Denny's. No picture of the Denny's sign, but I'm pretty sure you know what it looks like. Sorry for the quality of the pictures, these were taken w/ my phone.



Tony's "Super Bird" sandwich.


Mark's "Meatlover's Scramble"


Tyler's Crispy Chicken Sandwich.


My Grilled Chicken Deluxe Salad w/ Honey Mustard Dressing & Garlic Bread.
