Food Review: Maria’s Italian Kitchen

November 19, 2010 by kim 7 Comments

My DB swears that he took me to this place before, but this was my first time eating here. The place is small and cute, perfect for a date. They have an outside patio area along with booths and tables on the inside.

They give you focaccia bread as an appetizer. Yum!

DB’s dish: whole wheat penne pasta with spicy marinara.

Mine: side caesar salad.

The place is a little overpriced and the food was okay. I tried a bite of my DB’s pasta and wasn’t very impressed. The salad was pretty standard and the service was no bueno. Our waitress acted like a “know it all” and didn’t really want to listen to us. Oh well, it happens sometimes. On the plus side, the focaccia bread is great and never ending!

Food Review: Red’s BBQ & Grillery

My mom’s plate: The lunch tri-tip with a side salad instead of getting two regular sides.

Mine: Lunch portion bbq chopped chicken salad with fried onion strings and extra tomatoes.

I took my momma out to lunch for her birthday a couple of weeks ago, and she chose a local BBQ joint that’s quite known for its rolls. Red’s has always been a family favorite and I remember doing fundraisers here back in high school for my volleyball team.
I almost always order the same thing every time when I come.. the BBQ chopped chicken salad. At lunch, they have a lunch-sized portion which is perfect for me. Red’s actually has a ton of special offers throughout the week to keep you coming back. They have lunch specials, dinner specials (like all you can eat ribs on monday for only 12 bucks!), and surprise free dessert days over the week.
The rolls that they give you are amazing! We always make sure to keep them coming. They also have a wonderful spicy BBQ sauce that you can’t find anywhere on the menu, so make sure to ask for it to accompany your meat! Don’t forget to try the specialty lemonades– with strawberry lemonade being my favorite.

Food Review: Buenos Aires Grill

November 3, 2010 by kim 5 Comments

I’m grateful for my DB for a lot of things… for his sense of humor, his hard work, his honesty and commitment, but I’d have to say one of the most important things is for introducing me to a heavenly parsley sauce called chimichurri. Dear Lord, that stuff is amazing. Now, whenever I go to an Argentine restaurant, I make sure to ask for chimichurri every ten minutes. True story.

Buenos Aires Grill is one of my favorite spots to go because of the laid back environment and authentic Argentine food. The french bread that they give you is always served warm and toasty. And the chimichurri? To die for.

Come to think of it, chimichurri is kind of a funny word. My DB and his cousins always make fun of me for saying it. Apparently, I don’t say it right.. the way Argentines say it. Chim-ee-churr-ee. I’ll work on it.

Mine: Vegetariano Sandwich ($5.99) -Grilled marinated egg plant, roasted red peppers, fresh avocado, mixed spring lettuce, tomato, onions, provolone & mayonnaise. (Except I got it with no mayo)
IMG_0849

DB’s: Chicken Milanesa Sandwich ($5.99) – Thinly Breaded Chicken Breast Sandwich with lettuce, tomato & mayonnaise.

My favorite dinner item would have to be the Alfredo Pasta with Salmon. They only have two locations (one in Northridge and the other in Woodland Hills), but don’t let that stop you from making a trip there!
