Pieology

Comments (2) | Sunday, May 25, 2014

There has been some hype surrounding the Pieology chain, and my only regret is not jumping on that bandwagon sooner. I've always been somewhat picky when it comes to pizza, especially when it concerns the crust. Deep dish pizza has always been near and dear to my heart, so much so that I actually scoff at thin crust pizzas. Well, a little.

So you can imagine my reluctance when we went to Pieology a few months ago (yes, I said months). However, having control over what goes on my pizza with the endless possibilities of topping combinations won me over. This is what I came up with for my first time, and  please allow me to toot my own horn, because it was GOOD. (toot, toot!)



This pie had herb butter sauce, garlic, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, mushrooms, sausage, mozzarella and ricotta cheeses. It was a fantastic blending of flavors. Trust me.

California Noodle and Grill

Comments (0) | Saturday, October 12, 2013

A sudden hunger attack prompted a Vietnamese food craving tonight, so Boogs came to my rescue. He went to California Noodle and Grill, located in the Chino Spectrum shopping plaza. 


All I really wanted was a pork banh mi sandwich, but he upped the ante by also bringing me cha gio, Vietnamese fried egg rolls. 

The banh mi was delicious, stuffed with charbroiled, marinated pork and filled with julienned carrots and cucumbers. It was enough to satisfy any hunger for sure, and for $3.95 a sandwich, it was definitely worth every penny. The egg rolls were still crispy when they got home, and were quite savory when dipped in the sweet sauce that accompanied them. 




Overall, a satisfying late dinner/early midnight snack.

Avocado House, Chino

Comments (0) | Saturday, April 14, 2012

The Avocado House is can be considered a hidden gem in the city of Chino. Although it is located on one of the city's busiest streets, it is easy to pass right by it unnoticed. They are also not open for dinner; just breakfast and lunch.

However, the first time I went there was for dinner...Thanksgiving dinner, that is. It was outstanding; the only disappointment was the fact that I forgot my camera. Bad food blogger.

Boogs and I came here for lunch on a whim, and this time, I remembered to snap some photos of the food.

 The Craving: beef tri-tip with cream cheese, grilled onions and peppers, and monterey jack cheese on sourdough bread, and served with a side of fresh fruit. This was Boogs's selection; it was delish. Who knew that cream cheese and beef could go together so well?

 Thanksgiving: sliced turkey, cream cheese, lettuce and mayonnaise on cranberry walnut bread. Served with a side of fresh fruit, a ginger snap cookie and lemon bar. This sandwich is ah-mazing! It really does taste like Thanksgiving on a sandwich.

Bread Pudding: Served warm and topped with whipped cream. We both liked it, because there weren't any raisins, but it kind of felt anticlimactic.
