OT: All things Food

[Choralone]

I haven't had a bowl of cereal in decades. Milk kicks my ass ever since I hit 50, though I'll still eat cheese, well, because F U milk. I'm in my early 50's

I use Ripple unsweetened plant-based "milk" in my cereal and haven't looked back.

I almost went there the other day, so I'll give it a shot soon. I go to Hafez Cafe in that same shopping center almost once a week, which serves up some really good Persian food.

I can't believe that center is not only still standing, but it looks exactly the same way it did in the 90's, when even then it was kind of dumpy with all the new ones built in the area. My mom used to be obsessed with the Italian Place that was in there in the 90's (it was called 20/20), we would eat there at least once a week.

My girlfriend in HS was Arab and she would take me to a couple of the places in there, not sure if it's the same places anymore, but I know they had a few Middle Eastern options, including a market.

Looks amazing. I do bison now a lot more than steak and ground beef, just night and day better to me. I smoke a good amount of my meals now, I feel like I have finally mastered ribs and brisket after a long-ass time of trial and error. I am actually deciding now if I want to smoke venison or brisket for Thursday night football.

Cool thread, btw.

I'm an OC guy
Terra Mia in Laguna Hills makes a good pie. NY style.
Lunitas Pizza in San Juan is a good sheet pan style. Detroit maybe. Anyway, high quality and not inexpensive.

Try the pizza at Costellos in MV. Surprisingly good. Would be quality at a pizza place- the fact the place is a bar makes it all the tastier...

Ha, I looked up a picture of this place and my first thought was, what was the name of the Mexican joint that was there forever? I worked at the Kaleidoscope in high school and I remember stupid shit (for south OC) would always go down on that end of that center. Can't remember if it was that place, or was there some other bar in there too?

It's so weird as I become an old fart and sound like my parents describing what was in centers 25 years ago, but to me that will always be the Sport Chalet center. Although I'm sure the Target has been there forever now.

Ha, we'll go to Costello's to watch a 80's cover band every now and then. Usually we'll eat at Santoras off Marguerite pkwy and Avery, wings n pizza and beverages, not amazing, not horrible.

Yup, it was a Mexican joint at some point. Were you a MV or Capo kid? I grew up in San Clemente in the 70's and 80's
