calafia cafe

dinner with 3 of the 4 in our wolf pack.  there were other items on the menu that were tempting but we decided to order a few pizza's and share.  i'm so happy we did so that i could try them all cause they sounded too yummy to pick just one.  after trying them all and enjoying them all here are my recommendations:  the guanciale was perfect and well seasoned.  wolfgang's while wonderful i think sharing is the best idea or even order as an appetizer.  it's so packed full of flavor that it may be too rich to eat on your own.  the BLT was light and tasty but i wish it had a little more sauce.  overall i say nicely done calafia cafe!!

guanciale burrata pizza
zoe's cured pork cheek seasoned with
rosemary and garlic, sliced super thin and served
with nutty and creamy burrata cheese,
tomato sauce, fresh oregano

wolfgang’s pizza

mozzarella & goat cheese

BLT pizza
this is not on their standard menu, it was a special.

french soul food

finally stoped in and check out what brenda's
was all about and i'm grateful i did!
 
i loved everything about my meal.  i ordered what they call BFC (brenda's fried chicken) which consists of 3 pieces of fried chicken (paired with hot pepper jelly), collard greens and a biscuit.  if you follow this blog i'm sure by now you've noticed i love me some fried chicken so naturally looking at a menu half filled seafood this was immediately where my eyes fixed in.  this chicken was delightful and the pepper jelly made me enjoy the chicken even more.  i'm also happy to report that the collard greens were a side i'd eat again.  my previous experience with greens hasn't been bad but it's never left me wanting more.  brenda's decided to drench their greens with bacon and it made all the difference.  what i wasn't expecting was this standard looking biscuit to knock my socks off but it did.  i'm not sure the tlc that went it to making them so special but i approve!!

amato's

thank you to the main asian for introducing me to amato's and their fantastic cheese steak sandwich.  or in other words i'm sorry to the city of san jose because there is about to be a beef shortage.

this picture doesn't do it the sandwich justice so please don't let this picture change your mind about stopping in.  my advice is that going a little out of your way to try one of these bad boys will be well worth the effort!  i will however say that i less than liked their cheese fries, in fact i ended up exchanging these fries for a basket of plain ones.  i'm willing to give the cheese fries another go but this specific basket of fries tasted like metal (someone must have left the cheese in the can too long).

summer snow cone

eating a snow cone in the summer is like drinking hot chocolate in the winter, it's a necessity.

throwback thursday - from head to toe

i've been playing this game on my phone called song pop the past few weeks and it's been reminding me of some sweet songs from the past.  this was not a song from the game but for some reason after playing a round of song pop this jam got stuck in my head.  naturally when a song gets stuck in my head i find myself singing it out loud.  while i was singing at home my roommates said they had no idea what song i was singing.  not sure how they all missed out on this gem but after introducing it to them i feel obligated to share it with my readers just in case you too have missed out.. listen and miss no longer.

quizno's cobb wrap

i'm addicted to these darn wraps from quizno's.  i find myself going to quizno's a few times a week to get one.  it's funny cause i used to not like blue cheese but somehow lately i cannot get enough.  my younger brother will be so proud!

SJ giants

why hasn't anyone told me about the food at the sj giants game?  i feel a little cheated by all my friends who have been to one of these games and never hooked me up with a churro.. shame on you friends!  the ribs were good and i really liked the fries with the gourmet choices of sauces but the churro's were out of this world delicious!!  i can't wait for next season to come around cause i'll be reunited with those delectable delights.
