Funk and Wolfgang Puck

As you may, or may not, know, I’ve been in sort of a funk these days. I can’t really put it into words, it’s just something feels like it’s missing. And I hate to say this, but I think it might be a someONE that’s missing. But, I choose to just go with the flow, see who comes along, and just have fun, I mean it’s second semester already, and I won’t be sticking around for much longer anyways. And honestly, it’s not like i’m SAD, it’s just… I’m just so sluggish and uninterested in everything. Bad bad bad, Jesus help me. Yep, I realized a while ago that I shouldn’t fill these voids with girls, but with God. God > girls.

Most of my posts, I’ve realized, have to do with food or restaurant reviews. And I don’t know if I said it on my other posts or not, but I think I would like to do it as a job haha. Anyways, all of the places I wrote about were new joints that I had never tried before. Well, the one I have for you today is a classic. For all you valley-dwellers, I’m sure you all know where the Northridge Mall is, and if you do, you should know about the other plaza across the street from the movie theater. There is a Rubio’s [great restaurant by the way], Jamba Juice, Starbucks, etc etc. There is also a Gelson’s Market, and within the Gelson’s, there is a Wolfgang Puck To-Go counter. From appearances and the menu, it doesn’t look too promising, but the food is actually really good. I remember when my brother first brought it home, I was pleasantly surprised. They have salads, pizzas, and pastas, but I’ve only tried the Chicken Caesar Sandwich and the Rigatoni Bolognese. The chicken sandwich comes with bread, roasted chicken, pesto, melted cheese, tomato, red onions and some caesar salad. All the ingredients are fresh, the sandwich is made when you order it, but the kicker is the bread. They actually bake it in an open oven, fresh for every sandwich. The bread may not seem like a very significant ingredient, but when it’s fresh baked, it’s crispy on the outside, and light and moist on the inside; perfect.

The rigatoni bolognese was not as impressive. The pasta was a bit under cooked, it was kind of tough and chewy, and the sauce was a little too bitter for my liking. Nothing much else to say.

So overall, I’d say that Wolfgang Puck’s is a pretty sound choice. The only downside is that the prices might be a little too high, pastas, salads and sandwiches are all about $9. If you’re going for the first time, I highly recommend the chicken caesar sandwich! If I hadn’t tried the rigatoni, the score might have been a bit higher, but I give it a 7/10.

Side note: I realized I put more time, effort, and passion into writing these stupid blogs than I put into writing my articles for the school paper. Yup, that’s how much you blogging means to me. I need a life, or a girlfriend.
