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.

The proxy/firewall on my school computer system is down, so what do I do? I blog. I don’t really have much to say now either except I came across a realization: moving on means leaving some things behind. Because if you take every single thing and person with you, then it’s not really moving on. I might be right, I might be wrong, but that’s the way I feel right now. Another short post, take care guys.

bleh

A lot happened this past week and I actually have a lot of thoughts and stuff I'd like to blog about, but right now, I just don't feel like it, don't really feel like doing much actually. Hm yeah maybe I will later on, but for now, goodbye.

Food Fit for a King

So as all of you valley-dwellers should know, we've been hit with heavy rainfall, an uncommon occurrence. I honestly don't know the last time I saw this much precipitation in the San Fernando Valley. But then, in an instant, the clouds dispersed, the rain ceased, and sunshine once again flooded the skies. Strange weather California has.


After school, my friends and I had time to burn before the basketball game, so we decided to eat at King's Burgers. This joint has been around the valley for a while now, located on Reseda, and I always wanted to try it, but never got to until today. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was there freaking huge menu. They serve everything, from pancakes to sandwiches to salads to even gyros and sushi, and of course, much much more. I am a pretty big fan of gyros, so I ordered their beef gyro, no tomatoes. My friends ordered the King Special, Chicken Teriyaki plate, a Philly Cheesesteak, and a double bacon cheeseburger. The food came out relatively fast, surprising since King's isn't a fast food place [it's more dive-styled]. My gyro was delicious. The pita was perfectly soft and warm, there was a satisfying portion of beef, which was delicious as well. The Tzatziki sauce was great too, enough flavor to make me savor every bite. And the onions offered a nice crunch and texture to the whole sandwich.

Likewise, everybody else was pleased. The King's Special is a burger with a juicy beef patty and a heaping pile of pastrami, and lettuce and tomatoes. The chicken teriyaki plate also came with a generous portion of meat, rice, and veggies [salad included]. The other half of our group was sitting at a table, so I didn't really get to see the Philly or double bacon up close, but from what I saw and heard, they were both pleasing.

Of course the food is the most important part of a restaurant, but what really got me, was the prices. Everything that we got was around $4-5. For a high school student, that's a great deal. So in conclusion, I guess the total ranking I'd give King's is a solid 8/10. It's a great place to eat, so if you haven't already, I suggest you go!
