Other Restaurants II

I had a post from last week titled "Other Restaurants". Here is a continuation of my eating-out experiences. 

California Pizza Kitchen at Northbrook Court in Northbrook

My friend Irene and I ordered a tasting plate with hummus, feta cheese, Greek salad and pita bread to start

Then, I ordered the same dish that I get every time: the BBQ chopped chicken salad. It always tastes good, and I only ever need a half order. It has chopped lettuce, black beans, sweet corn, jicama, cilantro, basil, corn tortilla strips, Monterry jack cheese, herb ranch dressing, bbq chicken, diced tomatoes and green onions. I also added some avocado.

Sunset Foods in Highland Park

While I wouldn't call this grocery store a restaurant, I grabbed this to-go snack for lunch yesterday in between visiting my grandma and a doctor's appointment. It had fresh grapes, tuna salad, muenster and cheddar cheese cubes and crackers. It was all delicious, and I was able to eat it safely in the passenger seat of my mom's car.

Portillo's in Niles
The Portillo's Group has restaurants all over Chicago. It's one of the best places to try Chicago style hot dogs and Italian beef. It has very eclectic decor and usually plays music that reminds me of the 1940's.

Like California Pizza Kitchen, I always get the same thing. I get the chopped salad, which I'm sure is one of the most popular things to order there. It is full of goodies like bacon, pasta, Gorgonzola cheese and a whole mix of lettuce and cabbage. I let them sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. The dressing is tasty but heavy, so I always get it on the side.

I love my American salads! Australia, you have to catch on.
