Athenian Burgers- Cypress, CA

Recently, I went to a new place that I have never been to before. My step-dad chose this place as he was driving by it. Someone had mentioned to him that it was really good and that we should stop by there some time. Athenians burgers is the food place that I got to try. Although the name of the place is Athenians burgers, they don't just serve burgers; They serve a lot of American food as well as Mexican food. There were so many great choices to choose from that it was hard for me to decide. I chose to have a large plate of steak nachos with other toppings such as: guacamole, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, and beans. Athenians burgers have many locations but I had went to the one on Valley View and Lincoln. It is located more towards the Cypress, CA area. If you have one near you, I suggest you try it because your meal is served fast and the service is well. They also give you a little appetizer serving of tortilla chips and salsa. Hope you like it!

Spaghetti.

I haven't been out to eat very often these past few weeks. Although I haven't visited or went to any fast-food places/restaurants, my mom made my family a traditional meal of spaghetti. I'm sure almost every family has had a dish of spaghetti before. For some reason this specific bowl of spaghetti that I had this time was amazing! My mom used Prego brand of traditional spaghetti sauce. The type of noodles used were Barilla brand. The Barilla brand sells all types of noodles so it all depends on which type of noodle you like your marinara meat sauce with. My mother used the basic thin noodles, but she also uses the thick spaghetti noodles as well sometimes. Spaghetti is great with something on the side. but what is it? Garlic bread is great to eat with this dish. Personally, I don't like spaghetti without some garlic bread on the side. You have to make sure you throw your garlic bread in the oven so it's able to get crispy and more delicious.

San Pedro, CA

Although my blog is mostly about food located in Anaheim or close to Anaheim, the food I am blogging about today is from San Pedro, CA. San Pedro isn't very far, but it is at least 45 minutes away which isn't too bad if you are interested in being by the ocean eating some amazing seafood. The food in this specific area in San Pedro is like shrimp, crab, lobster, fish, etc. The picture below is showing a tray of shrimp with a certain type of buttery sauce. The one bad thing about taking a trip down to San Pedro is that the lines are long and there are many people! Getting food at these places don't take very long though. When I took a trip down there from Anaheim, the line was very long but it only took about 10-15 minutes to get the tray of food. The prices vary, for example, this tray of shrimp was about $45.50 and the other tray was around the same price. What seafood isn't pricey though? It was definitely worth the wait.
