Last Nights Dinner - The Hat - Rancho Cucamonga, CA

The Hat, has been serving up some of the best Pastrami sandwiches since 1951, bar none. Don't let the humble décor fool you, their food is the business and a must have, especially when the temperature begins to drop. I mean after all isn’t 60° technically freezing for Southern California?

On The Move: Slaters 50/50

Slaters 50/50 is one of the places we will be giving you a thorough update on and very soon. Our resident fat man in the streets #Fatnando has deemed this place as currently holding the Holy Grail of Hamburgers. In his own words he stated that “the Slaters 50/50 peanut Butter & Jellousy is a burger that features a 1/3 lb patty consisting of Sterling Silver Ground Beef, topped with Thick Cut Bacon, Creamy Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jelly on a Honey Wheat Bun. Separating real adventurous foodies from the faint of heart, this burger had me in full attack mode, resulting in a full term food baby, complete satisfaction and a newfound respect for the homie Kory who put me up on game about this amazing burger.”

Look for more to come in the next week or two as we head back out on the road for more good grub worthy or gracing our pages.

Luna Modern Mexican Cuisine... Corona, CA

Luna Modern Mexican Kitchen in Corona, CA is putting an amazing new twist on classic Mexican dishes in an area that desperately needs this kind of cutting edge thinking. As they themselves state they are doing Mexican Food Justice and much more from signature cocktails, elegantly plated delicious dishes and a welcoming atmosphere this is a spot that you should check out and support.

I stopped by just this evening to take a loved family member out and snatched up a few items that needed to be spoken about rather quickly. The tableside made Guacamole Autentico (w/ fresh Hass Avocados, Mango, Chipotle Shrimp and fresh made chips) was fantastic and went well with a few Bacardi & Cokes.

The appetizers were quickly followed by our order of Luna’s Special Fajitas and the Mar y Tierra Duet which was grilled adobo flat iron steak and sautéed jumbo prawns with roasted chorizo potatoes and fried plantain arroz blanco.

The Fajitas came loaded with sauteed Shrimp and succulent grilled steak, Arroz de la casa, Frijoles de la olla, Pico de gallo, Sauteed sweet onions and Sauteed mixed peppers & homemade tortillas, the type of dish you need to order when your hungry for a good amount of food that s full of fresh flavor and no canned fillers.

A few drinks later and we were ready to go. All in all Luna’s Modern Mexican Kitchen is a fresh spot, putting a great spin on Authentic Mexican Cuisine in a quiet neighborhood. Who said you need to be surrounded by paparazzi to have good food?
