today I had lunch at a gas station...
did I mention that it was at a gas station?
a "Valero" gas station in fact...
in the middle of Santa Ana, but maybe it was Tustin?
i have pictures to prove it for those of you who do not believe me...
Michelle, one of my favorite people, treated me to lunch today...
at a gas station.
the name of the place is called Gourmade Grill~
i was a little suspicious when she kept insisting that we go to this place and how
a "hot dog" at Costco was not as good as this...grill...
she went on and on about how this Peter guy was a professionally trained
chef and how he graduated from Le Cordon Bleu...blah blah blah...
you can only imagine what i am thinking as we pull into the "Valero"
gas station....yes gas station people! oh, I already said that...sorry
i very politely warned Michelle
that while I appreciated her offer to buy me lunch...
i would not be eating anything for that seedy looking place lunch today...
i was actually a bit afraid for "her" life, when she informed me that
she was going to disregard the fact that it was a "gas station" restaurant!
we get up to the window and this "gorgeous" young woman
whose name is "Antoinette"~
(Antoinette's photo is here too)
see "Antoinette" she is adorable~
for those of you who know Michelle you know that
she had to tell the lovely "Antoinette" that i was afraid to eat there, which
just so happened to be her restaurant...
of course, i wanted to hide under the table at this point right?
there was another couple that was there eating, while standing
because there is really no room for sitting inside.
the couple was still alive eating the food and had smiles on their faces...
soooooo i started to think....
i decided that i would venture out of my SAFE box....well really i
fell in love with "Antoinette" and decided that she was going to
be my new best friend instead of Michelle
because i was going to kill her if we got out of there alive.
we ordered peter's greek fries, which were shoestring (my favorite) fries
tossed with oregano, feta cheese & topped with tomatos &
gyro meat served with cucumber sauce was "outstanding"!
Michelle had the basil chicken sandwich, again "outstanding"!
i had the chipotle chicken sandwich, which was also super duper "outstanding"!
we walked away happy, alive and looking forward
to another visit to Peter's Gourmade Grill... and to see
Antoinette~
i cannot wait to hear from all my friends what they think
of Michelle's great find...
~so what are you waiting for~
