CPK

[posting finally on 12/10!]

So after watching the first showing of "Twilight" on opening day with my GBF, we decided to eat at CPK which is right across from the AMC in Fashion Valley. He had never eaten there before so we chose that place rather than Pizzeria Uno.

For the sake of time, we decided to eat at a restaurant within the confines of the mall. I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants but I will tolerate them once in a while. Just realized I forgot to rotate this photo of the menu. Oh well, fk it.

It seemed fitting that they had Portobello Mushroom Ravioli on their menu since that is what Bella Swan ate at Bella Italia the night Edward Cullen saved her from a group of would be rapists in the book "Twilight". In the movie, she does get served mushroom ravioli but the restaurant is not Italian - it's some wierd name - "The Bloated Toad". Sounds more like an English pub type name. And no, I did NOT order the ravioli. That would be kind of lame. Another comment, I think Kung Pao Spaghetti is all kinds of wrong.

We ended up choosing a pasta and a salad to share. The pasta was the Chicken Tequila Fettucine (see description in menu photo above)... We both liked this - anything with cream is a winner to me. I actually should be eating healthier though.

The salad he chose was the Classic Caesar Salad with Chicken. I ended up picking at the shaved parmesan flakes and eating just the lettuce. The chicken seemed a bit dry to me.

Close up of the Chicken Tequila Fettucine...We were both starved after watching the movie. No popcorn for us. We actually polished off the pasta and salad both! Oink oink!

By the time we were done with lunch, the lunch crowd was in full force. Time to get the fk out and beat traffic!
