Being one of the newer places in Thousand Oaks, CA, I am not surprised to almost always encounter a wait coming here. This is a great place to come before or after watching a movie at the adjacent Muvico movie theater. As you walk in the large front door, you have to grapple with 1) [...]

Foodie Fridays: FOX Sports Grill
Posted: April 15, 2011 in Foodie FridaysTags: FOX, fox sports grill
I have only been to FOX a couple of times, but so far it has been just satisfactory. This location is not all too easy to find without either knowing where it is already (it’s next to a cemetery) or using GPS. Parking can be a disaster, as they share a small parking lot with [...]
Just one among many pizzerias in Ventura County, this quaint little place is much like the rest: cavernous interior, counter-service style (but they’ll bring whatever you need to your table, including your pizza), with high-top tables and bench-style seating and small low tables throughout. All the staff are very young and friendly. The pizza is [...]
Foodie Fridays: Buca di Beppo
Posted: March 25, 2011 in Foodie FridaysTags: Buca di Beppo, foodie, italian
Buca di Beppo is pretty good, if you are with at least two other people. The Thousand Oaks location is huge compared to the fairly small strip mall in which it sits. I always thought the lobby was a bit small compared to the size of the rest of it. The walls are absolutely covered [...]
Foodie Fridays: Yolanda’s Mexican Restaurant
Posted: March 11, 2011 in Foodie FridaysTags: food, mexican, Ventura, Yolanda's
Ok, not the best “Mexican” food around, but definitely a staple for a town (in which I grew up, by the way) that can hardly be considered a cultural oasis of dining out options. The Ventura location is prime- right on Main Street, but not so close to the heart of it that getting to [...]
Foodie Fridays: Victoria Pub & Grill
Posted: March 4, 2011 in Foodie FridaysTags: British, pub, Ventura, Victoria
I have been coming to Victoria Pub & Grill for almost as many years as I’ve been able to purchase alcohol for myself. The location is great, in that it is not in a heavily trafficked area and thus avoids getting overrun on a daily basis. Parking is a bit tough sometimes, but not bad. [...]
Foodie Fridays: Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant
Posted: February 25, 2011 in Foodie FridaysTags: Ferraro's, foodie, italian, microbrew
Happy Friday everyone, Today’s ‘Foodie’ comes from a small, nondescript Italian restaurant in Ventura, CA. While I will concede Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant has nothing on traditional, authentic Italian food, it is pretty good. Parking is a little awkward, as they share a lot with about a dozen other businesses, so get a spot on the [...]
Foodie Fridays: Eggs ‘n’ Things

Hello fellow food lovers, I am really just a fat kid at heart that loves to eat. So today I am introducing a new feature on the blog: Foodie Fridays. These weekly posts will highlight a different restaurant, cafe, deli, bistro, or just about anything other type of eatery you can think of. Alternatively, if [...]
