Pat and Oscar’s-and what Cathy always orders

Pat and Oscar's has closed most of their locations. They will be missed. 

mmm-yoso!!! is the blog about food.  Today, Cathy is back with a short post.

Hello once more. I'm still here blogging and Kirk and His Missus are still enjoying their adventures in Vietnam. I did get an email from him when he was going to be away from the internet for a few days. They are enjoying their vacation immensely and you'll get to see all about it in due time. Dsc01550 Dsc01551   SO ANYHOW…There is a local "chain" here in San Diego, called "Pat and Oscars".  It is semi self serve in that you order, pay, grab plates/silverware/napkins, seat yourself and then have the food delivered to your table.  You can put together a bunch of tables for a large gathering and the prices are reasonable, especially for groups. You can see their menu on line at www.Breadstick.com.  They make a variety of items, yet after trying everything from the menu over the years, The Mister and I end up ordering the same thing.  Always. 

The chicken meal for two ($16.99).  It includes a choice of a Cesar or Greek salad.  I always choose Greek.  You can see it has onions, beets, green pepper slices, feta and olives.  I really crave this salad.

The meal also includes an order of 12 breadsticks- fresh made, topped with olive oil and a touch of garlic flavor.  {The website address is breadstick.com: Pat and Oscar's are *known* for their breadsticks.  Sometimes if the line to order is long, they are passing out samples to those waiting: sometimes they had out breadsticks to people in front of the restaurant…it is *the* reason a lot of people eat here. }   

Of course, included is a whole rotissiere cooked chicken- either Lemon or BBQ.

Always the Lemon.

Dsc01552The items are always good, fresh, hot Dsc01553 Dsc01554and  taste great.   

You can see The Mister makes open faced sandwiches with his breadsticks and chicken and I eat my salad with breadsticks and enjoy the chicken by itself.

Seriously, we have tried the pizza, ribs, sandwiches, pasta, soups and the BBQ chicken and they are not as tasty as this particular combination. {If the pizza dough were made from the breadstick dough, then *maybe* I would like the pizza here.  It isn't}

When you go to the website, sign up for the promotional emails and you occasionally get a coupon for $5 off of $15, and this meal fits in that category.

Hope you all have a nice, uneventful weekend.
