mmm-yoso!!! is the blog about food that Kirk, ed (from Yuma), Cathy and a few others eat out or prepare at home. Today, Cathy is blogging because she has a password to get onto Typepad.com and can.
Hi again. I was getting ready to start this post and realized just how predictable I am, based on what The Mister and I ordered here. But anyhow, it is what we eat when we come to this San Diego based Sports Bar, Oggi’s (pronounced Oh-jeez). 
First, we always order a sampler of the beers brewed here. $7 for seven five ounce glasses. (bottom left, going up- Hefe, Pale Ale, Amber, Gold..bottom right going up-IPA, Scottish and Stout). Supposedly people get the sampler and then order a pint of whatever they like best. I never can decide and each beer has its own distinctive qualities. I just enjoy my sips and share with The Mister and then drink water. 
We always order a salad, and The Mister chooses. This time it was the Balsamic Chicken ($9.50) quite large, with warm chicken breast strips, candied walnuts, feta cheese and a delightful basil balsamic dressing, served with one breadstick. I know I could never eat this portion by myself. 
Then I order what I always order, the "make your own" calzone ($7.95). Just three cheeses inside- a sweet, fresh ricotta, very nice, fresh and stringy when melted mozzarella and Fontina. These are surrounded by a fresh made dough that is slightly sweet and baked properly. 
By properly, I mean it is crispy and chewy and not mushy, even with fillings.
Here is a cross section of my half, with some fresh made, very nice, fresh tomato based marinara sauce and the side of sweet pepper and pickle that accompanies. We won’t discuss why they give you a pickle. They just do.
Of course, it is a "make your own" calzone, yet The Mister just does not want any anchovies invading his half of the calzone, so I just ask for them on the side ($1.25). Heh heh…
Oggi’s has many television sets set to various sporting events inside and outside the restaurant. The food is always very fresh and tasty. There are many locations in Southern California and Arizona.
At the beginning, when I said The Mister and I order predictably, I was thinking about this post from last February.
