mmm-yoso!!! is a blog about food written by a group of friends who eat. Today, Cathy is blogging about both food and an adventure.
Hi. The other day, my brother sent me an email that he had a pass to a convention Las Vegas and would be flying in, accompanied by his son, my 15 year old nephew, who couldn't go to the conventionor any adult ventures because of his age. and anyhow, he was wondering if "Aunt Cathy" maybe could drive out for a bit and visit. So I did.
I left Santee about 7 a.m. and drove, keeping the speed limit.
Soon I was at my destination, called my nephew on the mobile, announced I was hungry and was happy he was also ready for lunch. 
We drove out of Sunset Staion, took a left and started looking and found a Sammy's California Woodfired Pizza place: Unique for my nephew. So we stopped.
We shared a small Caesar Salad ($7) which was fresh and not too garlic-y.
We asked for bread and a basket of fresh made white bread and some crackers was brought to the table.
Since we could not decide, the "New York" pizza was ordered ($10)- wood fired dough topped with sausage, pepperoni, salami, mushrooms and block olives. Very good.
My brother came back from his meetings and was ready for dinner. We went to Blueberry Hill, a 24 hour, Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner place and he ordered one of each of the soups of the day-a tomato turkey and a beef zucchini; both were very good.
My nephew ordered this- fried chicken, mashed and vegetables. Gravy came on the side.
Along with a breakfast of corned beef hash, poached eggs and ribbon cut hash browns (aren't they pretty?)
I ordered a breakfast, because I wanted a blueberry muffin, grilled.
My brother ordered chicken fried steak. Which came with the gravy on it.
I started noticing flooring in the hotel. Like this birds eye view of hot dogs in the elevator. I knew I needed to sleep.
The view from the hotel room was glorious the next morning, only to be set aside by my dear brother and nephew both telling me "don't fool yourself Aunt Cathy, you snore"…
With that, we went bowling.
There was time for breakfast at the 24 hour coffee shop (Coco's).
As well as lattes and pastries from the Casino Starbucks.
But I did need to start driving home, and greatly anticipated my next stop.
In Baker. The Mad Greek.
A gyros.
A banana shake.
We hope everyone is having a nice 
weekend!
Wow, what a foodfest! Grilled blueberry muffin sounds very intriguing! A nice pat of real butter and I be it’s delicious. That pizza looks mighty fine too. Guess I better go grab lunch.
A road trip sounds excellent at the moment.. Thanks for sharing Cathy!
I always stop at Mad Greek! I have yet to try one of their milkshakes though.
viva la vegas! i’ve been wanting to go so badly lately. where did you go bowling?
It seems to be kind of a signature at Blueberry Hill, Carol. Simply cut in half and toasted that way. Just nice.Always better with real butter…always. I love Sammy’s.
It was just 36 hours of my life, Dennis. I love spur of the moments…
Oh you *must try a milkshake, Linda. Date shakes are the best. Welcome.
It’s only a few hours, sawyer. Really. We bowled inside Sunset Station. It was great. I hadn’t in years (like before I broke my wrist)
Oh the drive…but food made it worth it? 😉
Family, bowling and good food too, bill.
Hey Cathy! Speaking of Greek, have you been to Pegasus Cafe in RB? I went there earlier this week (Restaurant.com did it’s job) and thought it was pretty good. I about to write a small review on here, but realized it would take forever… so e-mail me if you want a real write-up. I’m no expert on Greek food, but Daphne’s this ain’t!
