I’ve only just begun to explore the goods offered by Pascal Epicerie and Wine Shop and I’m already hooked on the Salads. I’ve stopped in 3 of the last 4 days to choose from the Daily Pasta and Vegetable Salads offered by the pound.
So far we can’t get enough of the Bean Salad(s) and Roasted Vegetables – The Green Beans aren’t pictured, but they’re my favorite so far. Pictured with the aforementioned is the Ratatouille and Beet Salad. We look forward to trying ALL their Pasta and Vegetable Salads, to be posted here soon. Pascal Epicerie and Wine Shop is next door to Tradition by Pascal, one of the best restaurants in Newport Beach.
After meeting a work deadline, we were happy to finally be sitting down for a late lunch at the Yard House. This day we tried the Penne Pasta with Chicken and a Grilled Pastrami Sandwich. The Garlic in the Pasta overtook our table and car, a little too much – And we were hoping for more of a Marsala flavor, since that’s how it’s described.
The Yard House BBQ Chicken Salad is huge. Their portion sizes are always generous.
Below is the Portabella Burger, although not its best side, the Eggplant, Roasted Red Peppers and Feta make it a tasty Sandwich.
The Summer Salad includes fresh Strawberries, Avocado, Oranges, Candied Walnuts and Leeks, a fun combination of ingredients. A White Balsamic Vinegar might be aesthetically better on this Salad than a brown one. Overall, the Yard House serves a lot of excellent dishes. Our preference is Happy Hour, when the appetizers are half price.

Last year the Carne Asada was from Gems Market in Yorba Linda and this year it’s from Costco. Both were good – We’ve got no complaints about anything. It was a beautiful day in America.
We had Hot Dogs, made Tacos, ate Salads, Fresh Cherries, Edamame, Chips, Salsa, Watermelon, Homegrown Tomatoes, Basil and more.
And check out these shoes (directly above right), they’ve got bottle openers built in to the bottom of them. Too funny — I had not seen that before. They came in handy on this thirsty day.

It’s a doctored up Red Velvet Cake from a mix — I added a box of Chocolate Pudding Mix, Vanilla Extract and Orange Juice in place of Water. And the Glaze was made with Pineapple Juice and Powdered Sugar. I hope it tastes good, since it’s on its way to a 4th of July Pool Party. We’ll report back. Happy 4th to YOU and God Bless America.
UPDATE: By the time the Cake was cut, I was busy swimming in the pool in my dress, HA. I’m told it was good, but unfortunately didn’t get a photo of its beautiful color.
I mostly appreciated the Fresh Pineapple received in launch of Carl’s Jr.’s New Teriyaki Burger – That was fun. The Teriyaki Burger is good too, because I usually choose a Hula Burger aka Hawaiian Burger aka Teriyaki Burger, that’s generally served with a Pineapple slice or two and a sweet Sauce. Shown is the Six Dollar Teriyaki Burger on the house, but I subsequently purchased another with a regular Burger and think it’s better. And the Pineapple actually has a grilled taste to it, which is nice. I’ll take the Fifth regarding their commercials. Aloha.
