Here we are again; it’s week two, which means that I have a
new story to tell. This week’s destination of my latest adventure: Pita Cabana
Grill. Well it all started when my
roommate and I were talking about where we wanted to go for dinner last night.
We went through a list of all the restaurants that we hadn’t been to in a while,
when I realized that I still needed something to blog about. I pondered for a
bit, and remembered a noodle house –I’m not sure of the name- that was by
McLanahan’s. We decided to go there for dinner, and after the arduous one mile
walk, we saw something terrible: “Cash Only.” Well we both only had our credit
cards so that ruled out the noodle house, but then we saw Pita Cabana Grill.
We were both feeling hungry and a bit adventurous, so we
decided to spring for the “Lebanese Fusion Food” that they had to offer. Normally,
I wouldn’t judge a restaurant by it’s appearance, well sometimes, but I had a
funny feeling about this place the second that I walked in. First of all,
nobody was there; that should have been my first inclination that this may not
be the best place to have dinner, but I ignored it and went on my merry way. We
ordered our dinner, which took about five minutes to microwave, and sat in the
awkward silence that surrounded the room. After we ate our pita sandwiches,
which were nothing to brag about, we saw two girls walk in, look around, and
walk right back out. Oh, and another thing worth mentioning is that my roommate
felt sick about twenty minutes after eating. True story.
While my experience at Pita Cabana Grill was not as much of
a success as Saints, I don’t regret going there. Sure the cleanliness was a bit
questionable and the food wasn’t the best, but I know that I probably would
have ended up eating there eventually. Hopefully my trip to the noodle house
will bring about a better outcome. Until next time!
I love the optimism in this post haha. I haven't tried this place yet, but maybe now I'll feel less inclined to go. I always pass it when I walk downtown and I've only seen the inside of it once when I went to the now-closed gift shop that was down there. I always found it to be a sketchy place.
ReplyDeleteWell I can check the Pita Cabana off of my list of restaurants to try. However, the noodle house is called Big Bowl, and it is completely amazing. While the cash only aspect is annoying at times, the food is wonderful and definitely worth what you pay. I hope that you get to try it sometime (however, may I reccommend either the wonton soup, the noodles in broth (the brown sauce isn't that great, but it's still good), or the General Tso's chicken. I hope that next week's adventure proves to bring a more positive experience.
ReplyDeleteI am going to read your blogs just so I know where not to go and the Noodle House is called Big Bowl it is ok, but I believe you can get better chinese food on campus. I am biased though since I work at the Asian Grille in East eveery Friday morning, but the food there is way better. Also more places need to accept lioncash it would make life so much easier.
