Combo Meal: Four Cafe & Colorado Wine Company

The other night we decided to head to Four Cafe with an out of town guest to have a casual, healthy dinner.  Great idea.  Then, realizing we'd forgotten to bring a bottle of wine from home, we stopped at the nearby Colorado Wine Company to pick one up.  Here's where a very good idea becomes a great one.

After picking out a wine, described as "gorgeous" by the equally gorgeous and knowledgeable gal at Colorado Wine Co, she said we could order our food from Four Cafe and stay there to eat.  Genius!





Now, don't get me wrong, I love the atmosphere at Four Cafe, as much as the food, but to combine eating deliciousness in the company of the heady scent of the wine bar.  Perfection for our evening.

Oh, and another tip from our helpful gal at the wine company - order a dessert from Four - Michelle is an "artist".  And, yes, our desserts were scrumptious!

We didn't have soup, but couldn't pass up this delicious photo!

See you on Colorado Blvd in Eagle Rock for a great glass of wine and a delightful meal.

Pizza Night

So after being out on the town in Pasadena Friday night - culminating in a very late evening at 1886 in South Pasadena (but that is another story), Saturday was a stay-in and order pizza night.  Whilst debating the choices near us in Eaglerockadena and deciding against Casa Bianca, we went with Brownstone Pizzeria.  The reviews described the NY style pizza and that had this New Jersey girl sold.  It was a thin, yummy crust, salty cheese (yes!), and fresh mushrooms and onion sliced thinly.  Quite tasty.  One word of advice though, consider it a warning really, the large?  Oh, it's monstrous. The box doesn't even fit in the oven.  Seriously. We cancelled our Thanksgiving dinner order because the pizza will feed all our guests.  Not really.
