**** Island Style Cafe has reopened in Santee
My dry cleaning lady sold her business back at the beginning of the year and decided to just do alterations at a dry cleaners in Tierrasanta….and you know how I am about loyalty and stuff; so of course my dry cleaning is now done there. I decided to run away during a lunch time and pick up my dry cleaning, but the place was closed. So, in order to have some consolation and not waste the trip I went to Rite Aid to pick up some necessities and also made a call....to Island Style Café; it was too early for the Homestyle Hawaiian location in the area and heck, with all that's going on; I wanted some comfort food. I headed to Island Style Café right after Rite Aid.
They had the "Covid set-up" going, my lunch was ready when I got there....in and out in less than 5 minutes. The Owner "Terri" was so nice and told me "Mahalo for giving us business during this difficult time". So nice.....
Of course I got the Kaloko Loco.....
And while the crepe didn't travel real well...perhaps I should have ordered a regular loco......everything else was good; from the not massed produced, beefy hamburger patty, to the fried rice, to the egg that was still nice and runny.
No complaints.....though I wish they had Tabasco....and I didn't have any back at the office; so I had to make due with Cholula. That's ok, it worked out fine.
And while my appetite these days isn't what it used to be.....I polished it off. How did that old commercial go? You know, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing".
A little bit of comfort goes a long way these days.

Carbonara that was unpleasantly salty. Had better success with the smoker tonight though. Cheers!

At least gas is cheap nowadays. Extra driving is not as painful. This used to be my go-to after hiking Mission Trails Fortuna side.
