Anyways, so far every week I've taken an excursion to find food. Well, I cooked a couple of times too! This week I felt like grabbing a nicer meal in the LA area. I haven't been spending much money and I heard about this great restaurant in Los Angeles called 'Artichoke'.
I went with a friend and she told me that their food is extremely fresh. It is supposed to give you that healthy, clean feeling after you eat it. I guess kinda like after eating Subway, but then again Subway's ingredients are definitely not fresh. I mean, their meat and stuff is just sitting there with all this plastic and paper. Nasty.
I decided to start my meal off with tomato soup. It was delicious! Look at how fancy this is! This bowl of soup definitely inspired me to take a shot at tomato soup one day. I've made French Onion Soup, it was delicious. Tomato soup just sounds and looks more simple than tomato soup. $5
For my main course I decided to go with the turkey sandwich. My friend said that it was the best thing there (I highly doubt that), but it definitely was good. The sandwich came with a side salad of an assortment of spinach. The sandwich itself used grilled rye bread and some fatty turkey slices. Check out the pretty flower in the background. $8
Of course I had to get dessert. This was my ode to Like Water for Chocolate even though the film didn't really focus on chocolate at all. One of the cookies is a Blueberry Cream cookie, the other is a Cornflake Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookie! These were incredible. To top it off they offered us some of their soft serve ice cream. The cookies and the ice cream mixed were to die for!
Yup, this place was definitely a great restaurant to sit in and grab a meal. It was intimate and the food was amazing! The drive out to this place from Riverside was about an hour, but it was well worth it!
