Friday reviews etc.

Another Friday, another pair of reviews of places I've yet to visit.

Elaine Lehman made her way out to Grand Terrace to try Bonello's New York Pizza.

She got more than she bargained for when she ordered the lunch special.

On the dinner side, David Cohen reviews Riverside's Restaurant Omakase.

He gives it five stars out of five.

Looking at the current menu on their Web site, most of it sounds incredible:

  • bisque of fairytale pumpkin, house cheese, bacon, brioche
  • japanese tai, sashimi style, a pickle of persimmon, apple & hot mint
  • butternut gnocchi, glazed with tart apple, reggiano, balsamico
  • roquefort 'cheesecake', preserved quince, pumpkin seed oil
  • apple-yogurt souffle, brown sugar-sea salt anglaise
Then you look at the prices. David opted for a five-course tasting menu, with wine pairings. Each course is $13, with the wine pairings costing another $6.

Let's do the math...let's see...carry the 5...that's a $95 dinner! Wow.

For me, that would be a once-in-a-decade treat.

There is a bright side, however. For us cheapskates, David writes that the restaurant has been offering a special tasting menu on the last Tuesday and Wednesday of the month.

Courses during the special tasting are only $10 and $5 for the wine pairing. For a three-course meal (the minimum), that's only $45, and down to a paltry $30 if you forgo the wine.

Hmm...that's within reach. Pity we've got to wait nearly a month for the next one!

How to win customers...cheap produce!

Businesses are trying lots of new tricks to entice customers into their establishments these days.

Um, free breakfast anyone?

Dine 909 fave fresh & easy has come up with a simple way to increase sales...cheap produce!

Good food. Cheap prices. It sounds painfully obvious, but apparently it's working.

They're reporting that their produce sales have increased 11 percent since their 98-cent Produce Packs were introduced in January.

The goal is to offer six different fruits and vegetables for that low price, depending on seasonal availability. Currently, they're offering grape tomatoes, yellow onions, green bell peppers, pears, lemons and oranges.
