Salt Creek Grille


Salt Creek Grille located in El Segundo, California is a must go for any occasion or event. The first restaurant opened in the summer of 1996 in Dana Point, California. Since it’s opening Salt Creek Grille has had rave reviews for its excellent wine menu, great tasting food and its live jazz music. On my recent visit I started with a refreshing Champagne Lemondrop (Grey Goose Citron, Champagne, Lemon Juice, Triple Sec & a splash of Grenadine). For my main course I had delicious Mesquite Grilled Baby Back Ribs with Salt Creek Garlic Fires that were so amazingly good. The ribs were cooked perfect; the meat literally fell off them! It was a great set of ribs that I will surely come back for. Dessert was also amazing…Chocolate Ganache SoufflĂ©. The SoufflĂ© takes 25 minutes, so order it in advance and when it comes out…scrumdiliumciousness!!

Team Starbucks




Starbucks opened it's first coffee shop on March 30, 1971 in Seattle, Washington. The original founders Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker were inspired by their mutual friend Alfred Peet who opened his first shop Peet's Coffee and Tea in Berkley, California in 1966. Peet is considered to be a pioneer for introducing custom coffee roasting in America. The name Starbuck is from the novel Moby Dick written by Herman Melville, Starbuck was the first mate on the ship Pequod. The Starbucks logo is called a Melusine (mermaid) which in European legends is a feminine spirit of fresh waters in sacred springs and rivers. Over the decades Starbucks has grown into an empire that no one could imagine. Not only has it taken over America its has taken over the world. If you haven't had the opportunity to experience what the rest of have please I insist...Everybody loves a good cup of coffee.




I recently purchased my very own customize Starbucks card, which is an awesome gift idea for that coffee-feen. https://www.starbucks.com/shop/card/customize Here are some Starbucks recommend where the Barista's make your drink perfect and the atmosphere is pleasant.
