Week 13: Final Blog

Yay this is my last blog on the project and probably on blogger! This project was somewhat a success, but also a fail because we passed by going to as many restaurants around the OC area, then the fail of the project was that  we failed in making a website, making a yelp and then we started with three people and ended with two people. I believe that we did a pretty good job on presenting it and that my partner Marrissa was a good motivator by telling me to be calm and just go through the presentation. During the presentation I got pretty nervous, but I was still confident enough. This project was a great experience for me because I learned many tactics to present and somewhat helped the community by making them see whats around them and let the tourist see when they visit Anaheim. The only thing I disliked about the project to me it was still pretty boring and there was no motivation going down the stretch. So this is my last time I am probably using blogger!

Week 12: Fire+Ice

This past weekend I went to a restaurant called Fire + Ice located in the Anaheim Garden-walk by Disneyland. When I got there I got impressed  from the outside and then the atmosphere inside of it is pretty great. When I got there I made  the Carbonara which has Alfredo and Italian seasoning. The good thing about Fire and Ice is that you get to make your food in the market inside the restaurant and you get to fill it up, then you get to choose your seasoning and sauces, after you go to the grill and you get to watch the chefs cook in front off you. I give this place a A rating and a 10 rate score. The good thing about this place is theirs always events in the restaurant like Salsa Night, Happy Hour, Collage Night and DJ in the weekend. Then the only bad thing is that there are different prices for dinner, lunch and brunch and for the adults, and kids.

Week 11: Farmer Boy's Farmer Burger

This weekend I went to Farmer Boy's but instead of going to breakfast I went to go eat lunch. Their I got to eat the Farmer's Burger which is a fresh burger that has fresh ingredients from bun to bun. This hamburger made me get full that I couldn't eat the fresh cut fries that came with it neither. When I tasted the burger it was farm fresh inside of the burger it had a two fresh buns, fresh lettuce, fresh sliced tomatoes, pieces of onion, crisp pickles, American cheese, 3 pieces of bacon, avocados, dressing and a charbroiled patty. Farmer Boy's is known for this burger because it has been an award winning burger for a couple years already. Again this place has great service and wonderful employees because they are so friendly to the customers. In the rate of the restaurant I give it an A+ like always and I give the burger a rate of 10 in the scale.

Week 10: In-n-Out 3x3

This past weekend I went to In-n-out in Fullerton and when I got there I decided to get something unique which was the 3x3. I believed the this menu wasn't real and people lied about it and I was scared to ask the cashier, but when she actually put it in the machine I was surprised. This burger has the same ingredients as the double except this one has an extra patty. This makes the burger bigger and tastier. The cost for this burger is around four dollars and you can get this burger as a combo. This burger makes you full that you cant finish the fries. The In-n-out I went to was full like usual and it was still somewhat clean but their was a couple of trash in the floor. I believe that In-n-out makes the best burgers and I give them a 10 out of 10 on the scale.

Week 9: No Food

This past weekend I didn't go out to eat because I didn't have any money to buy food  and my parent's didn't want to give me money to go out or they didn't want to take me out. But this coming weekend I am going to a restaurant that I haven't gone or try a new dish that I haven't eaten there. Then I will continue with what I'm doing with the blogs or make them a bit better. This will help me see the different tastes of the OC and not just the regular foods that are around the country. I plan to start getting information about  different restaurants or the different types of foods that people love. Then I predict to start making my blogs similar to theirs by giving them honest rates so people won't be surprised the dish if they are interested by it. So I believe that I will go to different restaurants so people will get more interested on the different types of restaurants when visiting the OC boundaries.

Week 8: Duke's Chili Cheeseburger

This weekend I went to my brothers baseball game and after it finished we went to a restaurant called Duke's Hamburger in Santa Ana. There I got a chili cheeseburger combo that came with fries and a fountain drink for a cost under 6 dollars. I personally believe that the burger is way better than a McDonald's or Carl's burger, because of the great taste from Dukes. The burger has chili, pickles,lettuce, fresh patty on two buns. The environment in the restaurant was very clean from the floors to the tables that even the "A" in the front of restaurant. The restaurant doesn't only sell hamburgers but it sells other different types of plates. The employees are very nice and well organized. Out of everything I give the burger a good 9 on a 10 range scale because of the great taste of the chili cheeseburgers and then the to make it better the fries are soft when you take a bite.

Week 7: McDonald's Big Mac

Last weekend after church my sister and I went to McDonald's for lunch. When I got there I had ordered a Big Mac this burger has two beef patties, yellow American cheese, ripped lettuce, diced onions, pickles and topped off with their secret sauce on three buns that split the patties. The first time I got this burger I was expecting a bigger burger like the commercials. This burger takes me two to get filled up, that's why its pretty small. This burger has a total cost meal of $5.69 which comes with a soda and french fries. Out of everything I give the burger a 7 because how I was expecting it to be bigger and the taste isn't that convincing. The atmosphere was not that sanitary because their was trash on the floors and the table was sticky do to the syrup that is served in breakfast. Then the fountain drinks area isn't that well organized because the tops are all over the place and there was ketchup on the counter top. I really don't like that personally because it makes you uncomfortable to eat there. The good thing about it is there is a play place for kids to play around.

Week 6: Carl's Jr Six Dollar Teriyaki Burger

This past Friday my family and I went to go eat a the famous Carl's Jr there I got was the Six Dollar Teriyaki Burger. This burger comes in with a charbroiled patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, Swiss cheese, a slice of pineapple, Teriyaki sauce, mayo in a sesame seed bun. This burger at first tasted pretty bad but over the years I had began to like it. You can taste the sweetness from the pineapple and the sweetness from the sauce. Out of a ten rate scale I will give this a seven because you get messy from the sauce  The combo comes with any size drink and any size of fries. The cost for the combo is six dollars like it says on its name. The Carl's I went to was a good atmosphere and it was across the street from the Buena Park mall, then the place is clean and the employees are nice people. This is a good taste overall.

Week 5: No Restaurant

This past week I couldn't go out to eat in a restaurant because not only did I have money to purchase and my parents didn't let me go out. So  I passed this week by thinking of the different restaurants I haven't gone too or the different foods I haven't tried. So this week I have been planning to try a different type of fast food restaurant. This will help me see the different tastes of the OC and not just the regular foods that are around the country. I plan to start getting information about the different restaurants or the different types of foods that people love and give them a good rating. Then I predict to start making my blogs similar to theirs by giving them honest rates so people won't be surprised the dish if they are interested by it. So I believe that I will go to different restaurants so people will get more interested when visiting the OC boundaries.

Week 4: Rain Forest Cafe (Downtown Disney)

Last weekend my family and I went to Downtown Disney to go to the Rain Forest Cafe. That place was amazing in so many ways because the employees that work there are amazing and so is the atmosphere. In the restaurant it is two stories and it is a good replica of the rain forest because they have fake trees and ape, elephants, and butterfly figurines that move once and a while there are affects imitating a thunderstorm. Before you enter the restaurant you have to go through the Rain Forest Cafe shop which is good for tourist then after that their is a fish tank you have to pass to officially get inside. The only thing about the Cafe  is the wait because when we went for dinner we had to wait a two hour wait to get inside. Then  the food is tasty, the dish i got was the Taste of The Islands which had crispy coconut shrimp, Tilapia with mango's on top and shrimp with scallops on a dish and it came with a side of french fries which costed 27 dollars and to drink I got a Rain Forest Ricky which is a blend of fruit juices. To top it off we ordered a Volcano which vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and brownies covered with melted chocolate.

Week 3: Pizza Hut Supreme Pizza and Cinnamon Sticks

This past weekend my brother ordered Pizza Hut from delivery. He got two Supreme pizzas with cinnamon sticks on the side. From my point of view I believe that this pizza is better than Little Caesars because the taste is more fresh. The supreme pizza has  a combination of pepperoni, beef, sausage, mushrooms, onions and crisp green peppers. The good thing about it is inside the crust there is stretchable cheese. Pizza hut gives you the option to make you customize the pizza and it costs ten dollars each. The cinnamon sticks are fresh from the oven because it is warm once you get it they have a sweet sensation in your mouth. The sticks cost 4.50 for each. The good thing about Pizza Hut is you can order on any device and the delivery guy will arrive at your house in the estimate of your house distance to the closest location.

Week 2: Little Caesar's Pizza

Yesterday when I finished practice when I got home I came to some Little Caesar's Pizza. I ate two different types of pizzas on was pepperoni and the other was Hawaiian style. We usually get Little Caesars because the pizza is a low cost. The flavor of the pizza is an average because sometimes the pizza either comes out soft while sometimes the crust comes out hard that its hard to chew. Then you can taste that some of the ingredients aren't artificial for example the cheese comes of when you just take one bite out of the pizza. The pepperoni is salty at times. For the Hawaiian pizza the crust is softer and the pizza in general is twice as better than the pepperonis but they cost a bit more then five dollars. Anyways the pizza there is cheap to buy because its only five dollars on the go so you can save up in your pocket.

    

Week 1: Farmer Boy's Breakfast Hotcake Combo

This past weekend I went to Farmer Boy's for breakfast and while I was there I ordered the Hotcake Combo. The combo came with two soft hotcakes, scrambled eggs, and your choice of  two strips of bacon or two sausages. Then as a drink you can order between coffee, milk, or orange juice. Farmer Boy's is known for their fresh food because every bite you take from either breakfast, lunch or dinner you can taste the fresh food that they make. My family loves to go there because we loved the food and service that they serve. They have given us great service because we have never gotten the wrong meal, they kindly ask us if we want more coffee, the manager is active in the restaurant by walking around picking up trash outside and handling the plates and coffee. The prices of the hotcake combo is that its reasonable because it is  cheap to buy.
