“Seriously…we’re giving away a ton of free pizza. Don’t miss out.”
No time specified, but I got this little card handed out to me at lunchtime downtown.
Editor’s Update: This will go on until midnight. You will get a medium pizza. You can not order it in advance. You don’t need a coupon but they’ll be passing those out anyway!!

Met a buddy who knew the right Chinese food place to check out…Grubgirl had a craving for wonton soup and this place gets an A+. A big bowl of wontons, with plenty of meat in them, savory broth, and, the pleasant surprise was that there was some tofu, fish cake, and meat also thrown in!

Grubgirl had a hankering for some biscuits in sausage gravy. Along with her hungover friend HH, we descended upon this site, across from that bar, Fly. Decent, diverse crowd of folks in a traditional diner. We were about to be seated when we decided to check out Blue Jay’s Cafe up the street.
Average cost of items on BJC’s menu was $2-3 more than at Eddies. We headed back to Eddie’s.
Trader Joe’s Discontinues Hot Pepper Relish!
Trader Joe’s
Temecula, CA
Dear Grub Girl,
I found your website searching bell pepper relish. I also have been enjoying Trader Joe’s Hot Bell Pepper Relish, and have been hooked on it since they did a sandwich demo in the store near my home. I have been telling all my friends at Weight Watcher’s about it, and went to get some more today. I was shocked that it has been discontinued. I called Trader Joe’s corporate office and was informed that it was a “slow seller”. (not in my Trader Joe’s) Perhaps if enough people complain about this, they could bring it back. Just wanted you to know. I used it in a chicken salad with lowfat mayo, and on lavosh bread with cold cuts. Yum. I also asked them who their manufacturer was and if they sold their relish under another brand in another store. They said it was made exclusively for them.
