Memorial Day is when almost everyone has something going on; barbeques, picnics, etc. Sandi and I didn't have any plans, and Zohreh and her husband didn't plan on anything. We decided to go to Truxton's for Happy Hour. We have been there numerous times and haven't been disappointed yet.
We decided to order a few appetizers. We started with the Spinach-Artichoke Dip; artichoke hearts with a blend of 4 cheeses with Parmesan cheese ad roasted tomatoes served with chips. This was followed by the Ancho Honey Glazed Shrimp tossed in a sweet honey acho glaze with spicy wonton pepita slaw. They both had a nice kick to them.
We have had the Buffalo Cauliflower before and loved it, so we had to have it again. This, too, was spicy, and the combination of the bleu cheese crumbles and the cool ranch dressing balanced everything. We had to have some good old carbohydrates, so we ordered the House Chili Cheese Fries with cheddar cheese and onions drizzled with chipotle aioli sauce and parsley.
We, fortunately, had room for dessert, so we had Sandi order what she wanted since it was still her birthday month. She ordered the Carrot Cake with caramel sauce and a side of whipped cream. Zohreh and I had to help her till there was not a crumb on the plate.
Truxton's American Bistro is a good place to get "happy." They have a few locations; one is at the Hillside Village in Torrance, California.
