Beef Milanesa Sandwich at Gauchito Grill



Our random meal of the day brings us an order of the Beef Milanesa Sandwich. The grass fed beef for the sandwich is pounded thin and breaded. The breading is flavored with a garlic & parsley accent. Finally the beef is lightly fried and placed on this wonderful freshly baked ciabatta. A side of house potato chips rounds out this random meal.

Found at Gauchito Grill in San Marcos, California.

Love Belgian Waffles at More Than Waffles



We have either a breakfast or dessert order of the Love Belgian Waffles depending on your take of today's random meal of the day. These waffles are dipped in dark Belgian chocolate and we top it with sliced strawberries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a layer of whipped cream. Since we were sitting next to a heat lamp as it was brisk 62 degrees outside, the whipped cream quickly melted away. Let just say that we were trying to beat the crowd but we embraced the cold weather for a bit more light to help give this random meal the extra pop!

Found at More Than Waffles in Encino, California.

Bill Graham BBQ Chicken Pizza at Rock & Brews



We have the Bill Graham BBQ Chicken Pizza for our random meal of the day. The funny thing is the first time I ever had this many months ago, my coworker turned to me past two coworkers sitting between us and ask me "Are you eating a Cilantro pizza?" Let's just say that my coworker is not a fan of cilantro and spotted this from the other end of a large bench. Now to think about it, I haven't had a random meal with that coworker since the cilantro question. lol

Found at Rock & Brews in El Segundo, California.

Grass Fed Carne Asada Fajitas at La Sirena Grill



Our random meal of the day brings us an order of some Grass Fed Carne Asada Fajitas. Grass fed beef is much leaner than normal beef. I think it is actually fantastic thinly sliced.

Grand Slam at Dog Haus Biergarten



When your hot dog has all the ingredients to be breakfast, is it considered breakfast or is it one of those perfect breakfast for lunch random meals. We have for our random meal of the day a Grand Slam hot dog. It looks like the restaurant has a hit as they have been expanding. The first time I had this was way back in January 2011 at the original location and some changes have been made for the better at the new location. The biggest change is that the Hawaiian Bread as a hot dog bun is now to grilled to give it a nice toasted golden edge. The rest of the ingredients remain true to form. We have a quarter pound hot dog that is topped with smoked bacon, tater tots and a sunny side up fried egg. It still taste fantastic!
