Mimi’s Cafe: A Local Favorite

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:19:47 +0000

Known for dependable meals at great prices, Mimi’s Café is the place to go for your everyday comfort food—soups, salads, sandwiches, hearty entrees (meatloaf, pot roast, etc.) and more. Founded in 1978, this local chain is known by their custom-constructed buildings, which resemble French country cottages, as well as their excellent hospitality. Starting out in Anaheim, California, there are now Mimi’s in 28 states. Regulars all rave about the carrot raisin bread, served in the free breadbasket that starts your meal. You can ask for nothing but that in the basket and they’ll gladly give it to you. The food is competent if not extraordinary, with the usual mix of breakfast, lunch, and dinner favorites. The service is also polite and respectful, making Mimi’s one of the few restaurants in town that doesn’t seem like they’re trying to rush you through your meal.

"Mah Jongg is a game that originated in China, commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in Korea and Japan). The four-player table version is not the same as the single player tile matching game Mah Jongg solitaire. Similar to the Western card game rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy and calculation and involves a certain degree of chance." (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Kings Kabab: Mediterranean Feast

admin — Tue, 08 May 2012 16:13:52 +0000

Treat yourself to a Mediterranean feast fit for royalty at this friendly little café. Diners say there’s a lot to love about the chicken shawarma, lentil soup, and kebabs, those savory standbys of the region. The creamy hummus gets raves, too, as do the falafel and dolmas. The combo plates are heaping platters with enough food to sate the biggest appetite, or to take home for another meal. And at $9 to $14, they’re a deal that’s easy on the budget. Nothing fancy here, just your basic mom and pop café with good food and friendly service. Kings Kebab is open Mondays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m., and Sundays from noon until 6 p.m.
