Make No Mis-Steak About it, Cross Roads Steak House is Mooooovin on up

I was Kickin it around town earlier this week remembering the days of going to the Pastime eating great food in that part of down town, old brick buildings, just something about it, so when I found out that Cross Roads Steak House was up and running in the Dacres Building with a lounge on one side, I had to go check it out..


they had basically just opened up this week without announcement so they could work the bugs out, but by today the word was out, happy hour drink and food specials was what I was looking for,so I grabbed an Ice Harbor IPA and had the Steak Bites. before my order arrived I thought "I wonder if it is going to be some cat terd looking crinkle steak like some places serve" and when it showed up, I instantly became totally stoked on what I was looking at, actual steak cut into nice bite size battered and fried to perfection served with basically house sauce, these tender bits of wonderful morsels of steak were very tasty and I wish I had a plate of them right now .. 


Now just look at those, you know you wish you had some right now. no knife needed, very tender, not a grease puff either. The Kitchen is set up for pumping out the food, steak house style




We also ordered a Cowboy Cobb Salad and it was not disappointing at all.


we sat in the bar area since it was happy hour and thats where people were gathering to have a good time, I saw new and old faces and they all were smiling



Cross Roads Steak House offers a Private Dining Area for special events and parties


very spacious open dining area with plenty of room 
I am really glad to see this restaurant move to a location that is more of their type of business, the old location was holding them back and wouldn't allow them to reach full potential and didn't feel like a steak house it felt like a cafeteria at a golf course.


 
If your favorite animal is steak, then this is the pet store! 
and on that note I will be Mooooovin on.. cheers - jody

Hey Cujini , Bada Bing!




So Im getting ready to fire up my brick pizza oven and Im thinking, I need some of the best ingredients available for my pizza's today, so there is only one choice and thats Cujini Import Italian Foods on 960 Wallula Ave, Walla Walla WA. This isnt just a cheese tray store, it is full service Italian food you can take home ready to eat! take it home, and make your own, they have all sorts of Authentic dishes frozen for you to cook yourself. 
They have Panini's, Ravioli, Carbanara, Rigatoni, Seafood Linguini, Lasagna, just about everyting you could imagine. they serve wine from Italy and Walla Walla. They make their own salami and import others.







The selection of cheeses are plenty, they will slice up how ever much you want right there at the deli counter

The food is hand made from old family recipes right there, if you want they will make you a cheese plate and you can sit out back and drink some wine on the covered patio while enjoying great conversation with your friends.. most of all are the meatballs they make, grab a bag, some pasta and sauce and you have the best dinner at home and your friends will be impressed.


Needless to say they hooked me up with some Pizza dough,
sauce and good toppings for my pizza's today.
 Until Next time, Salute'
