food bon vivant: Green Street Restaurant in Pasadena

Mrs. Dominguez has been waiting to take me out for my birthday! We were finally able to find time to go out to lunch this past Sunday. She always raved about Green Street Restaurant in Pasadena; I wanted to know what the buzz was all about!

Brittney, Melinda, and I

Mrs. D!

zucchini bread! Bits and pieces of zucchini in carrot bread.

Let's start with some chips and guac!

Of course! I had to get soup. One of my favorites TOMATO BISQUE. I really enjoyed this one. There will little bites of tomato! and the sourdough bread was perfect to dip into the soup.

Melinda ordered the STEPHANS SANDWICH: Fresh breast of chicken with sauteed mushrooms, onions, avocado, sour cream and cheese on grilled sourdough 12.95

Mrs. D's favorite salad, DIANNE: Green Street's famous dressing tossed with tender white, moist chicken, crisp Asian noodles, toasted almonds, sesame seeds and crisp, cold shredded lettuce 11.95

Brittney's GAUCHO SANDWICH: Chipotle seasoned chicken breast, charbroiled. With avocado, lettuce on a ciabatta roll with chimchurri mayonnaise 12.50

So, I was torn between two dishes, one of them being my favorite the Portabello Sandwich, but I decided to switch it up a little bit. Cuz I am sure you're tired of seeing pictures of the same food ahah. This my friends is the RIGATONI WITH SQUASH, SAUSAGE, AND GOAT CHEESE.

A pretty self explanatory dish! Sauteed squash and crumbled italian sausage tossed together with rigatoni and goat cheese. 12.95 AMAZING. If you like goat cheese, you'll really like this pasta.

I totally forgot that we came to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, I was caught off guard when they brought out my ice cream. But isn't it so pretty!

After being so stuffed, I still wanted eat some more! Jk But we walked around Old Town Pasadena. I was too stoked when I saw that there was a Cheese Store.
