Brixx Pizza

     Mint magazine had a coupon for Brixx.  Two pizzas and an appetizer for $20.  I invited my good friends Jeremy and Kristy from church, and my wife and I met them there.  I had Brixx once a long time ago, and I didn't remember much about it.  Then again, I can barely remember last week on some occasions.

     Jeremy and Kristy ordered a "4x4", which had four meats – sausage, pepperoni, prosciutto, and bacon - and four cheeses – mozzarella, parmesan, gouda and goat cheese.  Elizabeth and I ordered the Caribbean Shrimp which has citrus-jerk marinated shrimp topped with mozzarella and pineapple salsa.

     The pizza's were 10" and range from $9 - $13.  They also have drink specials and serve beer, wine, and liquor.    

     Both pizzas were fantastic.  The crust was thin, the sauce was not excessive, and the toppings were very flavorful.  They did not skimp on the toppings, and our server was very prompt and attentive.

     If you go with children, the kids will get a piece of pizza dough to mold into any shape they can think of.  The staff will then bake it into a breadstick and return it for consumption.  (Consumption was the word on calendar today.  Had to use it in a sentence.)  Since Jeremy had never been to Brixx, I made sure he got some dough.  After crafting a masterful superman logo, he received a bread treat to share with Kristy.  Fun all around.

     When we first looked at the menus, Kristy had noticed Tiramisu.  She had room for dessert, so the order was made.  I had never had it before, and it just wasn't for me.  Kristy has had it several times, and was not impressed either.  Hey, nobody is perfect.

     In the end, we had a great night of fun and fellowship.  Would I eat here again without a coupon?  Yes.  Thanks for reading, and see you next time.

M&M Catering

     Back when I first started working at Industrial Electronics, I met my good friend Joey.  He told me about M&M, and about its complete awesomeness.  I nodded and smiled, because I am not a huge fanatic when it comes to BBQ.  But lo and behold, my wife finds an online deal for $20 worth of food from M&M, so off I go.

     Looking over the menu, I first notice the variety in which a person can order food.  Want a dinner special?  No problem!  A sampler?  Piece of cake! (Seriously, they have desserts.)  Want to buy a pulled meat product of your choice by the pound?  Easy peasy!  They even cater to large parties.  If you want it a certain way, they can most likely help you out.

     So, we decide to get two pounds of pulled chicken.  Since the sauce comes on the side, we figured that any leftovers can be used to make a new dinner tomorrow.  (We had Chicken Alfredo the next day.)  After taxes, I only paid a buck or so.  So far so good.

    It......was.......AMAZING!!!!   We ordered a sweet sauce since we have young kids, and everyone loved it.  I made the mistake of sneaking a piece of "unsauced" chicken, and then couldn't stop.  No sauce, little sauce, nothing but sauce, it doesn't matter.  The flavor was just plain superior to any BBQ I have had previously.

     We now get M&M twice a month.  For $20, I feed my family of seven, and have a decent amount of leftovers, which stretched the food budget a little longer.  The family gets to eat out, which is a special occasion for us all, but mostly for my wife Elizabeth, who I am glad to give a break from cooking dinner.

     Would I eat here again without a coupon?  I would, and currently do.  Thanks for reading!
