Dinner at Chick-fil-A

Dinner tonight at Chick-fil-A, on the south side of Huntington, just west of the freeway. It has great air-conditioning! Got a spicy Honey Pepper Pimento sandwich with fries and a soda for $14.05.

Dinner at the tiny Lin‘s Club, on the east side of the Mon-Arc shopping center at Duarte Road and Sixth. Got the Hot and Spicy Fish Fillet for $15.99, a dish of rice for $1, and a soda for $2. Very generous portion of fish! And when they say spicy, we’re talking eye watering, nose running spicy. I liked it, even if my nose didn’t.

Lunch at Le Roy's

Lunch at Le Roy's, on the north side of Huntington just west of Mayflower. Got the dieter's Cold Plate (I'm trying to lose a pound) for $16.75 and an iced tea for $4.25. The turkey was real sliced turkey, not cold cuts. The ham had a nice smoky flavor. And lots. I couldn't finish it all and had to take some home. Not sure I will lose any weight after all this, but very good!

Dinner at new Mayan Bar and Noodle restaurant

Had dinner at the new Szechuan style Chinese restaurant in the Aztec Hotel on Foothill. Got the spicy beef noodle bowl for $15. It was very good and there was a generous amount of beef in it. There's no sign out front yet, but I was told that the restaurant name will be Mayan Bar and Noodle. The "bar" part of the name has not yet fully kicked in as the restaurant still needs to get city approval.
