Pepperoni's Cafe
So Pepperoni's isn't great. Sometimes I feel bad saying things like that. I worry that the owners will find this post and it will ruin their day. I especially feel bad about it when I have no problem with the people there. Sometimes people do something that make me have no problem if they know if I didn't enjoy my meal. For example, St. James Cheese Company stole $15 from me. But Pepperoni's has nice people just not great food.
We started with the garlic cheese bread.
We started with the garlic cheese bread.
I like bread, cheese, and garlic so much. What I'm not crazy about is sesame seeds and the bottom if this garlic cheese bread was laden with them. I couldn't figure out why bread with sesame seeds would even be in an Italian place. I was hungry though so I ate 4 peices.
Kerry had a shrimp wrap.
I didn't eat any of it so I don't know what it was like but what I can tell you is she only ate half of it. It came with Sun Chips. Sun Chips!
Alright and I had a calzone.
My calzone had no ricotta in it. I'm not sure if calzones have to have ricotta in them but I like mine with ricotta. I got it with olives, spinach, and Italian sausage. I don't know it just wasn't great. I ate it anyway but it wasn't great.
I think there is a place for not great cheap little places. I'll be honest, sometimes I just don't care if the food is great as long as I don't have to pay much. But when it was all said and done the bill came out to $39 (inc. tip). That's way too much for a sub par meal. I don't care how hungry I am. And I was so hungry.

Lundi Gras Dinner at LPK
So I know I promised a parade food post but we (I) had had to go to the bathroom so bad after watching the Orpheus Parade that we had to go right back to my place. So we decided the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen on Carrollton wasn't a bad option... but that's still up for debate.
It was crowded and just a few minutes before closing, but they still sat and served us. We started with the Fresh Mozzarella Salad. It was pretty standard but tasty. Fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, red onion, basil, and balsamic.
I had the Chicken Manicotti with chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, mushrooms, and spinach in pasta with marinara and then baked. It was alright, nothing really special though and kinda watery which sounds really gross but it wasn't, it just wasn't great.
Kerry Mitchell had the calzone with cheese, Italian sausage and mozzarella and ricotta, which was more of the same as far as quality goes. She said it didn't have much flavor. Afterward she felt sick until the morning. So I said in the first post that 90% of what we eat is good. It was about time for the other 10% to show up I guess.Really, maybe it's our fault for not getting Pizza at Louisiana Pizza Kitchen.
