Public House

So on my beach trip to San Diego, I found myself in a landlocked little town called Temecula. It actually was a pretty nice town and well, I didn't really go for the beach or San Diego, but for the company! A bunch of friends and I rented this nice house and just lounged around all week. On one of the days, we ventured into Old Town Temecula and explored the small shops and restaurants. Public House got rave reviews online and even some recommendations from my friend's coworkers so we decided to give it a try!

Sweetly Spicy Public House Fries

We ordered 2 versions of the Public House fries. Initially, this one seemed to be the tastier of the two with a bit of a spicy kick, but mostly sweet. But after eating a bunch, I think most of us preferred the 2nd version...

Salt & Vinegar Public House Fries

The classics are classic for a reason! They just hit the spot and you can't go wrong.

Ceviche

We weren't expecting ceviche like this. It seemed like the fish was mostly cooked and the sauce was weird. The presentation was also really weird, but interesting!

Mac n Cheese

My friend ordered this mac and cheese. The presentation was really unique! But the mac n cheese was too rich for my taste!

Mixed up mac n cheese

Looking more like normal mac n cheese

Burger...

The burgers were what we came for, but don't let this picture deceive you. I found the burger actually a little disappointing. Sure it was cooked to order (medium rare), but I found it way too dry. It wasn't juicy at all!

Happy Birthday Isaac (& Obama)

In honor of Prez Obama's 50th, Z-Burger offered a burger and milk shake for .50cents each today. 45 min on line and $7.62 later, we got 2 cheeseburgers, 2 shakes, fries, & onion rings. Thanks Obama and slick deals!

For how busy and tired these workers must have been all day, I was impressed by how friendly & efficient they were. Kudos.

Cheeseburger (mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, fried onion, sauteed mushroom, jalepeno)

ack I forgot to leave off the mayo. Nonetheless, it was a better version of a five guys burger. More burger, better bun, less greasy. Then again, I think five guys is overrated.

Half fries Half Onion Ring order

Fries were ok. I picked at the translucent oily ones. Onion ring batter was too thick. You could tell just looking at it.

Chocolate Oreo & Peach Mango Milkshake

Chocolate Oreo was good, no real surprises there. Our extra nice server recommended Peach Mango but it was too artificial. blech.

Market Lunch

overall, the food was tasty, but i think the atmosphere of the market really makes the experience rather than the food.

the menu at Market Lunch

the atmosphere at eastern market really is unique

crab cake sandwich

pretty good balance of crab meat and breading!

a bite into the crab cake

i don't like too much mayonnaise in my crab cakes. this one was just right on the mayonnaise

cod sandwich

not too dry, breading wasn't too thick, but not that much meat on the fish filet...

fresh cut fries

pretty tasty, but nothing exceptionally special...
