    Naan & Kebob, Tustin

    Never did catering, but have gotten take-out many times there.  Great food, big servings, good prices!

    Tree trimming deadline?

    Hi all. I've been in Northpark for 13 years now and I was sure there was some deadline in the Spring for trimming trees or I'd have to wait until the Fall.  However, I can't find any documentation on this.  Am I imaging it?  Is this an Irvine rule?  California?  Northpark HOA? Thanks! David

    Crispa Crepes (Irvine)

    Yeah - my wife and I were walking over to Chipotle and saw the crepe place was gone.  No surprise since they didn't have enough variety to keep busy in that plaza.  Also saw that Pan Asia is now a Vietnamese noodle place but didn't try it. I really wish Champagne would stay open past 7pm so...

    That would be great.  I'm pretty sure it would be easy to convert a spreadsheet (probably saved as CSV) to vcard.

    G Burger at Irvine Marketplace

    I finally tried the 50/50 thing.  I love burgers (mainly thick and medium-rare) and bacon.  Didn't like the 50/50 at all.  I guess if you like well-done it's ok but you can't get that medium-rare taste and texture of the patty and crispy bacon when they're mixed together.  Oh well.

    List of Contractors and Vendors

    This thread/list is great!  Thanks so much. However...  if you (or anyone) happens to have put this all into Outlook or some other address-book software and could export it as vcard files, that would be super-amazing so anyone could just import these into their computer or iPhone/Android! David

    Electrian/contractor recommendation to install Chandelier and J box

    Hi.  Did you ever find a good electrician?  I need someone for a simple job - adding breakers to a panel. Thanks, David

    G Burger at Irvine Marketplace

    Finally tried this place yesterday.  The burgers are amazing - especially for the price!  Big, thick patty.  They ask how you wanted it done and my medium-rare was perfect!  Lots of greens and tomato and tons of add-on toppings for small charges.  Very juicy/messy, but worth it!  Blows away any...

    Creamistry?

    Wow - given the lines and wait now, I wouldn't want to be within a mile of the place that day! Actually, I hadn't realized that the Rite Aid at Jamboree & Irvine Blvd (technically on the Tustin side) still had a Thrifty Ice Cream counter.  My wife and I went them on the weekend and got a single...

    Ren Asian Bistro (Irvine, Orchard Hills)

    Yeah - we tried it a few days ago.  Good prices, good food, big servings.  Definitely going to be a regular place to eat! We had the egg-drop soup, Mongolian Beef, and garlic shrimp. Lo mein looked really good. Will probably try that next time.

    Traffic on Sand Canyon

    Anyone have updates on the construction schedule?  It's been a nightmare from ICD to past the 5 for a couple of months.  I've been double-hit:  I used to ride to work on my bike on the trail, which has been closed to SC for a couple of years now.  And then I bought a CNG Honda Civic and the...

    Devilicious Dougnuts

    We tried going there last about a week ago around 7pm.  Their website says they're open until 10pm.  Got to the plaza and drove around looking for it.  And around. And around.  Finally asked the guy at the coffee place if he knew where it was.  We drove past it a dozen times. It was closed...

    Creamistry?

    The Creamistry thread is now about beer :)  That's fine. To bring it back OT, I did think Creamistry should have alcoholic flavors!  Putting liquor in ice cream works great. The alcohol lowers the freezing point so it doesn't turn into a solid block of ice.  Not to mention the flavor and the...

    Creamistry?

    We were near the Whole Foods on Sunday but after driving around for a few minutes looking for a spot, we gave up and just went home.  I've never despised a mall/parking lot as much as The District. And it has no excuse since it's only a few years old and had a blank, rectangular piece of land to...

    Morey's Place (formally Nana's, formally Black Sheep)

    Is that supposed to be "formerly"?

    Creamistry?

    I tried Mochilato today and got a medium with chocolate and mango.  It was ok but nothing great and didn't taste very fresh.  Also, everything I had read about the place said it was just a bakery / dessert place but they had various asian entrees too.  In fact, that was a real negative since the...

    Creamistry?

    A lot of the Yelp reviews are really over the top and also not taking into consideration that it's a new place.  I mean, its nuts to slam the place on opening day and declare that you'll never go back. Anyway, we thought the ice-cream was excellent but the criticism of the wait is valid.  They...

    Bruxie - Irvine

    Yesterday at about 6pm it was very light, but by the time we left, around 7pm, it was packed!

    Crispa Crepes (Irvine)

    Yeah - seriously disappointed by this place and don't think it will last long.  Small selection and didn't think the food was very good.  On top of that, as others have written, Champagne is much better and has some of the same food and the crepe place at The Spectrum is much, much better (but...
