Date Nite with Chet
Restaurant review
by Chet Groskreutz
I read about this Caffe Gazelle in Huntington Beach and decided that we’d give it a try…and we were pleasantly surprised. You’d never expect to find gourmet cuisine in a strip mall atmosphere but… When we got there, I was a little concerned because it was so small and the décor somewhat understated…a few pictures on the walls and yet there was a man playing softly on a black keyboard (didn’t stop once while we were eating our dinner)! I choose the small round table near the keyboard player.
The thing that I noticed right away was that the place was full…a good sign.
Once you sit down, you get a torpedo of hot white bread, seemingly just out of the oven…crusty on the outside and gossamer on the inside…really good. For our starter, we order a baked artichoke –scallop dish that had a white sauce that was to die for….a great beginning. The sauces the chef uses in all his dishes are what really makes the food stand out at the Gazelle. We split a pear salad that had walnuts and fresh greens that was a perfect set-up for our main courses. Don’t know what the dressing was…but it tasted like a light olive oil with a hint of vinegar…simple and worked well with the pears and greens.
My main course…a simple veal dish with mushrooms, and a white cream Sauce that is hard to beat…a wonderful marriage of sweet spices that blended well together and tasted fantastic. Vickie had a filet mignon tornedos style which was fork tender and perfectly cooked, bathed in another white sauce that was awesome. Both dishes are presented simply with a light pasta spaghetti with a garnish of grilled broccoli. Vicki says to tell the girls they have a lot of chicken dishes too.
Dinner entrees are $10-$15, salads $6-$8…. Portions are nice…not too large but filling…probably why the prices are so fair. The service a bit slow…but the piano player is great and the food well worth the wait. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being best….this well priced find scores a strong 9…wish we’d found this place years ago! Enjoy!

Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
3 baskets of fresh strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
Whipping cream
Vanilla
Remove the stems from the strawberries. Slice into thin (1/4" to 1/8") slices. Put into a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of sugar (depending on how sweet the strawberries are to begin with) and mix into the strawberries. Set aside at room temperature to macerate (which means that the sugar will soften the strawberries and help release their juices).
After the strawberries have been sitting for 20 minutes or so, take a potato masher and mash them a little. Not too much, just enough to get more juice out of them.
Whip the cream, adding a drop or two of vanilla and a teaspoon of sugar.
To serve, break up one biscuit per person into big pieces into a bowl. Ladle strawberries over the biscuit. Add a dollop of whipped cream.

Place in crock pot on low for 8 hours. When cool enough, shred with 2 forks or your hands and remove some of the fat not all.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet until extremely hot. Places shredded pork in skillet and let it get super crunchy on one side, taste and see if this needs anymore salt. You only want some of the meat crunchy. You can flip it over for a few more minutes. That's it-you get some great Carnitas meat for tacos.

Restaurant Style Carnitas
1 giant pork roast
Generous amount of Garlic Salt
Pepper
Vegetable oil
Sprinkle generous amounts of garlic salt all over roast and brown on all sides in a very hot skillet with a little oil. Pepper all sides as well.
Place in crock pot on low for 8 hours. When cool enough, shred with 2 forks or your hands and remove some of the fat not all.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet until extremely hot. Places shredded pork in skillet and let it get super crunchy on one side, taste and see if this needs anymore salt. You only want some of the meat crunchy. You can flip it over for a few more minutes. That's it-you get some great Carnitas meat for tacos.

Eggs are easy to make, affordable, and very nutritious, but in the past few years, they’ve gotten an undeserved bad rap due to their high cholesterol and saturated fat content. The truth is, dietary cholesterol doesn’t have as much influence on elevating blood cholesterol as you think. In fact we only absorb about half of the cholesterol we get through our diet.
They can boost your memory: Egg yolks are rich in choline, an essential nutrient that acts as a precursor for acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter involved in many functions like memory and muscle control.
They can help you see better: Lutein, a carotenoid found in eggs, is thought to prevent oxidative damage to the eye and reduce age-related eye disease. Even better: Lutein from eggs may be absorbed into the bloodstream more readily than lutein from other. Egg yolks also contain vitamin A, which in adequate amounts, helps prevent night blindness, regulates the immune system, and prevents mutations during embryonic development.
They make your bones stronger: Egg yolks contain some vitamin D, which aids in calcium absorption and helps prevent osteoporosis.
They can help you get a leaner, stronger frame: One large egg white has about half of all the protein in an egg — 3.5 grams — for just 20 calories and 0 grams fat. It is the ultimate source of high biological value lean protein — the kind that keeps us full, helps grow healthy tissue, and repairs muscles after exercise. It is also a good source of riboflavin, a B-vitamin used in carbohydrate and fat metabolism.
They’re the best beauty secret: Since eggs contain all the amino acids that are needed to build keratins, a group of tough, fibrous proteins that form the structural framework of certain cells, they strengthen hair, skin, and nails.
And a few facts on buying and storing eggs:
Color: The color of the egg has no effect on nutrition. The breed of the hen actually determines whether or not the egg will be white or brown.
Grade: The grade of the egg has no effect on the nutrition quality. Rather, it’s a reflection of interior and exterior quality. To judge freshness, use carton dates. Eggs can last 4 to 5 weeks beyond packed date if properly refrigerated (40 degrees Fahrenheit). If they are hard-boiled they can last one week in the refrigerator.
Storage: Don’t use dirty, cracked, or broken eggs as they may contain bacteria and contaminants. Store eggs away from smelly foods or strongly flavored ones to reduce odor absorption.
