Peter’s Gourmade Grill: Burger Bests

July 16, 2013 by

Peter’s Gourmade Grill has come a long way since its previous location inside a Valero gas station on the edge of Tustin. Word of mouth and a couple excellent write-ups in local Orange County papers propelled the restaurant to success and in early 2012 it moved to the corner of McFadden and Newport Avenues. Stop into the new location for an ABC Burger—the letters stand for avocado, bacon, cheddar—or the Mushroom Swiss Bacon Burger, two of the best in the OC. The Greek fries are often the subject of rave reviews as well. Those less inclined to enjoy a burger can dig into a basil chicken sandwich or a gyro and even vegetarians will enjoy a veggie burger homemade from Peter’s own recipe. Seating is limited, especially as this spot rockets upward in popularity, but the service is good (you can even text in an order) and the food is definitely worth the reasonable price.

The Winery: An Upscale Wine Bar in Tustin, California

June 26, 2013 by

Per its name, The Winery is a combination between a wine bar and an upscale restaurant with a relaxed but sophisticated ambience. The interior here is lovely with private rooms available at request. The YG’s Alsatian “Pizza”, made with crème fraîche, Gruyère, applewood smoked bacon, and onions, is a delicious appetizer, though heavy for a flatbread. A sommelier is available to recommend wines to pair with it and every other item on the menu, and the wine selection is about as extensive as befits a restaurant named for its fully-stocked bar. The duck breast and seared Alaskan halibut are both well-regarded entrees. The Tahitian vanilla bean crème brulee makes for a great conclusion to a meal!
