Enjoy a Leisurely Brunch at Marston’s Restaurant

March 26, 2015 by

More than 25 years ago, husband-and-wife team Sally and Otis Marston opened a charming little breakfast and lunch spot in Pasadena. In 2011, they expanded to include a location here in Valencia. Try a plate of sourdough French toast, rolled in cornflake crumbs that cook into a crispy, golden crust and topped with your choice of fresh berries, nuts, and whipped cream. If savory foods are more your speed, you may be interested in the pulled pork Benedict, which combines two poached eggs with barbecued pork and a spicy hollandaise sauce.

This place is popular, so if you've got a large group or are planning on a Sunday brunch, reservations are highly recommended. Finally, don't forget about Marston’s Restaurant after dark. Dinner near one of the outdoor fire pits can make for a relaxing or romantic evening, and the shrimp risotto and beef tenderloin are popular dinner choices among regulars.

Fab Hot Dogs: Franks Inspired By the Nation’s Eclectic Fares

January 29, 2015 by

Chef Joe Fabrocini, owner of Fab Hot Dogs, traveled the nation exploring each region’s different hot dogs and sausages before returning to the West Coast to found his own hot dog restaurant. Locals say the management and staff of the Valencia branch, an offshoot of Fabrocini's flagship eatery, are even friendlier and more helpful than those of the original location. When it comes to the food, however, regulars like the way the sausage casing on the all-beef hot dogs snaps when you bite into it. Popular menu items at Fab Hot Dogs include the Chicago dog, the Carolina dog, the cheese Coney, the Ripper, the LA Street dog and the grilled chicken and Swiss sandwich.

Specialty dogs are available in regular and foot-long sizes. Locals say that Fab Hot Dogs is reasonably priced and delivery orders arrive quickly. Fab Hot Dogs is open Sundays through Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Thursdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
