Pioneer Cafe A.B.T.C.

Over at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale a simple lunch is this A.B.T.C. a relative of the B.L.T. I think. What we have is Avocado, Bacon, Tomato, Cheese, and lettuce all on toasted bread. You hardly notice the tomato. 

As sandwiches go this is a good one. I'm not sure it's worth going to a restaurant to eat, but then again, I'm not sure you're saving all that much making this at home. If you have this with a salad you're likely not as fat as me. 

Pioneer Cafe Corned Beef on Rye

Over at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale you can get yourself a nice wet Corned Beef on Rye sandwich. I am beside myself in the understanding that this is how they make these across the country. I like my lunch meat grilled and not just heated. 

These have a lot of salt so they are best had with a beer...then again what isn't best had with a beer... a colonoscopy I guess. 

Pioneer Cafe Pork Chop

Nothing says dinner like a good old Pork Chop and the one sold at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale is as pork chop as they get. I can't say that it's better than the ones I make at home but I will say I felt like gnawing on the bone. Restaurants frown on that for some reason and as the Pioneer Cafe is family own and I was served by the owner's son I can't go gnawing on his bones to resolve the issue. That and the skinny kid has no meat on him so he wouldn't make much of a meal.

Moral here, consume the food not the staff.   

Pioneer Cafe Cottage Cheese & Fruit Salad

At the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale you can get a Cottage Cheese & Fruit Salad. They don't make a lot of these as far as I can gather so they may ask if you want the big one or the small one. This is the big one.

Now this is a simple idea and one that works very well for those of us who walk six miles in one day of work and need our water. I will say that this was hard to finish it was so large. I would have liked more cottage cheese, but you get what you get. 

At the end of the day, this is a great idea that his healthy and filling. Eat these or look like me.

Pioneer Cafe Eggs

At the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale you can get yourself some eggs. Yep, first thing on the menu is eggs, and they come with potatoes and toast. Now, understand that if you order this you are either a vegetarian or just trying to eat for less, because there are better things on the menu. 

That is not to say that these are bad they just are. That's how eggs are supposed to be.

Pioneer Cafe Chicken Strips

Chicken Strips at the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale are basic, classic, and what your looking for when you order them. They fit the definition of chicken strips so well that there isn't a lot for me to say about them. One of the best things on the menu. 

Pioneer Cafe Potatoes

If you order eggs at the Pioneer Cafe they come with the potatoes. Yeah, these are definitely potatoes and past the green onions they are unseasoned so that you, the diner, can choose how you like them. I like to add pepper. 

Pioneer Cafe Wheat Toast

If you're having breakfast before your trip to Universal Studios you may stop in to the Pioneer Cafe in Glendale, and have yourself some wheat toast. 

This would be a good idea, because wheat is more filling then white and, like most things at the Pioneer Cafe, this is an unoffensive food. I would recommend you make good use of the jelly these come with, because I think that butter is unsalted. 

That's the basic thing I find about the Pioneer Cafe is that they make food more designed to be seasoned by the diner than by the chef. It's an odd choice, but I keep going back for more.
