Best Chain Salad? California Pizza Kitchen Review feat. Holly Brown [Part Two]

I love CPK, but not for the pizza!

  • California Pizza Kitchen is such a favorite of mine, I'm surprised it took 70 episodes to get to it! My guest, comedian Holly Brown is just as passionate about this chain as I am, so this was a great time
  • The Good includes my favorite salad ever, Holly & my pasta dishes, & the vibes
  • The Not Good: The BBQ Chicken Pizza, the pasta plate real estate, the complimentary bread portions
  • The Just There: This location didn't smell like a septic tank for once!
  • What we ate: White Corn Guac & Chips, Bread & Oil, Thai Crunch Salad, Fettucine Alfredo, Spaghetti Bolognese, BBQ Chicken Pizza, Butter Cake, Mango Strawberry Lemonade
  • Holly's least favorite restaurant experience ever is every Californian's trauma
  • "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!
