California Pizza Kitchen....been there?
GO!! Especially if you round up a group of kids (ages 5-8), call ahead of time to schedule an appointment, and get to have a great time FOR FREE touring the restaurant, kitchen, preparing your own personal pizza & then tasting the Y-U-M-M-Y goodness you created!
We took K's preschool for a field trip last week and had a tasty time! The best part (that us moms couldn't believe) was that it was 100% FREE. zip, zilch, nada...the kids walked in, sat down to color their kids menus, went on the official tour with Chef Anothony (Gen Mgr), took a looksee into each part of the kitchen (where we were all amazed....the pantries only hold 1.5 days worth of food! you can't imagine how many bottle of hershey's syrup this place goes through in a day!) At one point we were in the refrigerator....a so-called sound-proof room....Chef Anothony really asked for it when he told the kids to 1-2-3 SCREEAAM at the top of your lungs...."sound-proof"? not exactly when you're talkin' about 12 4 & 5 yr old kids!
After the tour it was off to the tables to prepare our pizzas (this is a watching field trip for parents...free pizzas only go to the kids....though he did bring out drinks for all the moms...he must have seen that "we need caffeine" look we were giving....at least from me...everyone else wanted lemonade!) The kids each got their own drinks, colored while waiting for the pizza to cook and then it was tasting time! K thoroughly enjoyed her pizza & earned her CPK Certificate (also good for another free kids meal when we bring the family back....here's the part that isn't so free!)
This would be SO FUN! When we come and visit, just our kids alone would be a big enough group! We've gotta do this!
