Episode 72: California Pizza Kitchen Chicken Santa Fe Flatbread Melt

22 Mar, 2009

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

California Pizza Kitchen is known for bringing barbecue chicken pizza to popularity. But besides some pretty decent quality restaurants in pretty decent malls across the country, there really isn’t any thing extraordinary about CPK’s offerings to the gods of good eats.

But then this Chicken Santa Fe Flatbread Melt came along and blew my socks off. The crispness of the flatbread, the quality chicken and peppers, the low-cal high impact sandwich. This has it all.

P.S. I hope you like my new theme song from my friends Skyrmish.

Your reviews are just odd. It's hard to understand. Not a huge complaint but I find it weird most of yoru reviews are based one 1 bite of something, 2 bites of something, or if it's like a roll or whatever a small item you'll base the review on just the 1. I don't know if that's good or bad but it is interesting.

LiQuid!

I watched one of your latest episodes first and went back and watched them from the beginning over the last two days and I've gotta say, I've been waiting for this theme song the entire time. Don't listen to the haters, it makes the show!

Haha. I'll say it's definitely grown on me. I watch the old ones from time to time and now the old intro throws me off.

OK. I tried these on your rave review. Awesome. We tried a chicken/bacon club-which i thought i wouldn't like, but did, and a carned asada. Carne asada was really good. great tasting, tender steak. You must try it. These are on sale at my local grocery store for $2.50 each. So I went back and bought 6. :)

Turn table here as well. My old one was missing the plastic wheely thing though, so the glass plate just sat there. Apparently my CPK would not have cooked well in that old one...

Yes on the turntable (although my mw is a puny 700watter).

I tried one of these today and it was good but man I have no patience when I'm hungry and I always lose the skin off the roof of my mouth when eating this type of ff. Watch out for the lava-hot cheese (gaffigan reference).

Have a microwave turntable but it does not turn anymore.

I didn't hear the Dick Dale -- it sounded like more of a Clash tribute to me... which is a good thing. My only critique would be that the music ends too abruptly :)

As for the food? It looked like a lot more work than I would prefer. However, I'm a big fan of the CPK mini pizzas, so maybe I'll try it anyway with my super turntable-enabled microwave.

Keep on rockin', Greg!
