| - Apparently a lot has changed at CPK, I haven't been in a while.
I came in for lunch today with my 3 year old son. The first thing I looked at was the kid's menu. Like a typical 3yr old, my son is very picky so I immediately looked for a chicken nuggets option. They had one, but strangely it did not come with a typical order of fries, it came with broccoli. Now, I totally understand that kids need to eat well and support their effort to give a veggie option, but there didn't even appear to be another option for a side. My son eats pretty healthy at home, but Saturday after his t-ball game is when I take him out and let him get whatever he wants - and that should be my right as a parent. So, knowing that if he saw broccoli on his plate he'd refuse to eat, I decided to order him a pizza instead. He chose the honey chicken pizza since he's not a big fan of tomato sauce and told me he wanted chicken.
When the pizza came out and he refused to eat any, I got kinda pissed since eating out with him is always a struggle and I'm getting fed up. More on this later.
For my lunch, I enjoyed the hummus appetizer... back up for a sec - I first ordered the small craving "Mediterranean plate" since I only wanted a little and it was described as hummus with Feta and pita bread. But then the waiter explained to me that it was really only a teaspoon of hummus. WTH - who orders a teaspoon of hummus?... Anyway, the hummus was great as I remembered (but I swear it was a smaller portion than it used to be), as was the smashed pea soup. My lunch was yum. Service was fine, a B I'd say.
When we got home later, I again encouraged my son to eat some pizza and he again refused. I thought this was weird since he hadn't eaten since breakfast and he is generally a pig. When I tasted the pizza I almost gagged - GROSS! And let me tell you I LOVE pizza. I was secretly not so mad about the leftover pizza 'cause I knew I could eat it later. But folks this was yuck. It's described a having a blend of white and yellow cheese, but I would bet cash money that this was some imitation Velveeta processed cheese food crap. The pizza is now in the trash and I made my son a chicken & (real) cheese quesadilla :)
